Question 1

What happens if my gas fire fails its service check?

Accepted Answer

We explain honestly what was found, what it means for the safety of the fire, and what your options are. There is no pressure to agree to work on the spot, and any further repair is quoted separately with a fixed, upfront price.

Question 2

Can you service any make of gas fire?

Accepted Answer

We service most common domestic gas fires. Call us with the make and model, or send a photo if you are unsure, and we will confirm we can help before booking a visit, so you are never left with a wasted appointment.

Question 3

Why does my gas fire need servicing if it seems to be working fine?

Accepted Answer

A gas fire can look and feel fine while quietly developing combustion or ventilation issues that are not obvious to the eye. Annual servicing catches this early wear before it becomes a genuine safety issue, which is why it matters even when nothing seems wrong.

Question 4

Do you service gas fires in Knotts for landlords with multiple rental properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry out gas fire servicing and CP12 Landlord Gas Safety Certificates across Knotts and the wider Lancashire area, and are happy to work with landlords who need several rental properties checked by the same Gas Safe registered engineer.

Question 5

Are your prices fixed or do you charge by the hour?

Accepted Answer

Wherever possible we provide a fixed, written quote before work begins, covering installations, servicing and most plumbing jobs, so there are no surprises on the day. This is confirmed after a free survey or an honest phone conversation about the job.

Question 6

Do older gas fires in Knotts need servicing more often than modern ones?

Accepted Answer

The recommended interval is the same, once a year, regardless of age, though older fires in older Knotts properties are more likely to show wear that needs attention. Annual servicing is what catches that wear early, whatever the age of the fire.

Question 7

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.

Question 8

How long does a boiler installation typically take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like combi boiler swap usually takes one working day. Converting from a conventional or system boiler to a combi, or fitting a new unvented cylinder alongside the installation, can take one to two days depending on the pipework involved. We confirm the expected timescale in your written quote.

Question 9

What are the warning signs my gas fire needs attention?

Accepted Answer

A yellow or orange flame instead of blue, soot or black marks around the fire surround, an unusual smell when the fire is running, or a pilot light that will not stay lit are all signs your gas fire needs checking promptly by a Gas Safe engineer.

Question 10

What areas do you cover from Colne?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Colne (BB8) and cover Burnley and the Pendle area, plus surrounding towns and villages within around 10 miles, including Trawden, Barnoldswick, Nelson, Barrowford, Foulridge and Skipton. If you are not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call and we will let you know.
