Question 1

How long does a gas fire service take?

Accepted Answer

A standard gas fire service typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, similar to a boiler service, depending on the type and condition of the fire. Our engineer works methodically rather than rushing the safety checks.

Question 2

Can you tell me over the phone if my gas fire in Oakenhead Wood needs servicing?

Accepted Answer

We can give general guidance over the phone, but a proper answer needs an in person check of the flame, ventilation, flue and controls. Call us on 07880 240138 and we can talk through what you are noticing before booking a visit.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry out gas fire servicing and CP12 Landlord Gas Safety Certificates across Oakenhead Wood 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 4

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 5

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 6

Do older gas fires in Oakenhead Wood 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 Oakenhead Wood 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 do I book a gas fire service in Oakenhead Wood?

Accepted Answer

Call 07880 240138 with the make and model of your fire, or send a photo if you are unsure, and we will confirm we can help and arrange a convenient working-hours appointment. Working hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm.

Question 8

How can I check you are Gas Safe registered before booking in Oakenhead Wood?

Accepted Answer

You can verify us independently on the official Gas Safe Register using our Register No. 640113 before any work begins in Oakenhead Wood. Every Gas Safe registered engineer carries a unique ID card, and we are always happy for customers to check first.

Question 9

What should I do if I smell gas in my home?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, you should immediately open doors and windows to ventilate the area, turn off the gas supply at the meter (if safe to do so), avoid using any electrical switches, naked flames, or phones inside the property, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Once the emergency has been handled, contact us during working hours for any follow-up repair work.

Question 10

Do you fit carbon monoxide alarms alongside a gas fire service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can advise on and fit a carbon monoxide alarm near any gas appliance if you do not already have one, as an extra layer of protection alongside regular servicing. It is a small step that adds real peace of mind.
