Question 1

What does a gas fire service actually check?

Accepted Answer

We check the flame picture, spillage and ventilation, the flue where applicable, gas tightness, and the general condition of the fire and its controls, in line with Gas Safe safety requirements. We then clean and adjust the fire as needed.

Question 2

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 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 offer emergency call-outs for gas fires in Wallbank?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. If you ever smell gas, treat it as an emergency and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately, then contact us for any repair.

Question 5

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 6

Do older gas fires in Wallbank 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 Wallbank 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

Is a gas fire service different from a boiler service?

Accepted Answer

The safety principles are the same, checking combustion, ventilation and the flue, but a gas fire service focuses on the flame picture, spillage and the fire and its controls specifically. Both typically take around 30 to 45 minutes and are carried out by the same Gas Safe registered engineer.

Question 8

Will you clean my gas fire as part of the service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the safety checks are complete, we clean and adjust the fire as needed so it is burning safely and efficiently. A cleanly running fire is safer and also looks and performs the way it was meant to.

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

Can you tell me over the phone if my gas fire in Wallbank 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.
