Gas Fire Servicing, Maintenance And Installation

Our gas fire engineers are Gas Safe registered professionals providing gas fire servicing, maintenance, safety checks and light installation advice across Lambeth and South London.

We work with current domestic gas fire equipment, including inset gas fires, wall-mounted gas fires and gas stoves. Whether your appliance needs an annual service, a safety check or advice on a suitable installation, we can help you understand the safest next step.

A gas fire service checks the condition, safety and operation of the appliance. Maintenance helps keep the appliance working safely and efficiently, while safety checks can identify warning signs such as ignition issues, weak flames, unusual noises or signs of poor combustion. Installation support is limited to advice and guidance where the property, appliance and flue arrangements allow it.

Gas Fire Service

A gas fire service is a practical safety and performance check for your appliance. It is different from a landlord gas safety inspection, as servicing looks more closely at the condition, key parts and operation of the fire.

During gas fire servicing, an engineer may check the ignition and pilot light, burner operation, visible gas connections, controls, ventilation, flue condition and signs of poor combustion. The exact checks depend on the appliance type, manufacturer guidance and the condition of the fire.

Regular servicing helps reduce risks linked to poor combustion, carbon monoxide, gas leaks and inefficient performance. We recommend arranging an annual gas fireplace service before autumn or winter, especially if the appliance has not been used for several months.

Common Gas Fire Problems

Leaking Underlying Pipes

If there is no ignition but you smell natural gas or a chemical in your room, there may be a piping leak. It is extremely risky and not advised to be fixed on your own. We advise seeking professional assistance from our experts in such a situation and leave the gas leakage area right away. Remember to shut off the main gas supply valve to stop the flow of gas.

Blocked Gas Valve

It’s most likely a blocked or closed gas valve if you try to light a gas fire but there is no ignition and you cannot smell any gas. If the gas valve is off, check it and turn it on. Turn the valve 90 degrees so that it is in line with the pipe before opening it.

Faulty Thermopile/Thermocouple

New gas fireplaces use thermopiles, while older models used thermocouples to produce the necessary power for it to ignite. It can also be used as a temperature sensor. Your gas fire won’t light if the thermopile malfunctions since it might not be properly connected or secured. You must ensure that all the wires, screws, and tubing are connected correctly in order to resolve this problem.

Issues with the Burner

The circuitry for the gas fireplace includes voltage levels, a cavity for the pilot light, and a group of burner jets. A dirty pilot cavity or the improper thermostat settings may be the only causes of a non-working burner. If the burner is not routinely maintained and cleaned, dirt may gather in the burner jets and prevent them from functioning properly. This problem can be resolved by thoroughly cleaning the burner jets and the pilot cavity.

Strange noises

Your gas fireplace has been making an odd noise, which could be described as a rumble, roar, grind, or screeching sound. It’s possible that the blower just needs to be replaced because it makes such an odd sound. In order to solve this problem, you will need to get a new blower and replace the old one.
