None of that is obvious day to day, which is exactly why regular servicing matters. It's a straightforward job for a Gas Safe registered engineer, but it's not one to skip or leave to guesswork. We start with a visual check of the fire, its casing and the flue or chimney, then move through gas tightness and pressure testing, a look at the internal components, and a check of the flue and ventilation. Depending on the appliance, that might include cleaning the burner and ignition parts, checking seals and safety controls, and testing the flame pattern and carbon monoxide levels once it's all back together. > A gas fire should be looked after by someone who understands exactly what they're checking, and why. If we find something during the service, whether that's a worn part, a blockage or a flue issue, we'll tell you plainly what it is and what your options are. Most services turn up nothing more than routine cleaning and a clean bill of health, but it's better to know either way.

Most manufacturers and Gas Safe guidance recommend an annual service to keep the appliance safe and running efficiently. How long does a gas fire service take? A straightforward service is usually fairly quick, but it can take longer if the fire needs extensive cleaning or if we find something that needs a closer look. Is this only for homes, or do you service commercial gas fires too? We're Gas Safe registered for domestic work, so our gas fire servicing covers homes rather than commercial premises. What happens if you find a fault during the service? We'll explain clearly what we've found and talk you through the options, whether that's a straightforward fix or something that needs more attention. Do you service all makes of gas fire? We service a wide range of gas fires; if you're not sure about your particular model, just mention the make when you get in touch. Will you leave a mess behind? No, we work tidily and carefully around your fireplace and furniture, and leave everything as we found it. Do you cover my area? We are based in Woodingdean and cover Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Lewes, Shoreham-by-Sea, Haywards Heath, Seaford, Burgess Hill and surrounding Sussex towns. Can you also service my boiler at the same time? Yes, as a Gas Safe registered and accredited Vaillant installer we're happy to look at both if you'd like to book them together. ## Book your gas fire service Give us a call or send an enquiry and we'll get a convenient appointment sorted for your home.
