Why has my gas fire stopped working?
Gas fires can stop working for several reasons including faulty
thermocouples, ignition faults, blocked pilot injectors, worn
components, gas supply issues or ventilation problems. A professional
diagnosis is usually required to identify the exact fault.
Can you repair all types of gas fires?
Yes. We repair many types of gas fires including inset gas fires,
outset gas fires, living flame fires, decorative fuel effect fires
and hole-in-the-wall gas fires, subject to parts availability.
My pilot light won't stay lit. What could be wrong?
This is often caused by a faulty thermocouple, oxygen depletion
sensor (ODS), blocked pilot assembly or a gas valve fault. These
components can usually be tested during a repair visit.
Is it safe to use a faulty gas fire?
No. If your gas fire is showing signs of a fault, unusual smells,
poor combustion, staining, or is not operating correctly, it should
be switched off until it has been inspected by a Gas Safe registered
engineer.
Can a gas fire be repaired instead of replaced?
In many cases yes. Replacing worn components can often restore safe
and reliable operation. If parts are obsolete or the appliance is no
longer economical to repair, we will explain the available options.
Why is my gas fire producing black marks or soot?
Sooting or staining can indicate incorrect combustion, damaged fuel
effects, blocked burners or ventilation issues. This should be
investigated immediately as it can become a serious safety concern.
Do you carry common gas fire parts?
We carry a selection of commonly used parts and can source many
additional components from manufacturers and suppliers when required.
How much does a gas fire repair cost?
Repair costs vary depending on the fault and any replacement parts
required. After diagnosing the issue, we will explain the problem and
provide a clear quotation before any repair work is carried out.
Can regular servicing reduce breakdowns?
Yes. Annual servicing helps identify worn parts early, improves
reliability, ensures safe operation and can help prevent unexpected
breakdowns.
