When do you need a Gas fire & stove service?
An annual service is recommended for all gas fires and stoves to ensure they are operating safely and efficiently. Repairs are needed if you notice issues like strange smells, discoloured flames, or the appliance not working correctly.
What happens on the day
A Gas Safe registered engineer will conduct a visual inspection, clean components such as the burners and pilot light, check for gas leaks, and test the appliance's safety devices. They will also inspect the flue and ventilation, providing a safety report upon completion.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the gas fire or stove for easy access.
- Remove any decorative items from the hearth.
- Ensure the appliance is switched off prior to the visit.
- Note down any concerns or unusual observations.
- Ensure pets are secured.
How to improve your result

Why it is useful day to day
