Gas Fire Servicing and Repair in Wallington
A gas fire should be checked once a year, just like a boiler. We service, repair and safety check gas fires across Wallington, Sutton, Croydon and the surrounding areas.
What's included in a gas fire service
- Checking the fire is burning correctly and safely
- A spillage test to make sure the flue or chimney is drawing properly
- Cleaning and checking the burner, and checking the coals, pebbles or logs are laid correctly
- Checking the safety devices, including the flame failure device and the oxygen depletion sensor where fitted
- Checking the room has the ventilation the fire needs
Gas fire repairs
We repair gas fires that:
- won't light, or won't stay lit
- click but don't ignite
- have a pilot light that keeps going out
- burn with yellow or sooty flames
- give off a smell when they're running
- have stiff or broken controls
Warning signs to look out for
Yellow or lazy flames, soot or staining above the fire, a pilot light that keeps going out, or lots of condensation in the room can all mean a fire isn't burning safely. Turn the fire off and get it checked. Every room with a gas fire should also have a working carbon monoxide alarm.
Old fires and back boilers
Some older gas fires, especially those with a back boiler behind them, can be costly to repair or may no longer be safe to use. We'll tell you honestly if a fire should be replaced, and we can safely disconnect and cap off a gas fire you no longer want.
