Gas Fire Servicing and Repair
At Bespoke Fire Co, as well as being installers of gas fires we are able to service, repair and commission gas fire installations. Our gas engineers are Gas Safe Registered.
It is recommended that gas appliances should be serviced on an annual basis.
Our services include:
- Gas Fire Breakdowns, e.g. Pilot lighting problems etc
- Gas Fire servicing - (which should be carried out on an annual basis. We offer the facility to contact you on an annual basis to remind that the appliance is due for a service.
- Flue Flow Tests and Spillage tests)
- Landlord safety certificates (CP12)
- Replacement parts and toppings (our engineers carry a variety of spare parts for Nu-Flame and Multiglow fires)
We also offer the service to sweep the chimney at the same time which you will find many other gas fitters do not. We cover London, Greater London and Home Counties.
3 Reasons to get your Gas Fire Serviced
1. Safety - We need to meticulously check every aspect of your gas fire and make sure it's 100% safe with no risks. Carbon monoxide leaking and other problems can be serious health issues.
2. Maintenance - A properly maintained gas fire is less likely to need costly repairs in future and should have a longer life. One of our gas fire services can potentially save you a fortune in the future.
3. Efficiency - We need to check that no gas is being wasted, and that gas fire is working at its optimum intensity

Landlords you are required to:
- ensure gas fittings and flues are maintained in a safe condition. Gas appliances should be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. If these are not available it is recommended that they are serviced annually unless advised otherwise by a Gas Safe registered engineer;
- ensure an annual safety check is carried out on each gas appliance/flue. Before any new lease starts, you must make sure that these checks have been carried out within one year before the start of the lease date, unless the appliances in the property have been installed for less than 12 months, in which case they should be checked within 12 months of their installation date;
- have all installation, maintenance and safety checks carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- keep a record of each safety check for at least two years;
- issue a copy of the latest safety check record to existing tenants within 28 days of the check being completed, or to any new tenant before they move in (in certain cases there is an option to display the record).
The Regulations specify the gas safety matters to be covered. You should not assume that an annual service inspection meets the safety check requirement, or that a safety check will, on its own, be sufficient to provide effective maintenance. Ask the advice of a Gas Safe registered engineer where necessary.
