Gas Fire Repair Services

Common gas fire faults we diagnose and repair.

Gas Fire Not Lighting

If your gas fire will not light or the pilot light keeps going out the cause could be a faulty thermocouple, blocked pilot jet, failed ignition unit or gas supply issue.

Yellow or Sooting Flame

A yellow flame or soot on your gas fire indicates incomplete combustion. This can produce carbon monoxide and is potentially dangerous. The fire needs immediate inspection.

Gas Fire Cutting Out

If your gas fire lights but then cuts out after a few minutes the cause could be a failing thermocouple, blocked flue, ventilation issue or faulty gas valve.

Remote Control Not Working

If the remote control for your gas fire has stopped working we can diagnose whether the fault is the remote, the receiver unit, the batteries or the control board.

Unusual Smell from Gas Fire

If you notice an unusual smell from your gas fire it may be unburnt gas, combustion products entering the room or dust burning off. Turn the fire off and call us.

Gas Fire Repair FAQs

Common questions about gas fire repairs

Why is my gas fire not lighting?

The most common causes are a failed thermocouple, blocked pilot jet, faulty ignition electrode, dead batteries in the ignition or remote, a tripped safety device or a gas supply issue. A Gas Safe engineer can diagnose the cause.

Is a yellow flame on my gas fire dangerous?

Yes. A gas fire flame should be blue with yellow tips. A predominantly yellow or orange flame indicates incomplete combustion which can produce carbon monoxide. Turn the fire off and have it inspected.

Why does my gas fire keep cutting out?

A gas fire that cuts out after lighting is usually caused by a failing thermocouple, blocked flue or ventilation issue, faulty gas valve or a safety device tripping. It needs professional diagnosis.

How often should a gas fire be serviced?

We recommend a gas fire is serviced every 12 months. A service includes cleaning the burner and ceramics, checking the flue, testing safety devices and checking combustion. This keeps your fire safe and efficient.
