New gas fire fitted by a Gas Safe engineer — inset living-flame, outset, glass-fronted balanced-flue, wall-hung and flueless fires.

For gas fire installation in BB1, BB2.
Blackburn is one of our busiest patches — a 30-minute run down the M65 — and we run multiple jobs here every week. The town splits into BB1 (the eastern, more terraced half) and BB2 (the western, leafier half toward Pleasington and Mellor), with very different boiler patterns in each.
Modern gas fires are far more efficient than the old radiant fires and back-boiler units still found in many Lancashire terraces — glass-fronted models reach 80–90% efficiency compared with around 20–50% for a traditional open-fronted fire. The most important part of any install is the flue: every fire we fit is surveyed and smoke/spillage tested so fumes go up the chimney, not into your lounge.
Every gas fire installation job in Blackburn is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer (No. 305612), priced upfront and backed by our 12-month workmanship warranty. Call 01282 914 044 or message us on WhatsApp.

It depends on the fire, your chimney or flue and whether an old fire or back boiler needs removing. We do a free survey anywhere in BB1, BB2 and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Yes — many older Blackburn terraces still have a back boiler behind the gas fire. We remove it, fit a modern combi elsewhere and fit a new fire, or open up the fireplace if you prefer.
We test every chimney before connecting a fire. If it fails, options include sweeping, a flue liner, a balanced-flue fire through an outside wall or a flueless fire with the right ventilation.
We cover Blackburn same-day in most cases from our Burnley base. Surveys are usually within a few days, and most fires are fitted in a single day.
Gazco, Flavel, Valor, Legend, Crystal, Kinder, Be Modern and most UK brands — or we can fit a fire you have already bought if it suits your chimney or flue.
