Need gas fire installation in Colne? Our Gas Safe registered engineers cover BB8 from our Burnley base. New gas fire fitted by a Gas Safe engineer — inset living-flame, outset, glass-fronted balanced-flue, wall-hung and flueless fires. We survey your chimney or flue, carry out smoke and spillage tests, check ventilation, remove the old fire or back boiler if needed and fit a carbon monoxide alarm.
For gas fire installation in BB8.
Colne sits at the eastern edge of our patch — a 20-minute run from Burnley HQ, but well worth it because BB8 is one of those areas where reliable Gas Safe engineers are hard to find. We cover the town itself plus the more rural villages of Foulridge, Trawden, Laneshawbridge and Cottontree.
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 Colne 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 BB8 and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Yes — many older Colne 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 Colne 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.
