Gas Fire Service & Repair in Manchester, done properly.
Manchester is a big city and we focus on the northern and eastern districts that are most accessible from our Burnley base via the M66/A56 — typically a 35–50 minute run. We cover Prestwich, Crumpsall, Cheetham Hill, Newton Heath, Moston, Harpurhey, Failsworth and out to Droylsden.
Gas fires sit in the room you relax in, so they must burn cleanly. Over time, dust, fallen debris in the chimney, misplaced coals and worn parts can cause incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide. Manufacturers recommend a service every 12 months — and landlords are legally required to have every gas fire checked each year as part of the CP12.
Every gas fire servicing job in Manchester 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.

Typical gas fire servicing jobs around Manchester
Sooting above the fire (M1–M22)
Black marks forming above a living-flame fire in M1–M22. Coals had been moved after cleaning, blocking the burner. Re-laid them to the manufacturer pattern, cleaned the burner and passed the spillage test.
Annual service with the boiler
