Signs you need gas appliance installation & repairs
You smell gas or suspect a leak
If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply at the meter, open windows and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Never attempt to repair a gas leak yourself.
A gas appliance is not working properly
A gas fire that will not ignite, a cooker with an uneven flame or a water heater that cuts out are all signs of a fault that needs a Gas Safe registered engineer to diagnose and repair.
You are buying a new gas appliance
Any new gas fire, cooker, hob or water heater must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. DIY installation is illegal and invalidates your home insurance.
Yellow or lazy flame on a gas appliance
A healthy gas flame is crisp and blue. A yellow, orange or lazy flame indicates incomplete combustion, which can produce carbon monoxide. Turn off the appliance and call us.
You have had a new kitchen or fireplace fitted
When renovating a kitchen or fireplace, gas appliances often need disconnecting and reconnecting. This must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure safe operation.

What affects the cost of gas appliance installation & repairs
We believe in transparent pricing. Here are the factors that influence the cost of your job.
Type of appliance
A gas hob swap is quicker and more affordable than installing a gas fire with a new flue. Cookers and water heaters fall in between. We provide a clear quote after assessing the job.
Pipework requirements
If new gas pipework is needed to reach the appliance location, this adds to the cost. We assess the existing pipework during the survey and explain any additional work.
Flue and ventilation
Gas fires require a suitable flue and adequate ventilation. If your existing flue is not compatible with the new appliance, a new flue liner or ventilation upgrade may be needed.
Disconnection of old appliances
Safely disconnecting and removing an old gas appliance adds time to the job. We include this in the quote so there are no surprise charges.
Every job is different, so we always provide a free, no obligation quote before any work begins. Call us on 07391 779 712 or fill in our contact form to arrange your estimate.
