What Does Gas Fire Servicing Involve?
Gas fire servicing covers the annual inspection, maintenance and safety testing of all types of domestic gas fires — including conventional open-flue gas fires, balanced flue gas fires, inset gas fires, freestanding gas stoves, and flueless gas fires (where installed in accordance with building regulations). Landlord gas safety compliance requires annual gas fire checks). A gas fire service should be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer at least once every 12 months to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Kamdem HomeTech's Gas Safe engineers carry out gas fire servicing that includes: visual inspection of the fire body, burner, and controls; inspection and testing of the flue or balanced flue for correct operation; combustion analysis where appropriate; cleaning of the burner, pilot assembly and gas controls; check for signs of deterioration or damage to refractory components (coals, logs, pebbles); safety control testing (flame supervision device, overheat protection); and a written service record on completion.
Gas fire repairs are also carried out following diagnosis — including pilot assembly replacement, valve and control unit replacement, thermocouple replacement, and ignition system repair. We advise honestly on whether a gas fire is economically repairable or has reached end of life — recommending replacement only when it is genuinely the right course of action.
What Happens When You Delay?
An unserviced gas fire accumulates combustion deposits on the burner, pilot assembly and flue, reducing efficiency and — in the worst case — causing incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide production. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless: without a working CO alarm, it is undetectable until symptoms of exposure develop. Gas fires are a significant source of carbon monoxide incidents in UK homes, almost all of which are attributable to lack of maintenance and faulty flues.
In addition to safety risk, an unserviced gas fire operates at reduced efficiency and increased gas consumption. A partially blocked flue or deteriorating burner can increase the cost of running the fire by 20–30% per year. Annual servicing costs a fraction of this wasted expenditure and provides documented evidence of maintenance for your home insurer. Ensure your gas fire is serviced before using it this winter.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a gas fire be serviced?
At least once a year. Gas fire manufacturers and Gas Safe recommend annual servicing for all gas fires regardless of how frequently they are used.
Can a gas fire produce carbon monoxide?
Yes. A poorly maintained or faulty gas fire can produce carbon monoxide, particularly if the flue is blocked or the combustion is incomplete. Always fit a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a gas fire. Annual servicing minimises this risk.
What types of gas fire do you service?
We service all common types of domestic gas fire, including: conventional open-flue gas fires, balanced-flue gas fires, inset gas fires, gas stoves and freestanding gas fires, and flueless gas fires (where installed compliantly).
My gas fire is not igniting — can you repair it?
Yes. Ignition failures are one of the most common gas fire faults. Common causes include a faulty thermocouple, a blocked pilot assembly, or a failed electronic ignition system. Most ignition faults can be diagnosed and repaired in a single visit.
How long does a gas fire service take?
A standard gas fire service takes 45–90 minutes. More complex gas fires or those requiring additional cleaning or component replacement may take longer.
Is it worth repairing an old gas fire or should I replace it?
It depends on the age, the cost of the repair, and the availability of parts. Our engineers will give you an honest assessment and never recommend replacement unless the repair cost is disproportionate to the fire's remaining useful life.
Do you need to check the flue when servicing a gas fire?
Yes. Flue inspection is an integral part of every gas fire service. A blocked, damaged or inadequate flue is a serious safety hazard that can result in carbon monoxide entering the living space.
Can you service a gas fire in a rental property?
Yes. Gas fire servicing for rental properties is included as part of landlord gas safety obligations. All gas appliances in a rental property — including gas fires — must be inspected annually as part of the CP12 inspection.
