Why You Might Need Your Gas Fire Decommissioned
There are several reasons homeowners and landlords in the North East choose to decommission a gas fire. Perhaps you're upgrading to a modern, energy-efficient model, or maybe you fancy a change to an electric fire, a traditional wood-burning stove, or even just want to brick up the fireplace completely for a fresh look. Sometimes, older fires might not be operating efficiently or safely, and removal is the best option. Whatever your reason, freeing up that space safely requires expert handling of the gas supply.

The Risks of Improper Gas Fire Removal
Working with gas is inherently risky. An improperly decommissioned gas fire can lead to dangerous gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, or even explosions. It's vital that any work involving gas appliances and pipework is carried out by a qualified, Gas Safe registered engineer. They have the training, tools, and legal authority to ensure the gas supply is isolated, capped off correctly, and tested for safety, giving you complete peace of mind once the fire is removed.
Our Professional Gas Fire Decommissioning Process
When you call Preferred Gas to decommission your gas fire, you can expect a straightforward and safe process. Our Gas Safe engineer will visit your property, first inspecting the gas fire and the surrounding area. They will then safely isolate the gas supply to the fire, ensuring no gas can flow to the appliance. The fire itself will be carefully disconnected and removed. Crucially, the gas pipework will be capped off securely and tested to guarantee there are no leaks. We'll always leave the area tidy and provide you with confirmation that the work has been completed safely and to the required standards.

For safety, efficiency, and to maintain your manufacturer's warranty, we strongly recommend servicing your boiler annually. Regular servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer, like those at Preferred Gas, helps prevent breakdowns, ensures safe operation, and keeps your boiler running efficiently, potentially saving you money on energy bills. It's a vital check for homeowners and a legal requirement for landlords (as part of the Gas Safety Certificate).
Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. All Preferred Gas engineers who work on gas appliances are fully qualified and registered with the Gas Safe Register. You can always ask to see their Gas Safe ID card for peace of mind. Working with unregistered fitters is illegal and extremely dangerous.

What Happens After Decommissioning?
Once your gas fire is safely removed, you have options.
