Beyond Decommissioning: Chimney & Ventilation Considerations

When decommissioning a gas fire, it's also important to consider the chimney and ventilation. In some cases, the chimney may need to be capped off to prevent drafts and debris from entering your home. We can assess your chimney and ventilation and advise on the best course of action to ensure your home remains safe and energy-efficient.

Avoiding DIY Gas Fire Removal: Risks You Should Know

Attempting to remove a gas fire yourself can be extremely dangerous. Gas leaks, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning are all potential risks. It's simply not worth the risk to save a few pounds. Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer like Preferred Gas for any gas work, including decommissioning. We provide a professional, safe service for homeowners in Richmond and across the North East.
