Choose Experienced, Local Gas Safe Engineers in the North East
When it comes to gas safety, expertise matters. Our engineers at Preferred Gas are not only Gas Safe registered – a legal requirement for anyone working on gas appliances – but they are also experienced professionals familiar with the types of properties and gas fire installations found throughout the North East. We're a Registered Limited Company with ISO 9001 and ISO 7001 certifications, plus Safe Contractor approval, demonstrating our commitment to quality and safety standards.

Signs Your Flue or Ventilation Might Have a Problem
While an annual check is recommended even if you don't see any issues, certain signs mean you shouldn't delay calling us. Look out for staining or scorching around the gas fire or on the wall above it. A yellow or orange flame instead of a crisp blue one can indicate incomplete combustion (though check your manual, some modern fires have deliberate visual effects). You might notice more condensation on windows in the room. If you ever experience headaches, nausea, or dizziness when the fire is on, turn it off immediately, ventilate the room, and call a Gas Safe engineer or the gas emergency line.
Serving Landlords and Homeowners Across the North East
Whether you're a homeowner enjoying your gas fire or a landlord responsible for tenants' safety, regular flue and ventilation inspections are key.

It helps ensure your properties are safe and compliant. For any homeowner in the NE, SR, DH, TS, or DL postcodes, getting this check done provides essential peace of mind, knowing your fire is operating safely. It's an investment in safety, not just another bill.
What Our Gas Fire Flue & Ventilation Check Involves
When a Gas Safe registered engineer from Preferred Gas visits your home in the North East, they'll carry out a thorough check. This isn't a quick glance; it's a detailed assessment. We'll visually inspect the flue system from the appliance connection all the way to the terminal outside your home (chimney pot or wall vent). We'll check for blockages, correct size and type, condition, and signs of leaks. We'll also assess the ventilation in the room, ensuring there's adequate airflow for the gas fire to breathe and safely expel gases. We use specialist equipment where necessary to confirm everything is working as it should.
Our Gas Fire Flue & Ventilation Safety Checks Include:
- Comprehensive visual inspection of the entire flue system and chimney.
- Checks for blockages, obstructions, and integrity of the flue lining.
- Assessment of flue termination and its compliance with safety standards.
- Verification of adequate ventilation for your specific gas fire and room size.
- Spillage tests to ensure harmful gases are being safely expelled.
- Clear advice on any findings and necessary remedial actions for optimal safety in your North East home.

Why Flue and Ventilation Inspections are Non-Negotiable
Poor or blocked flues and inadequate ventilation are silent hazards. The biggest danger is carbon monoxide (CO), a toxic gas produced when gas doesn't burn completely. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it. Symptoms are often mistaken for flu or a cold. A professional inspection checks that your flue is clear and correctly installed, allowing gases to escape safely, and that your room has enough ventilation for the fire to operate efficiently and safely. It's a fundamental step in ensuring your gas fire doesn't become a danger.
