Contact Jake with the intended make/model, details of the current fire and photos of the fireplace. If you are still choosing a fire, an early discussion can help establish what needs checking before purchase.

- Review of the proposed fireplace and flue arrangement
Choosing a fire for the setting
Do not select a fire solely because it fits the opening. The manufacturer’s requirements and the property’s flue arrangement must be considered. Explain any previous problems or changes to the fireplace.
If the chimney or flue has been altered or has not been used for a long time, mention it at the outset. The enquiry may need further investigation before installation can be quoted.
Agree the surrounding work
Fireplace alteration, building work and decorative finishing should be discussed separately from the gas installation. Clarify which parts you need and who will carry them out.
A replacement enquiry should also state whether the old fire remains connected and whether it is working. Avoid removing or disturbing the appliance yourself.
What to include in your enquiry
- Proposed and existing fire make/model
- Photos of the fire, opening and surrounding room
- Any known chimney or flue history
- Details of fireplace, hearth or building alterations
Your questions answered
Can any gas fire fit my fireplace?
No assumption should be made from the opening size alone. The appliance and flue requirements need to be checked.
Can you remove an old gas fire?
Include removal and disconnection in the enquiry so the scope can be discussed.
Is this also the page for a fire that will not light?
For an existing fault, use the gas fire servicing and repairs page and describe the symptoms.
