FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional gas fire servicing and repairs in Wolverhampton & West Midlands and the West Midlands.

Why Choose Fact Services?

+

Choosing a company to work on your gas appliances requires trust. We have built our reputation in the West Midlands on being honest, technically proficient, and fair with our pricing. Here is why homeowners choose us:

  • Fully Accredited: We are Gas Safe Registered (149167) and officially accredited by major manufacturers like Worcester and Bosch. This means we know the specific quirks and requirements of almost every fire on the market.
  • Comprehensive Insurance: We hold full Public Liability Insurance, giving you complete protection while we are working in your home.
  • Technical Expertise: We don't just "have a go." We use high-end diagnostic tools, including thermal imaging where necessary, to find leaks and efficiency losses that other firms might miss.
  • Clear Communication: We don't use confusing jargon. We explain what is wrong, why it needs fixing, and what the cost will be before we start any repair work.
  • Clean and Tidy: We know that a fireplace is often the centrepiece of a decorated room. We use protective sheets and professional cleaning equipment to make sure we leave your home exactly as we found it.

How often should I have my gas fire serviced?

+

You should have your gas fire serviced at least once every 12 months. This ensures that any build-up of soot or debris is cleared before the heavy usage of winter starts. Regular servicing is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty as well.

What are the signs that my gas fire needs a repair?

+

If the pilot light keeps going out, the flame looks yellow or floppy instead of crisp and blue, or if you see dark soot marks on the wall above the fire, you should call an engineer immediately. Other signs include a strange smell when the fire is on or the glass becoming excessively cloudy.

Is a gas fire service the same as a boiler service?

+

While the safety principles are similar, the components are quite different. A gas fire service focuses heavily on the "flue pull" and the aeration of the burner to ensure no carbon monoxide is entering the room. We recommend getting both done at the same time to save on call-out fees.

Can you fix a gas fire that won't light?

+

Yes, this is one of our most common repair requests. It is often caused by a blocked pilot injector or a faulty thermocouple (the safety sensor that tells the gas to stay on). We can usually diagnose and fix these issues in a single visit.

How long does a gas fire service take?

+

A thorough service usually takes between 45 minutes and an hour. If repairs are needed, it may take longer, but we will always keep you informed of the timeline.
