Fire and Back Boiler Servicing Linthorpe
Servicing enquiries for suitable fire and back boiler systems in Linthorpe.
Servicing an older combined system
Fire and back boiler systems are older combined installations, so servicing suitability depends on the exact appliance and condition rather than a generic package. The make and model are useful when asking whether the work can be taken on.
For a standalone gas fire, see gas fire servicing. For a conventional boiler, use boiler servicing. For an actual fault, see fire and back boiler repair.

Gas Safety Advice
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas or suspect a gas escape, turn off the gas at the emergency control valve if safe to do so, ventilate the property, avoid using electrical switches or naked flames, leave the property if necessary and call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999.
What does a gas leak smell like?
Natural gas is odourless, but an odourant is added so leaks are easier to detect. It is commonly described as a strong sulphur or rotten-egg smell. Carbon monoxide is different: it has no smell, colour or taste, so a working carbon monoxide alarm is important around fuel-burning appliances.
Who should check a suspected gas leak?
If you suspect an active gas escape, contact the National Gas Emergency Service first on 0800 111 999 and follow their instructions. Once the immediate situation has been made safe, a Gas Safe registered engineer can inspect or repair an affected gas appliance where further work is required. MP Heating Services can help with suitable gas-appliance work within our registered scope.
