Fire and Back Boiler Servicing Middlesbrough
Servicing enquiries for suitable gas fire and back boiler systems in Middlesbrough, subject to availability and appliance scope.
Older fire and back boiler systems
Fire and back boiler systems need to be considered as a combined installation. Suitability for servicing depends on the appliance, condition and the work required, so it is useful to provide the make and model where known when you enquire.
For a standalone gas fire, see gas fire servicing in Middlesbrough. For a conventional boiler without a fire/back-boiler arrangement, see boiler servicing.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Can every fire and back boiler system still be serviced?
Not necessarily. Suitability depends on the appliance, its condition, access, parts and whether the required work falls within the relevant service scope.
What details should I provide when I enquire?
The make and model of the fire and back boiler, any known fault or servicing history, and clear photos of the appliance where practical can help assess the enquiry.

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.
