Coverage
Areas we cover in Brighton and Hove for gas fires
Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

Do you provide gas fires across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
How often does a gas fire need servicing?
Annually, the same as a boiler, both for safety and to keep any manufacturer warranty valid.
Can any Gas Safe engineer install a gas fire?
No — an engineer needs to be registered specifically in the applicable gas fire category, not just boilers. You can check an engineer's registered categories on the Gas Safe Register website or their ID card.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
