Do you provide gas fires across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14, ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
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.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
