🔥 Gas Fire Service & Safety Checks 🔥
Today we attended a gas fire service where, during our initial visual inspection of the chimney, we discovered the cement seal around the pre-fabricated flue had deteriorated, becoming cracked and weak.
For safety and to maintain the integrity of the flue, we carefully removed the damaged cement and re-sealed the area with fresh cement. 👨🔧
As part of the service, we also fully cleaned the gas fire and carried out a flue flow test using smoke pellets to ensure the chimney was drawing correctly and operating safely. 💨🔥
While completing our gas safety checks, we identified that the Emergency Control Valve (ECV) was letting by. As safety is always our priority, we capped the supply and contacted Cadent immediately to investigate further.
This is why regular servicing and inspections are so important — issues like these can often go unnoticed until a thorough check is carried out.
