Has anyone installed a gas fireplace? Post Reply

Any tips? Is anyone able to recommend a good company?
Thank you

Hi
Some friends of mine used a company by the one way system in Wandsworth.

They went for a very modern design and love it.

Can't remember their name but as you come around the system they are opposite the classic car garage.

Hope that helps!

We used Stonewoods who are in Wandsworth on the big one way system and we are were very pleased with their service and seemed reasonably priced.

I used a gentleman named John Meddings based on a recommendation. I couldn't fault the guy - he knew his stuff, did a great job, left the place spotless and gave by far the most competitive price for fitting my new gas fireplace. His email is jonfireone@me.com

Thank you very much. I shall investigate these options.

Only piece of advice is that we installed one last year, and when asked if we wanted a remote controlled one shrugged it off as over the top. The massive downside of our manual coal effect gas fire is that the ignition switch is hard to reach under the front and you can easily burn yourself on the grate above when switching it off....in hindsight would definitely go remote controlled in future!

That is really useful to know! Many thanks.
I've heard some people say that they are really expensive to run. Is that right?

Sorry, I've no clue what difference it makes specifically on the gas usage. Good luck!
