Gas Fire Place Fitters around Manchester

[candlestick]

Howdo,

Me and Mrs Candlestick have spotted a new fireplace we like, but the 2 showrooms that we are considering buying from do not have their own installation teams.

Can anybody recommend a fitter who could install our new living room centre piece in the Manchester area. The installer would need to run a gas pipe from the adjoining room (but the 2 rooms are open plan) and put in a fireplace. The chimney has been checked and the flue is fine.

Suggestions anyone??

Hi Mr Candlestick,
We (the Mrs and I) live near Manchester - Bolton to be exact. We had a 'hole in the wall' gas fire fitted nearly 12 months ago - to replace a very old surface mounted fire.
The company that did the job was: Lee Spencer Fireplaces, their mobile is 07775 726 286 - They are based in Swinton.
They are quite rightly Gas Safe Registered (previously Corgi), but in any case YOU should also ensure that they still are registered.
Obviously, I am no expert, but in my opinion they did a good job, and cleaned up after themselves.
It might be worthwhile contacting them to see what can be done, and to get a quote etc.
I hope the above info helps,
Best wishes,
Bob.

Spot on, cheers Bob!! Swinton isn't far from us at all!! Out of interest, what kind of cost will we be looking at, if you don't mind me asking??

I have not got a clue Candlestick - I believe in our case the bill for labour and piping was about £500 - yes I know thats a lot of money but, in our case:
(1) the old fire had to be disconnected and removed, and
(2) rather a lot of brickwork had to be removed, thus making a 'hole' and
(3) new pipework had to be installed for the new fire.
I daresay they could give you a rough figure when they know what is invoved - I think they would probably have to visit you to suss everything out.
Sorry I cannot be more exact.

Bob.
