How to replace a very old gas fireplace?
i have a old fashioned gas fireplace in my lounge-like the one your granny would have had. Its not working and as far as I know it was disconnected.
I want to get rid of it and get a new fireplace for show only. This current one is very unsightly. I am assuming I would need a CORGI gas installer to come round and get rid of it for me.
Is this right? And how much would it cost?
Thanks in advance.
You don't need a Corgi installer to do the work for you, even if the fireplace is still connected (which is very unlikely) all you have to do is to make sure the gas is turned off at the mains and you can do it yourself or have someone do it for you.
I've done it myself in an old house that I bought many moons ago.
EDIT: It doesn't matter how many leaks there are in the old fire or the pipework to it, if it's shut off at the mains you will be quite safe.
