Another recommendation for Fernando. He arrived early each time he came, clear communication and worked very hard to trim hedges and clear up the garden and do some general maintenance. Cleared up very well after doing each job. Very nice guy as well and very reasonable rates.

Thanks for the advice - I found one who on his website looked like he was gas safe registered but when I phoned he said he was no longer registered. I've posted a job on mybuilder to find a gas safe engineer. Thank you.

Thanks, really appreciate your advice. I'm fairly certain that the chimney is open as when I stick my hand in I can feel a draught, but need to get a chimney sweep round to make sure it's not blocked (am considering putting in a wood burner instead), so will see if any chimney sweeps are capable of uninstalling this.

Hello, I have recently moved into a new home and the previous owner had this gas (I think) fire on the ground floor (see pics). The reason why I think it's gas is because there is a pipe (which feels metallic but I'm not 100% sure) connected through the skirting into the ground (I can't see what it leads to without lifting the floorboards). I had a play round with it but can't seem to get it to work (i.e. I tried pushing in the knob to ignition, then round to the bottom where the flame symbol is, but nothing happened). Is there anyone who knows how these things work and could recommend someone to come round to see if it can be fixed or replaced? Any advice gratefully welcomed. Thank you.
