Gas services

Gas work must only be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and only on the types of appliance their registration covers. GasStar carries out gas work on the categories listed on our Gas Safe ID card.

Our Gas Safe work categories:

Gas work we can help with

• Gas safety checks on your gas appliances, flues and ventilation
• Gas appliance installation, such as connecting a gas cooker or hob
• Gas appliance repairs and fault finding
• Gas pipework: new runs, alterations and capping off

Warning signs on gas appliances

Get a gas appliance checked if you notice any of these:

• Lazy yellow or orange flames instead of crisp blue ones
• Black, sooty marks or staining on or around the appliance
• A pilot light that keeps going out
• More condensation than usual on windows in the room

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas you can’t see, smell or taste. It can be produced by gas appliances that are badly fitted, poorly maintained or not properly ventilated. Symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, breathlessness and tiredness, and they often ease when you leave the house.

Fit an audible carbon monoxide alarm in rooms with a fuel-burning appliance, and test it regularly. If you suspect CO, turn off appliances, open windows, get everyone outside, call 0800 111 999 and seek medical help.
