MissGobby   10 #1 Posted October 17, 2008 We are hopefully getting the keys to our new home in the next couple of weeks, but there is no gas fire in the living room, we are looking to buy one but are on a budget, does anyone know of any gas fire showrooms which are not too expensive?  thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
big_g   10 #2 Posted October 17, 2008 I can't think of where to buy a fire just now but do make sure that the chimney is sound and that there is a gas point before forking out on a fire. A new flue liner in a bog standard semi is about £300 if your chimeny if duff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ousetunes   10 #5 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm trying to get rid of a Yeoman Stove gas fire (with flue). It's in superb condition and looks beautiful when working. We replaced it with the Real Thing last year.  Make me an offer - you never know, I might not refuse!  PM me if interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

chinaski   10 #7 Posted October 17, 2008 Don't go to a showroom full stop. Get a plumber who knows the biz (jl?) and I'm sure they'll tell you what the best value option is to take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
H.P Â Â 10 #8 Posted October 18, 2008 gas flair on leppings lane, Â remember nothing is cheap now a days .. Â you get what you pay for .. b&q sell them but have a good look before you buy many are very cheaply made and they wont stand the test of time. Â I'd stay well clear of them, we had a gas cooker off them last year. Needless to say TRANSCO capped it off on boxing day and riddor'd it. Chap from transco said it was one of the worst and most unsafe fits he had ever seen, and on complaining to the head office it turned out the fitter had overcharged me by 50 percent. B.R.S further down Leppings lane are much better, we have had a couple of gas fires and surrounds installed by them, fitters are much better, never had an issue with the gas after they had been.
