Highlights
"Kevin was very knowledgeable, polite and professional. He installed the burner in good time and offered plenty of helpful information. I would 100% recommend KAL fireplaces"
"Kevin arrived to fit our new Gazco emotiv 64 electric fire. He was very efficient and did not stop for breaks. He took away old gas fire and capped gas supply. Left everything clean and tidy. Did a very good job."
"Our experience using KAL for our wood burner installation was excellent from start to finish. We had an outdated gas fire and Kevin ran through all the options to suit our budget. Kevin arrived on time and after taking out the old fireplace we found out that the existing structure was not good enough. Kevin was very cautious and we installed additional brickwork with more structure. After this was done the install was done in a day and now transformed our living room. Highly recommend with a great deal of care given to the install."

Gas work is restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. If they'll touch a boiler or any gas appliance, confirm they're currently on the register before you hire - it's free and takes a minute.

Smart checks
Before you hire a gas engineer
By law, anyone working on your gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register — ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the licence number at gassaferegister.co.uk before they start.
Never let an unregistered person touch your gas: unsafe gas work risks carbon monoxide poisoning, fire and explosion, and is a criminal offence.
For a boiler or appliance install, get the work and price in writing and keep the Gas Safe / Building Regulations certificate they are required to give you.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time — not only the quality of the work.
