My gas fire (an old one) is acting up. It works fine on "low" for hours
at a time, however whenever I turn it up, the flames stay at the same
level as "low" and after about 15-30 seconds, the fire turns itself off
completely.
Anyone any ideas?

cheers,

When trying on its high setting...turn it off fully then ignite it on the
first two inner bricks then push the igniter down again keeping it held
down and turn it to the full setting?

If not then turn off the gas and reomove the bricks and clean with a brush
and some puff :-) and get the hoover on the burner where the bricks sit.
