Are there any sites which oultine a generic sequence for (safe) servicing of
gas fires?
I have a Kinder Nevada with a defective ignitor (push button piezo type)
which I intend to replace.
I have a manual for the fire, but am looking for advice cleaning of
internals, flue checking procedure etc.

TIA

Phil

I suggest you buy a book on gas fitting or get someone in who knows what
they are doing.

Yes I already have a couple of books on heating and gas by Ed Treloar
(titles have slipped my mind just now).
Will start by revisiting those.
With jobs involving gas/lekky I don't think you can have too many points of
reference though.

Why don't you read up on the procedures in BS 5440-1 Section 5.3 and 5.4

The pellets and matches are available at plumbers' merchants and online.
