The notes set here are a guideline only and cover the most common situations. As all fireplaces are unique, special instructions may be needed following a site survey, which is required in all cases where Peace & Plenty are responsible for the fitting.

Before fitting you should make sure of the following:

• Chimney has been swept and unsuitable caps and cowls and old boiler flues removed.
• Any necessary electrical work has been carried out, such as moving power points and TV aerial cables from the firehole.
• Decoration preparation work has been carried out, though not the final decoration.
• Any replastering work has been done.
• Arrange for any gas pipe work and for the connection of gas fires to be carried out by a Gas Safe - registered plumber/gas fire fitter.

• Removing any existing normal sized fireplace.
• Making good the plasterwork around the fireplace - up to about 3 inches.
• Bagging up of rubbish and leaving by dustbins or within customers grounds, removal by the fitter is subject to an extra cost
• Redecoration, painting, refitting carpets or replacing skirtings are NOT the responsibility of the fitter.

• Peace & Plenty supply a range of gas coal-effect fires, but we do not offer a connection service.
• By law, gas fires must be connected and checked by a Gas Safe-registered gas fire fitter.
• Have your gas fire serviced annually.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas at the mains, do not switch on or off any electrical appliances, ventilate the area and contact the gas supplier.
• For your added peace of mind, install carbon monoxide detectors in your home. A wide range of these are available and can be supplied by Peace & Plenty.
