help broken gas fire

Hi I am new to the site and need some advice. My gas fire has faulty ignition and I rang British Gas who told me they charge £168 for repairs regardless of problem. Can anyone suggest cheaper corgi registered repairers in the Manchester area? I hope it is ok to ask this.

    Use yell.com and phone a few corgi guys near you. Or go on the Corgi website to find one. Get several quotes. If it's just a standard ignition fault, can't see it being more than £40-50 or so. That's what ours was roughly when it borked.
  • Thanks for that DNK, I'll try it.

    As above, use the corgi website. Not all gas men are qualified to work with gas fires - many only have the certification to do boilers and cookers.
