Getting My LPG Safety Certificate

Getting My LPG Safety Certificate

by cat
(essex)

hi, just starting out with a catering trailer and nearly there, but i am really having trouble finding someone to come and give me a safety check on my lpg appliances.

I have made about 30 phone calls, (they all have said they don't do catering trailers)..and I have had only 1 person (which was this morning) say they could possible do it, but it was £80 a appliance, I have 3.

i thought that was extremely expensive, ??? is it...??? has anyone else had a problem like this, or any info on how I could get it checked out, just need to make sure i have no leaks, thanx cat

It's Worth It As You Can Make Your Money Back
by: Anonymous

I do have to sympathize with you but unfortunately these are the rates for LPG inspections. You will need the certificate as more and more venues will require you to have this in order to trade legally and more to the point safely.

You will also have to have this inspection completed every year so make sure you include it in your budget each year.

It?s a pain I know, but they inspect your equipment very thoroughly and make sure that all your safety cut off valves work properly.

I paid £180 for mine when it was done, but you will easily make it back so consider it money well spent

For a Corgi registered engineer in your area call 01256 372 300 say you want a number of an engineer who specializes in LPG and Mobile Van/Trailers in your area they should be able to recommend someone locally for you.

These are the people I used to inspect my catering van based in London. The number is 0800 731 0397 they were not cheap at around £160-£180 pounds for the inspection.

Best of Luck Cat,

i needed a gas LPG engineer for a landlord safety cert that cost me £45, it goes up on the amount of items that need testing, so £180 is alot even for London
