Overhead grills, salamanders and finishing grills
LPG Overhead Grill Safety Certificate
Request an LPG inspection for a gas-fired overhead grill or salamander and its agreed supply. Send the make, model, data plate, instructions, mounting, burner and radiant layout, gas type and pressure, complete supply, installation photos, operating condition, extraction, postcode and deadline so the right catering-appliance route can be checked.
Confirm top-down heating before choosing the route
An LPG grill record follows the complete appliance and installation
This page is for an overhead gas-fired grill, salamander or finishing grill that heats from above. Wall-mounted, bench-mounted, freestanding and range-integrated models can have different access, clearances and gas arrangements, so the data plate, burner and radiant layout, mounting, setting and complete fuel path must be identified before the required competence and scope can be matched.
Different grill settings need different routes
Who this LPG grill page is for
Food trucks, trailers and converted units
Operators with an overhead grill in a mobile setup where cylinders, regulator, pipework, restraint, mounting, ventilation, travel and every connected appliance must be declared.
Stalls, marquees and temporary pitches
Grills used at markets, festivals, sporting events or managed pitches with a defined gas rig, safe mounting, organiser paperwork and trading deadline.
Restaurants, takeaways and hospitality sites
Fixed overhead grills and salamanders where extraction, make-up air, flueing or interlocking where applicable, appliance access and the wider commercial catering installation affect the visit.
The grill, mounting and complete fuel path define the visit
What an LPG grill quote and inspection may need to cover
The team needs the grill specification, mounting or integration, burner and radiant layout, current condition, complete gas supply, setting, extraction and ventilation before matching an engineer and inspection scope.
Good evidence prevents the wrong visit

Official guidance behind the booking questions
Why gas maintenance, ventilation and mobile setup matter
These official sources explain the catering-gas, ventilation and mobile-LPG context behind the evidence requested before a grill visit.
Separate three commonly confused cooking routes
Which LPG grill route fits the equipment?
Food is positioned below gas burners and radiants, with heat directed from above. Mounting, clearances and extraction are part of the installation evidence.
A chargrill normally uses open bars above the heat source, while a griddle uses a solid heated plate. Each has a separate appliance route.
Outdoor barbecue use and a grill section forming part of a complete cooker or range need their own setting and whole-appliance scope.
The outcome follows the evidence and accessible findings
Possible LPG grill inspection outcomes
The outcome follows the identified grill, manufacturer evidence, mounting, complete supply, operating condition, installation, testing and safety findings rather than the certificate label used in the enquiry.
Possible next steps
- Appropriate record for the completed LPG scope
- Manufacturer, mounting, conversion or service evidence requested
- Separate fault diagnosis or wider mobile-catering route required
- Control, burner, connection, regulator or ventilation work quoted
- Unsafe equipment isolated or taken out of use as appropriate
- Return attendance after remedial work

LPG overhead-grill coverage
Priority locations
London, Essex and Kent are the priority areas for regular LPG overhead-grill enquiries. Send the inspection postcode and say whether the grill is wall-mounted, on a bench or built into a cooker or range.
Other covered counties
Hertfordshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Sussex are also covered. Tell us who controls kitchen access and whether the grill, its isolation point or extraction controls are difficult to reach.
Enquiries elsewhere in the UK
Other UK areas are considered by request. Include the unit or premises location, whole-appliance details and required date so travel and the engineer requirements can be assessed before an inspection slot is agreed.
Attendance depends on postcode, installation, access, travel and availability of an appropriately qualified engineer. Please flag trading hours, venue permissions, loading or parking restrictions and access to the mounted appliance and gas supply. Access arrangements and the inspection scope must be agreed before attendance is confirmed.

LPG grill safety certificate FAQs
What is an LPG grill safety certificate?
It is the appropriate gas-safety record for the agreed checks completed on a genuinely LPG-fired overhead grill or salamander and the stated parts of its gas supply. The record and scope depend on the appliance, installation, business use and wording requested by a venue, organiser, insurer, local authority or other dutyholder.
Is an overhead grill the same as a chargrill, griddle or barbecue?
No. An overhead grill or salamander heats food from above. A chargrill normally cooks on open bars above burners or radiants, a griddle uses a solid heated plate, and a barbecue is a different appliance and setting. Send the data plate, control layout and whole-appliance photos so the correct route is quoted.
Can a wall-mounted, bench-mounted or integrated gas grill be inspected?
Each can be considered, but the mounting, appliance identity and installation must be declared. Send photos showing fixings, stability, surrounding surfaces, clearances, access, gas connection, isolation, extraction and ventilation. If the grill is part of a cooker or range, identify and photograph the complete appliance rather than treating the grill section as independent.
Is an LPG grill certificate the same as a CP44 mobile-catering check?
Not necessarily. A grill record can document the agreed checks on that appliance and supply. A mobile-catering or CP44-type request can cover the wider installation, including every declared appliance, cylinders, regulator, pipework, ventilation and unit setting. Forward the exact organiser or insurer wording so the broader route can be chosen where required.
Can the grill and other LPG appliances be checked together?
Yes, as an enquiry, but list every appliance sharing the cylinders, regulator, changeover equipment or pipework. A grill in a van, trailer, stall or commercial kitchen cannot be scoped honestly if fryers, ovens, water heaters or other connected branches are omitted. A wider mobile-catering or commercial LPG route may be needed.
What details should I send for an LPG grill quote?
Send the full postcode and business setting, grill make, model, serial and data plate, manufacturer instructions, LPG type and pressure, burner and radiant arrangement, mounting or integration, cylinder or bulk supply, regulator, hoses, pipework and isolation, current operating condition, extraction and ventilation, installation and conversion history, other appliances, access, photos and exact deadline or requester wording.
What may an LPG grill inspection include?
The agreed scope may include appliance identification and suitability, mounting and installation, gas tightness, operating pressure, hoses and connections, isolation, ignition, burners, radiants, flame supervision and controls where relevant, combustion or safe-operation checks, flueing, ventilation, extraction and the relevant accessible LPG supply. The engineer confirms the checks appropriate to the grill and setting.
Can an imported, converted or second-hand LPG grill be inspected?
It can be considered as an enquiry, but an inspection cannot validate an unsupported fuel change. Send the grill's complete data plate and instructions, manufacturer evidence for the stated LPG type and pressure, approved conversion-part details, installer or commissioning records and photos of the burner, radiant and mounting arrangement. If the grill is integrated into a cooker or range, the evidence must identify the complete appliance. Unverified injectors, concealed alterations or missing model information may need investigation or correction first.
Will a certificate be issued on the first visit and how much will it cost?
Agree whether the inspection covers the overhead grill alone, a complete cooker or range, or the wider catering installation. The record should describe completed checks, findings and limitations, including defects or checks that could not be completed. A satisfactory result cannot be promised before inspection. Confirm the paperwork your venue or organiser needs and how it will be supplied. Cost depends on the model, mounting and access, burner layout, LPG supply, other appliances, extraction arrangements, postcode and deadline. Ask for servicing, cleaning and repairs to be identified separately from the inspection price, with any diagnosis, parts, travel, VAT and repeat-attendance charges explained before booking.
Which areas do you cover for LPG grill enquiries?
We prioritise London, Essex and Kent for regular LPG overhead-grill enquiries. Hertfordshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Sussex are also covered; other UK areas are considered by request. Each visit depends on postcode, installation, access, travel and availability of an appropriately qualified engineer. Send the inspection location, mounting or cooker-integration details and any access restrictions.
Send the complete setup before requesting attendance
Request an LPG grill inspection quote
Include the postcode and business setting, grill make, model, data plate and instructions, mounting or integration, burner and radiant layout, LPG type and pressure, complete supply, other appliances, current condition, flueing, extraction, ventilation, installation history, photos, access, deadline and exact paperwork wording.
An enquiry does not confirm attendance or a certificate. The grill, installation, evidence, operating condition, postcode, access, relevant catering competence and current availability are checked first.
