Start with the appliance and property category

The correct LPG cooker record follows the installation and its use

A freestanding cooker in a rented rural home, a range in a static caravan and a catering cooker in a mobile unit can need different competence and records. The appliance components, property or business use and complete fuel path must be identified before attendance is proposed.

There is no universal cooker certificate: the appropriate gas record documents the agreed checks. It does not automatically cover electrical elements, food hygiene, fire-risk assessment, landlord duties outside the gas scope, vehicle systems, site licensing or acceptance by a buyer, organiser, insurer or park operator.

Different properties and business settings need different routes

Who this LPG cooker page is for

Homes and rentals

Rural homes, rented properties and holiday accommodation

Owners, landlords, agents and accommodation operators who need the cooker, tenancy or occupancy, other appliances and required record identified before booking.

Leisure accommodation

Cookers in residential or holiday units where the exact accommodation category, LPG supply, park access and property-specific competence affect the route.

Catering use

Mobile units and commercial kitchens

Catering cookers or ranges in vans, trailers, stalls, restaurants or managed sites where appliance, supply, ventilation, extraction and commercial competence must be declared.

The cooker, property and complete fuel path define the visit

What an LPG cooker quote and inspection may need to cover

The team needs the appliance specification, complete LPG supply, property or business use and ventilation details before matching a suitable engineer and inspection scope.

Appliance identityMake, model, serial and all data plates, intended LPG type and pressure, hob, oven and grill configuration, manufacturer instructions, approvals and conversion history.
Supply and installationCylinders or bulk supply, regulator and changeover, accessible pipework, flexible connection or hose, fittings, appliance restraint where relevant, isolation, gas tightness and operating pressure.
Burners and controlsHob, oven and grill burners, ignition, flame supervision and other safety controls, door seals and visible condition, combustion or safe-operation checks within the agreed scope.
Siting and ventilationStability, clearances, surrounding materials, ventilation, make-up air, flueing or extraction where applicable and safe access for operation, cleaning and isolation.

Separate three commonly confused cooking arrangements

Which LPG cooker route fits the installation?

Freestanding cooker or range

One appliance can combine a hob, ovens and grill, sometimes with more than one data plate or mixed gas and electrical components that must be identified.

Separate hob and oven

Built-in or adjacent units are distinct appliances with their own connections, isolation, controls and data plates and must all be included in the quote.

Property or catering installation

The same appliance label can sit in a rented home, static caravan, mobile unit or commercial kitchen, each with a different wider scope and competence requirement.

The outcome follows the evidence and accessible findings

Possible LPG cooker inspection outcomes

The outcome follows the identified appliance, property or business use, manufacturer evidence, complete supply, 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, conversion or installer evidence requested
  • Further appliance, flue or pipework access required
  • Connection, restraint, regulator, isolation or ventilation work quoted
  • Unsafe equipment isolated or taken out of use as appropriate
  • Return attendance after remedial work

Areas covered for LPG cooker inspections

Priority areas for regular enquiries

London, Essex and Kent are the priority areas for regular LPG cooker enquiries. Send the full inspection postcode and tell us whether the cooker is in a home, rental property, holiday unit or catering setting.

Additional counties covered

We also cover LPG cooker enquiries in Hertfordshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Sussex. A cooker enquiry in these counties still needs the appliance details, property or business use and complete LPG supply to be identified.

Requests from elsewhere in the UK

Other UK areas are considered by request. Provide the inspection postcode and cooker installation details so we can assess the practical arrangements before advising on a visit.

  • Full postcode required
  • Cooker and every gas component identified
  • Property or business setting declared
  • Complete connected LPG installation shown
  • Relevant appliance and property competence checked

Attendance depends on the postcode, installation, access, travel and availability of an appropriately qualified engineer. Tell us how access will be arranged and whether the cooker and LPG supply can be reached during the visit. For a rented property, holiday park or commercial site, include any access rules or operating restrictions. The scope and appointment options are confirmed before booking.

Questions before booking

LPG cooker safety certificate FAQs

What is an LPG cooker safety certificate?

It is the appropriate gas-safety record for the agreed checks completed on a genuinely LPG-fired cooker and the stated parts of its gas supply. The record and scope depend on the appliance, installation, property or business use and the paperwork requested by a landlord, venue, insurer, buyer, site operator or other dutyholder.

Is an LPG cooker the same as a separate hob, oven or range?

Not always. A freestanding cooker or range may combine hob burners, one or more ovens and a grill in one appliance. Separate built-in hobs and ovens are distinct appliances and must all be declared. Send the make, model, data plates and whole-installation photos so the correct appliance count and scope are quoted.

Does a landlord need an LPG cooker safety check?

In relevant rented accommodation, landlord-owned or provided LPG appliances and flues fall within the landlord's gas-safety duties. The booking must identify the tenancy, property type, cooker and every other landlord-provided gas appliance so the required annual check, record and engineer competence can be confirmed. An owner-occupied property should not be described as needing a landlord record merely because it uses LPG.

Can an LPG cooker be checked in a static caravan, lodge or holiday let?

It can be considered, but the exact accommodation category matters. Static caravans, park homes, lodges, leisure accommodation and holiday lets can require property-specific LPG competence as well as cooker competence. State whether the unit is rented, residential, holiday or commercial and use the more specific property route where advised.

Can the cooker and other LPG appliances be checked together?

Yes, as an enquiry, but declare every appliance sharing the cylinders, tank, regulator, changeover equipment or pipework. A cooker cannot be scoped honestly if a boiler, fire, water heater, refrigerator or other connected branch is omitted. The correct landlord, static-caravan, mobile-catering or commercial route may cover the wider installation.

What details should I send for an LPG cooker quote?

Send the full postcode and property or business setting, cooker make, model, serial and data plate, manufacturer instructions, LPG type and pressure, cylinder or bulk supply, regulator, hoses, pipework and isolation, hob, oven and grill components, ventilation or extraction, installation and conversion history, every connected gas appliance, access, photos and exact deadline or requester wording.

What may an LPG cooker inspection include?

The agreed scope may include appliance identification and suitability, installation and stability, gas tightness, operating pressure, hoses and connections, isolation, hob, oven and grill burners, ignition, flame supervision and other safety controls, combustion or safe-operation checks, ventilation, flueing or extraction where applicable and the relevant accessible supply components. The engineer confirms the checks appropriate to the appliance and setting.

Can an imported, converted or second-hand LPG cooker be inspected?

It can be considered as an enquiry, but inspection is not a promise to approve unknown or unsupported work. Send manufacturer instructions, complete data plates, declared LPG type and pressure, conversion evidence, installer or commissioning records and photos. Missing evidence, unsuitable injectors or components, concealed work or an unidentified appliance may require investigation or correction.

Will a certificate be issued on the first visit and how much will it cost?

An inspection cannot guarantee a satisfactory result. The price depends on the postcode, cooker and LPG supply, property or catering setting, number of appliances, access, available records, agreed scope and deadline. Where a landlord Gas Safety Record is required, it records the completed checks and any defects and should be issued on completion, rather than delayed until repairs are finished. Remedial work or a return visit may still be needed; ask what is included in the quotation before booking.

Which areas do you cover for LPG cooker enquiries?

London, Essex and Kent are the priority areas for regular LPG cooker enquiries. Hertfordshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Sussex are also covered, while other UK areas are considered by request. Attendance depends on postcode, installation, access, travel and availability of an appropriately qualified engineer. Include the cooker model, property or catering setting and access arrangements when sending the postcode so we can check the appropriate visit options.

Send the complete setup before requesting attendance

Request an LPG cooker inspection quote

Include the postcode and property or business setting, cooker make, model, data plates and instructions, LPG type and pressure, complete supply, every connected appliance, hob, oven and grill sections, ventilation or extraction, installation history, photos, access, deadline and exact paperwork wording.

An enquiry does not confirm attendance or a certificate. The cooker, installation, evidence, postcode, property or catering setting, relevant competence and current availability are checked first.
