Common reasons an LPG inspection may fail

  • Unsafe appliance operation or signs of poor combustion
  • Damaged, unsuitable or incorrectly routed pipework
  • Poor ventilation or flue issues where relevant
  • Unsuitable regulator or cylinder arrangements
  • Appliances not accessible or not ready for inspection
  • Recent changes that have not been checked properly

What happens on the day

The engineer will inspect the LPG setup and connected appliances. If a serious issue is found, they may advise that an appliance or installation should not be used until corrected. The exact action depends on the defect and safety risk.

If the problem is minor and can be resolved, the engineer will explain what is possible. If parts, access or further work are needed, you may need a separate repair or re-check appointment.

How to get back to a pass

Ask for clear defect details, keep any paperwork or photos, and call with the appliance list and postcode. If another engineer has already failed the setup, tell us what was written down so the next visit can be planned properly.

FAQs before you call

Will I still receive a certificate if the LPG inspection fails?

No suitable certificate should be issued for an unsafe setup. The defects need to be corrected before safe paperwork can be provided.

Can Upkeepone help after a failed LPG check?

Yes. Call with the defect details, postcode and appliance list so we can advise on availability and the right next step.

Can remedial work be done on the same visit?

Sometimes, but it depends on the issue, parts, access, time and engineer scope. More complex work may need a separate appointment.

Should I keep using the appliance after a failed inspection?

Follow the engineer safety advice. If an appliance or installation is unsafe, it should not be used until corrected.
