Commercial natural gas and LPG certification
Commercial Gas Certificate
Arrange a commercial gas safety inspection and written certificate for a business premises, managed property or hospitality site.
Send the full postcode, natural gas or LPG supply, appliance list, meter details, site use and access hours. We check that the engineer’s Gas Safe competence matches the work before confirming attendance.
The practical answer
What is a commercial gas certificate?
A commercial gas certificate is the written record issued after an appropriately qualified engineer completes the agreed gas safety checks at business or non-domestic premises. It should identify the site, equipment checked, test date, engineer and findings within that scope.
There is no single certificate format or inspection rule that fits every commercial premises. A restaurant kitchen, office boiler room, workshop and LPG installation can involve different fuels, appliances, risks and engineer competencies. Tell us who has requested the document—such as a landlord, facilities team, insurer or local authority—and what they expect it to cover.

Correct fuel and competence
Natural gas and commercial LPG need the right engineer category
Gas Safe registration alone is not a blanket qualification for every commercial job. The back of an engineer’s current ID card shows the work categories they may undertake. That is why the appliance list and fuel type must be checked before the visit.
Commercial heating
Boilers, warm-air units and associated plant need an engineer competent for the relevant commercial heating equipment and fuel.
Commercial catering
Cooking equipment, ventilation and any gas-supply interlock considerations require the appropriate commercial catering competence and a clear appliance list.
Commercial LPG
LPG cylinders, bulk supplies, pipework and appliances introduce a different fuel scope. Share storage and supply details as well as the equipment.
Agreed inspection scope
What may be checked during the commercial gas visit
The exact tests depend on the appliance, fuel, installation and certificate requested. The engineer will confirm the applicable checks and record the findings for the items included in the booking.
- Safe operation of each included appliance
- Relevant safety and isolation controls
- Combustion, flueing and products of combustion
- Ventilation serving the equipment and room
- Meter installation and accessible pipework points
- Visible condition, location and suitability concerns
- Commercial catering interlock matters where applicable
- Recorded defects and immediate safety action
UK workplace guide
Commercial gas safety is an ongoing management duty
A certificate can support your records, but it does not replace risk assessment, suitable maintenance or prompt action on defects. The responsible person should set a regime that fits the premises and equipment.
Maintain relevant appliances, flues, pipework and safety devices in a safe condition.
Check current Gas Safe registration and the categories that match the actual commercial work.
Use equipment, risk, manufacturer and industry guidance rather than assuming one timetable suits every site.
Keep the record, control unsafe equipment and arrange competent remedial work when required.
For hospitality and catering premises, HSE says inspection periods can vary with the equipment and its use and should follow manufacturer recommendations; it describes annual inspections as a reasonable minimum in general. Commercial kitchens also need adequate ventilation and suitable arrangements for gas-fired equipment.
Avoid scope gaps
Certificate, service and repair are different jobs
State the required outcome when booking. Combining the services may be possible, but the certificate price covers only the testing and record described in the quotation.
Safety check and certificate
Tests the agreed appliances and installation points for safety-related matters and produces the relevant written record.
Planned service
Maintains specified equipment using the applicable service procedure. It may involve cleaning, adjustment or service parts not included in a certificate check.
Repair or installation
Corrects a fault, replaces components or alters the installation. Parts, labour and any return attendance need separate authorisation.
Booking process
From appliance list to completed commercial gas record
Describe the site
Send the postcode, business use, fuel, appliance list, meter position, access hours and deadline.
Confirm scope and price
We match the engineer category and confirm the included appliance, additional items and certificate required.
Engineer attends
The engineer carries out the agreed checks, records the results and explains any immediate safety action.
Receive the record
The agreed certificate or record is completed, with follow-up advice or a separate remedial quotation where needed.
Useful written evidence
Check that the record matches the booked scope
The record should identify the premises, date, engineer, gas type and appliances or installation points covered. It should also show the relevant findings, any defects and the action advised or taken.
Keep the document with the appliance register, service history, remedial evidence and risk-management records. If a landlord, insurer or authority requested a particular form, send that requirement before the visit.

Common questions
Commercial gas certificate FAQs
Straight answers about the price, included appliance, LPG, engineer competence and business responsibilities. These visible answers match the FAQ structured data on this page.
How much does a commercial gas certificate cost?
A commercial gas certificate starts from £155. That starting price covers testing one gas appliance, a meter check and completion of the agreed certificate. The final quotation depends on the appliance types, gas type, premises, location, access and exact record required.
What is included in the £155 commercial gas certificate price?
The £155 starting price includes testing one commercial gas appliance, checking the meter and completing the agreed commercial gas certificate. Servicing, repairs, replacement parts and work outside that scope are priced separately.
How much is each additional commercial gas appliance?
Each appliance beyond the one appliance included in the starting certificate price starts from £45. Send a complete appliance list so the full certificate price can be confirmed before attendance.
How much is a commercial gas meter check only?
A commercial gas meter check only starts from £130. Tell us who has requested the check and what written evidence is needed, because a meter-only check does not cover the safety of commercial gas appliances.
Do you provide commercial LPG certificates?
Yes. A commercial LPG certificate starts from £155. LPG work requires an engineer whose Gas Safe competence matches the fuel, installation and appliance category, so send details of the cylinders or bulk supply, equipment and site use with the enquiry.
Does every business need an annual commercial gas certificate?
There is no single certificate rule that applies identically to every commercial site. Businesses must manage workplace gas safety and keep relevant equipment in a safe condition. The inspection and maintenance schedule should reflect the equipment, its use, the risk assessment, manufacturer guidance and any landlord, insurer or industry requirement. HSE says annual inspection will generally be a reasonable minimum for hospitality and catering equipment, while the correct interval still depends on the equipment and use.
Why do you need the appliance type before confirming the booking?
Commercial gas work is divided into competence categories. The engineer must be Gas Safe registered and qualified for the particular fuel and equipment, such as commercial heating, commercial catering or LPG. Appliance data-plate photographs help us check the required category before attendance.
Is a commercial gas safety check the same as a service or repair?
No. The certificate visit covers the agreed safety-testing and record scope. A service is planned maintenance for particular equipment, while a repair corrects a fault. Neither servicing nor remedial work is included unless it is clearly stated in the quotation.
What happens if a commercial gas appliance is unsafe?
The engineer will explain the finding and the immediate safety action. An appliance identified as unsafe must not be used until the required work has been completed by an appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. Any repair or replacement quotation is separate from the certificate price unless agreed in advance.
What should I send for an accurate commercial gas quote?
Send the premises type and full postcode, natural gas or LPG, every appliance and its location, data-plate photographs where possible, meter details, opening hours, access or parking restrictions, the last certificate or service record and the deadline. Also explain who needs the document and why.
