UK LPG inspections, records and certificate enquiries
LPG Gas Safety Certificate
Find the right LPG inspection route for a property, static caravan, catering unit, event business or commercial appliance. Send the setup, postcode and required paperwork first so Upkeepone can match the enquiry to the appropriate LPG competence.
Start with the setup, not the document name
Which LPG certificate route do you need?
People use "LPG certificate" for several different records and reports. The quickest route is to identify where the LPG is installed, how it is used and who has asked for the paperwork.

Routes for properties, mobile traders and commercial LPG
These pages explain the information needed for the most common enquiries. If none is an exact match, use the general form and describe the installation in your own words.
Mobile catering, CP44 and event units
Choose this route when a market, event, council, insurer or site operator has asked for LPG safety paperwork.
Landlords, holiday lets and static caravans
Use these routes for LPG appliances installed in rented homes, holiday accommodation, park homes or static caravans.
Commercial LPG systems and appliances
Start here for workplaces, commercial kitchens, hospitality premises and multi-appliance LPG installations.
Conversions and unclear LPG paperwork
Choose this route when the request mentions a conversion, an unusual unit or a document name you cannot match confidently.
Inspection scope follows the installation
What may be checked during an LPG visit
The exact checks depend on the appliance, supply arrangement, property or vehicle and the record required. The engineer confirms the scope before or at the visit.
Supply and pipework
Cylinders or supply arrangements, regulators, hoses, accessible pipework, connections and soundness may be checked where relevant.
Appliances and combustion
Condition, operation, safety devices, ventilation, flues and combustion performance may form part of the relevant inspection.
Outcome and next steps
The resulting record or report reflects the checks completed. Faults, parts, repairs and return visits are handled separately.
Postcode-qualified UK enquiries
Where Upkeepone considers LPG certificate work

Regular LPG work
London, Essex and Kent are the priority service areas for regular LPG enquiries.
Considered when the right trade is available
Hertfordshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Sussex can be assessed from the job details. Other UK areas are considered by request.

A booking built around the right information
Four steps from enquiry to inspection outcome
Checks before commitment
Why the LPG category and job details matter
A Gas Safe registration is not a blanket permission for every fuel, appliance and setting. The attending engineer must have the competencies relevant to the LPG work described.
Relevant LPG competence
The unit, appliance and installation details are used to identify the appropriate engineer category before attendance.
No certificate promised in advance
The document issued must reflect the inspection outcome. A fault may require restriction, repair or a return visit.
Separate repair decisions
Parts and remedial work are not silently added to the inspection. The next step is explained and quoted separately.
For landlord gas safety checks, HSE states that the record is issued after the required checks and includes the appliances or flues checked, engineer details, date, property details and any safety-related defects or remedial action.

Questions before booking
LPG certificate questions answered
What is an LPG gas safety certificate?
LPG certificate is a common customer term for the certificate, safety record or inspection report appropriate to a particular LPG installation. The document needed depends on the property, appliance, business use and the organisation requesting it, so Upkeepone confirms the correct route from the job details before attendance.
Does an LPG inspection need a Gas Safe registered engineer?
Gas work must be completed by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is competent for the relevant LPG category, appliance and setting. Registration alone does not mean every engineer can work on every LPG installation, so the appliance list and unit or property type are checked first.
Is CP44 the same as an LPG certificate?
CP44 is commonly used when organisers, councils, insurers or site operators request gas safety paperwork for mobile catering. It is not the name of every LPG record. Send the request you have received and details of the unit so the appropriate inspection and paperwork can be confirmed.
Can Upkeepone arrange LPG certificates for food trucks and catering trailers?
Yes. Enquiries can cover food trucks, catering trailers, coffee vans, converted horse boxes, mobile bars and other event units. Send the full appliance list, LPG bottle or storage arrangement, photos where helpful, postcode and any trading deadline.
Can I book an LPG check for a static caravan, holiday let or rental property?
Yes. Send the property or unit type, whether it is rented or used as holiday accommodation, the appliance list, postcode and the paperwork required. Landlord gas safety duties are different from voluntary owner checks, so the purpose of the visit must be clear.
How much does an LPG certificate cost?
Current guide prices start from £130 for cylinder and pipework checks and from £155 for one LPG appliance, with additional appliances from £45 each. VAT, travel, access, installation type, paperwork and remedial work can change the final quote, which is confirmed before attendance.
What does an LPG gas safety inspection include?
The scope depends on the installation. It may include the cylinder or supply arrangement, regulator, hoses, pipework, connections, appliance safety, ventilation, flue or combustion checks and the condition of accessible components where relevant. The engineer confirms the exact checks for the job.
What happens if the LPG inspection finds a fault?
The engineer explains the finding and whether the appliance or installation can continue to be used. Any parts, remedial work or return visit are scoped and priced separately. A certificate or report is not promised before the inspection outcome is known.
What should I send before booking an LPG inspection?
Send the full postcode, property or unit type, appliance list, photos where useful, access details, preferred date and the reason the paperwork is required. For catering or event work, include the organiser, council, insurer or site deadline and any document wording supplied to you.
Which UK areas do you cover for LPG certificates?
Regular LPG work covers London, Essex and Kent. Enquiries in Hertfordshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Sussex can also be considered when the right LPG trade is available. Other UK areas are considered by request. Send the full postcode before a booking is agreed.
