Hiring the qualified LPG engineers for LPG safe certificate in the UK

If you run a catering trailer in the UK, you’ll already know how important it is to keep everything in good working order. One thing you cannot afford to overlook is your catering trailer gas certificate. It’s not just a legal requirement – it’s about keeping you, your staff, and your customers safe.

At Upkeepone, we provide fast, reliable gas safety checks for catering trailers of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’ve just bought a second-hand trailer or you’ve been trading for years, we’ll make sure your gas appliances are safe, efficient, and fully certified.

Why You Need a Gas Certificate for Your Catering Trailer

Under UK law, any mobile catering unit that uses gas for cooking must have a valid gas safety certificate issued by a qualified engineer. Without it, you could be fined, your insurance might be invalid, and worst of all, you could be putting lives at risk.
A catering trailer gas certificate proves that all gas appliances – like hobs, ovens, grills, and fryers – have been properly checked and meet the required safety standards. Most event organisers and local councils will insist on seeing your certificate before allowing you to trade.

What Our Gas Safety Inspection Covers

When you book with Upkeepone, one of our Gas Safe registered engineers will visit your catering trailer and carry out a full inspection. Here’s what’s included:

Checking all gas appliances for leaks and safe operation

  • Testing pipework and fittings
  • Ensuring correct ventilation
  • Confirming that emergency shut-off valves are working
  • Issuing a full report and your official gas safety certificate

If we spot any issues, don’t worry – we’ll talk you through your options and provide repairs if needed.

How Often You Need a Catering Trailer Gas Certificate

You must renew your catering trailer gas certificate every 12 months. Regular checks not only keep you compliant but also help catch any problems early before they turn into expensive repairs.

FAQs

What is a catering trailer gas certificate?

A catering trailer gas certificate is an official document that confirms all gas appliances and pipework in your mobile catering unit have been professionally checked and meet UK safety standards. It’s issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer after a full inspection.

Yes – if you use gas appliances in your catering trailer (like cookers, grills or fryers), you must have a valid gas safety certificate by law. This applies even if you only trade occasionally. It keeps your customers safe and helps you stay compliant with insurance and local council rules.

Gas safety certificates for catering trailers must be renewed every 12 months. Some councils or event organisers may also ask to see a certificate that’s been issued within the last year before they let you trade.

The inspection itself usually takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of your kitchen and the number of appliances. If everything is in order, you’ll often receive your Gas Safety Certificate on the same day.

The inspection covers all gas appliances, pipework, valves, and ventilation. The engineer will test for leaks, check everything is working safely, and make sure your trailer meets current gas regulations. Once it’s passed, you’ll receive your catering trailer gas certificate.

Most inspections take around 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how many appliances you have in your trailer. If repairs are needed, it may take a little longer – but we’ll always keep you informed.

If any faults are found, the engineer will let you know what needs fixing. You can then choose to have the repairs done before a new certificate is issued. Safety is the priority, so appliances that aren’t up to standard must be sorted before you can trade legally.

We offer flexible appointments and often have short-notice slots available. If you’ve got an event coming up and need your certificate fast, give us a call and we’ll do our best to fit you in.

Prices can vary depending on the size of your trailer and the number of gas appliances, but we offer clear, competitive pricing with no hidden fees. Just get in touch for a quick quote.

Only a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer can legally issue a gas safety certificate for catering trailers. Always check their ID and registration number before they carry out any work.
