LPG Gas Hob Safety Certificate

It is the appropriate gas-safety record for the agreed checks completed on a genuinely LPG-fired hob and the stated parts of its supply. The record and scope depend on whether the hob is built in, freestanding or part of another appliance, its property or catering setting, and the wording requested by a landlord, park, venue, insurer, local authority or other dutyholder.

Not always. A separate hob has burners and pan supports without its own oven. A cooker or range can combine a hob, grill and one or more ovens within a single appliance. If the hob is integrated into a cooker or range, send the complete data plate and whole-appliance photos so the correct appliance and inspection route are quoted.

No, not automatically. An appliance-specific hob record does not by itself confirm that every relevant gas appliance, flue and part of the rented installation has been included in the landlord's required scope. State that the property is rented and send the complete appliance list, tenancy context and exact paperwork request before booking.

Not necessarily. A hob record can document the agreed checks on that appliance and supply. A mobile-catering or CP44-type request can cover the wider installation, including every declared appliance, cylinders, regulator, pipework, ventilation and unit setting. Forward the exact organiser or insurer wording so the broader route can be chosen where required.

Yes, as an enquiry, but list every appliance sharing the cylinders, bulk supply, regulator, changeover equipment or pipework. A property, caravan, trailer or commercial kitchen cannot be scoped honestly if boilers, water heaters, cookers, ovens or other connected branches are omitted. A landlord, caravan, mobile-catering or commercial LPG route may be needed.

Send the full postcode and setting, hob make, model, serial and data plate, manufacturer instructions, LPG type and pressure, number of burners, built-in, freestanding or integrated arrangement, cylinder or bulk supply, regulator, hoses, pipework and isolation, ignition and current operating condition, ventilation, installation and conversion history, other appliances, access, photos and exact deadline or requester wording.

The agreed scope may include appliance identification and suitability, installation and stability, gas tightness, operating pressure, hoses and connections, isolation, ignition, burners, burner caps, pan supports, flame supervision and controls where relevant, combustion or safe-operation checks, clearances, ventilation and the relevant accessible LPG supply. The engineer confirms the checks appropriate to the hob and setting.

It can be considered as an enquiry, but inspection is not a promise to approve unknown or unsupported equipment. Send manufacturer instructions, the complete data plate, declared LPG type and pressure, conversion evidence and whole-appliance photos. State whether it is fixed, plug-in, table-top or cartridge-fed and where it is used. Missing evidence, unsuitable components, outdoor-only equipment used in the wrong setting or an unidentified appliance may require another route or correction.

Your quote is based on the hob and burner layout, connected LPG supply, other appliances, setting, access, condition, available records, postcode and deadline. An inspection may identify defects. If the visit includes a landlord Gas Safety Record, the completed checks and defects belong on that record; HSE says it should be issued when the checks are complete, without waiting for repairs. Ask what the quotation includes for any separate diagnosis, remedial work or return visit.

We prioritise regular LPG hob enquiries in London, Essex and Kent. Hertfordshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Sussex are also covered; other UK areas are considered by request. Attendance depends on the postcode, installation, access, travel and availability of an appropriately qualified engineer. Include the hob details, connected LPG appliances, setting and proposed inspection address so we can consider a suitable visit.
