Who Needs an LPG Gas Safety Certificate?

If your property uses LPG for heating or cooking, you’re legally required to get an annual gas safety check. We work with letting agents and private landlords throughout Essex.

Mobile Catering Businesses

Running a food truck or mobile kitchen using LPG? You must have your gas system checked annually. Many local councils and event organisers in Essex require proof of this certificate before allowing you to trade.
