Caravan and Static Home Gas Services
Gas safety checks and certificates from £75 +VAT for static caravans, park homes and touring caravans across the Durham and Northumberland coast. Carried out by a Gas Safe registered LPG engineer, which is exactly the qualification most heating firms do not hold.
Why caravans and park homes need a specialist
A static caravan or park home runs on LPG, not mains gas, and that is the reason owners struggle to find anyone. A Gas Safe registration on its own does not cover LPG. The engineer needs the specific LPG qualification, and across rural County Durham and the Northumberland coast there are very few who hold it.
The appliances are different too. Caravan boilers, water heaters and cookers are compact units built for a confined space, often fed from bottled gas with a regulator and flexible hose arrangement you simply do not see in a house. Ventilation and flue clearances are tighter and matter more, and the whole structure moves and settles in a way a brick building does not, which is hard on joints and connections.
When you need a gas safety check
- Letting it out. If you rent your static or park home to holidaymakers, even occasionally, you have the same legal duties as any landlord. That means an annual gas safety check by a registered engineer, a record given to whoever stays, and copies kept.
- Site requirements. Most holiday parks across the Durham and Northumberland coast require a current gas safety certificate before they will let a van stay on the pitch, and many ask to see it annually.
- Selling. A current certificate makes a private sale far easier, and buyers increasingly ask.
- Peace of mind. Confined space, bottled gas, appliances that sit unused for months over winter. That combination is exactly why an annual check matters.
What we check
Every appliance is tested for safe operation and correct combustion. We check the gas tightness of the whole system, inspect the regulator, hoses and connections for wear or perishing, confirm ventilation and flue clearances meet requirements, and test the safety devices on each appliance. You get the certificate on completion.
Anything we find is explained in plain English with a fixed price to put it right. No pressure and no scare tactics.
Caravan and Static Home Pricing
Fixed prices agreed before we start. All prices exclude VAT.
Cookers, hobs and fault finding
We also service caravan cookers and hobs, and carry out fault finding and repairs on LPG appliances. Those jobs vary too much by appliance and by what we find to publish a single fixed price, so ring us and describe the problem and we will give you a figure before we travel.
Booking several vans together
If you own more than one static, or you manage a park and need a run of vans certificated, we can schedule them into a single visit. That keeps the cost per van down and gets the paperwork done in one go rather than across a season. Ring us with how many and where and we will work something out.
Where we cover
We are based in Houghton le Spring and cover the Durham and Northumberland coast, along with rural County Durham and Tyne and Wear. LPG work regularly takes us further out than our usual radius because qualified engineers are so thin on the ground, so ring us with your location even if you think you might be outside the area. See the full list of areas we cover.
Other LPG work we do
Alongside caravans we cover LPG boiler servicing from £85 +VAT, LPG boiler repairs, LPG fire servicing, LPG system health checks and LPG landlord certificates for rented property. See all our LPG gas services.
