LPG Gas Testing Services

At Thurton Auto Centre, we understand how important it is to keep your motorhome, campervan, or caravan in safe working order, especially when it comes to LPG gas systems. Whether you use your vehicle for leisure or long-term living, ensuring that your LPG gas system is in top condition is vital not only for your safety but also for legal compliance. Our LPG gas testing services help you meet UK regulations, protect your vehicle, and maintain peace of mind while you travel.

Why Regular LPG Gas Checks Are Essential

1. Safety First

LPG systems are an efficient and economical choice for powering appliances in motorhomes, campervans, and caravans. However, like any gas system, they can pose serious risks if not maintained properly. Regular LPG gas checks are crucial to ensure your system is free from leaks, corrosion, or blockages. Faulty systems can lead to fire hazards, carbon monoxide poisoning, or even explosions, which are dangerous not only to you but also to other road users.
2. Compliance with UK Regulations
Since the UK left the European Union, the country has implemented stricter regulations regarding gas systems in vehicles to ensure better safety standards. These regulations include the requirement for motorhomes, campervans, and caravans to pass an LPG gas safety check as part of routine inspections. Our LPG gas testing services ensure your vehicle meets the most up-to-date compliance standards, so you can travel with confidence.
3. Prevent Costly Repairs
Regular gas checks can help identify issues before they turn into expensive problems. By addressing small issues early, you can avoid major repairs and extend the life of your LPG system, saving you money in the long run. Our qualified technicians will thoroughly inspect all components, including the regulator, hoses, gas bottles, and safety valves, to ensure they are functioning optimally.
4. Peace of Mind on the Road
Whether you’re heading to your favourite campsite or embarking on a long-term road trip, knowing that your LPG system is properly tested and safe gives you the peace of mind to enjoy your travels without worry. Our comprehensive tests and professional service ensure that your motorhome or caravan remains roadworthy and gas-safe at all times.

Regulatory Compliance for LPG Systems in the UK

Since the UK’s exit from the European Union, several key regulatory changes have been introduced to ensure the safety and compliance of gas systems in vehicles:

LPG Gas Safety Check Requirement: The UK has tightened regulations, now requiring all vehicles with LPG gas systems, including motorhomes and caravans, to undergo annual gas safety checks. These checks ensure that your gas system is free from leaks, defects, and compliance issues that could pose a danger.
New Testing Standards for LPG Systems: New laws mandate more thorough inspections of gas bottles, regulators, and hose connections, including visual inspections for wear and tear and functionality checks.
MOT and Gas Safety Link: As part of your MOT test, it’s now essential that your LPG system is inspected and meets the necessary safety standards. Failing to comply with these checks could lead to penalties or even prevent you from passing your MOT.
At Thurton Auto Centre, our expert team is fully trained to ensure your LPG system is compliant with these up-to-date regulations. We use the latest equipment and methods to conduct comprehensive gas testing and deliver a detailed safety report.

Our LPG Gas Testing Service Includes:

Full System Inspection: Visual and functional checks of gas hoses, regulators, connections, and appliances.
Leak Detection: Using advanced equipment to detect any gas leaks, ensuring there is no risk of hazardous situations.
Regulatory Compliance Verification: Ensuring your LPG system meets all UK-specific regulatory standards and the latest post-Brexit requirements.

The whole team has a great work ethic

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1 Month Ago

I’m not normally speechless but today I succumbed ! I just could not believe the sparkling motorhome standing in front of me was the same tired one I left in the hands of these guys a week earlier ! Quick, efficient and professional throughout. They kept me updated with photos and emails of work done, being done and teaser shots of the then and now ! Completely stunning, I really can’t recommend these guys enough The whole team has a great work ethic and I found out that there is “No Can’t “in their vocabulary only “ of course we can “ A workforce to be proud of, very rarely found these days and YES it’s a 100% recommendation from me and Yes I will be returning to have the MOT and service done here, plus more interior work Lyn P - Read more about this project

The customer service was 1st class.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 weeks ago

A month has now passed since we drove into Tradervan for a full service, mot & bodywork on our motorhome. It is time to review. This was our first visit. We were welcomed and put at ease immediately. Nothing was a trouble. We had previously booked so work began that day. The customer service was 1st. class. The rig shone on our pick up day and I write this review from the heart of Spain with a new cam belt, brakes & a vehicle to be proud of. Thanks to the team & see you in the future.

I was pleasantly surprised to be given a bill much less than anticipated

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1 Day Ago

This was the 2nd time I have used this company and can honestly say very happy with the service I recieved, after completing a major service on my motorhome they highlighted some welding which was required, I was already aware it needed doing but asked if they could do it whilst my vehicle was with them. They agreed to do the work and provided a quote to complete the work whilst this wasn't a small sum to do the work I agreed for them to carry the work out for me. Yesterday I received a call to say the work was completed and my vehicle was ready for collection, expecting to pay the price of the quote I was pleasantly surprised to be given a bill much less than anticipated. In my mind that shows honesty and integrity as they could have charged me as per the quote and I wouldn't have known any different. So all in all very happy and would have no issues using them again.

Five stars isnt enough i would give 10 if i could

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Drove down for the weekend from london and had something go wrong with my car. They managed to fit me in at really short notice and they didnt try to rip me off. I was able to drive back to london safely and without having to be inconvenienced by being stuck there until i found a way of fixing my car or getting it back. Five stars isnt enough i would give 10 if i could

I would recommend Thurton Auto Centre to anyone

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating...

I’m not someone who normally writes reviews, but because the customer service was so good I wanted to let others be aware of this company. I needed to replace the cam belt for the Motorhome as well as giving it a major service prior to putting it up for sale. The very knowledgeable staff took my details and then provided me the quote. Works came in on price and on time, and I asked for help in selling the van. They arranged the whole deal including valeting the van, and had my money in the bank within a few weeks after a successful sale. I
would recommend Thurton Auto Centre to anyone who are feeling let down by their own garage. They are an independently owned garage who genuinly wants to look after its customers hoping they will return, I certainly will.
