CP44 Gas Safety Certificate for Mobile Catering Trailers – Union Plumbing
If you operate a mobile catering trailer in West Yorkshire or nearby areas like Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford, Leeds, or even Manchester, you are legally required to hold a valid CP44 gas safety certificate (formerly known as CP42).
At Union Plumbing, our qualified LPG catering trailer engineers ensure your setup is compliant, safe, and ready for business.
Who Needs a CP44 LPG Mobile Catering Certificate?
Anyone running a mobile catering trailer or food truck that uses LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) must have a current CP44 gas safety certificate.
This certificate is a legal requirement for all takeaway food businesses operating from catering trailers, ensuring safety for staff and the public.
What Does a CP44 Certificate Cover?
The CP44 certificate includes a full inspection of your LPG catering trailer installation. Our expert engineers assess:
- Gas bottle storage for safety and compliance
- Regulators to confirm correct gas pressure
- Pipework for leaks or faults
- Gas appliances for functionality and safety
We provide a detailed report and issue the CP44 certificate once your trailer meets the required standards.
Are Appliance Services Required?
While a full appliance service isn't mandatory for the certificate, each appliance must be tested to be included on your CP44 certificate.
However, we recommend servicing, which includes:
- Deep cleaning
- Inspection
- Preventative maintenance
This reduces the risk of breakdowns, minimises downtime, and prolongs appliance lifespan — helping you stay open and profitable.
What If an Appliance Fails?
If an appliance or installation fails inspection, we’ll provide clear feedback.
- A single faulty appliance can be safely isolated
- The rest of the system can still pass and be certified
- We’ll guide you on the necessary steps to achieve full compliance
How to Prepare for a CP44 Inspection
To help your inspection go smoothly:
- Make sure your LPG bottles are filled
- Perform a thorough deep clean — grease buildup is a fire risk
- Ensure clear access to all appliances and pipework
A clean, well-prepared trailer helps us complete your inspection quickly and efficiently.
