LPG, oil & park home heating

LPG is bottled or bulk-tank gas, and it behaves differently to mains gas: different pressures, different regulators, its own safety devices. That is why it sits under its own Gas Safe categories rather than coming free with a natural gas registration. CTL holds them, so LPG boiler installation, servicing and breakdown repairs are all in scope, whether you are on a bulk tank in the countryside or bottles outside the door.

Park homes and holiday statics are the other side of LPG work, and they are where a lot of Kent owners struggle to find anyone. Almost all of them run on LPG, many are heated by a boiler or a room heater rather than a central heating system, and plenty of firms simply will not take the work on. CTL covers both: residential park homes lived in all year, and holiday caravans and lodges on the coastal parks.

If you let a holiday home out, we carry out the annual gas safety check on the appliances you provide and issue the record, exactly as we do for landlords of bricks-and-mortar property. Park owners and private owners both get the same visit.

Oil is the third fuel here, and it is where OFTEC certification comes in. Installation, replacement, annual servicing and repairs are all covered. Servicing matters more on oil than on anything else: the filter and nozzle need attention every year or the boiler stops burning cleanly, and a neglected oil boiler gets expensive fast.
