Not every commercial kitchen has piped gas. Mobile catering units, event and festival caterers, and venues in rural locations often cook on LPG instead, using bottled or bulk gas rather than a mains supply. Fix & Repair Engineers installs, services and repairs LPG-powered catering equipment for exactly these setups, across London and the Home Counties.
This page covers the LPG-specific side of catering equipment: the cylinder or tank connection, regulator, pipework and the appliance itself. For our full range of commercial catering equipment repairs, brands and general kitchen servicing, see our commercial catering equipment repairs page.

Common LPG Catering Equipment Faults
Some faults on LPG catering equipment sit with the appliance. Others come from the gas supply, and are easy to mistake for an equipment fault:
Weak or Uneven Flame
Often caused by a low cylinder level, a partially open valve, or a regulator affected by cold weather, rather than the burner itself.
Low Cylinder Level During Service
Performance can drop mid-service on longer trading days if cylinder capacity isn't matched to demand.
Ignition Faults on Mobile Units
Vibration from transport and repeated setup and breakdown can loosen ignition components over time.
Hose & Connection Wear
Hoses and connections on mobile rigs see more wear than fixed installations, from regular transport and setup.
Ventilation Faults in Enclosed Spaces
Poor ventilation in marquees or trailers increases carbon monoxide risk and needs checking as part of any safety inspection.
Thermostat & Element Faults
Standard appliance faults affecting temperature control, covered the same way as on any commercial appliance.
Mobile & Event Catering Considerations
Mobile and event catering brings its own set of practical and safety considerations beyond a fixed kitchen:
Before an Event or Season
Pre-season and pre-event checks catch cylinder, regulator and hose issues before they cause a breakdown mid-service, when there's no time to wait for a repair.
Ventilation in Temporary Structures
Marquees and enclosed trailers need adequate ventilation for LPG-fed cooking equipment to prevent a build-up of combustion gases.
