Gas Safety Checks for Caravans and Motorhomes Across Northern Ireland
Gas appliances in caravans and motorhomes need regular safety checks to stay compliant, efficient, and above all safe. If you're not sure when your last test was, it might already be overdue. Faulty connections or unnoticed leaks can pose serious risks. Don’t leave it to chance..
Why Gas Systems Fail Without Warning
Even when everything seems fine, gas systems can develop faults that aren't immediately obvious. Ageing rubber seals, loose connections, and untested appliances can all lead to dangerous leaks or inefficient performance. Worst of all, the signs of a gas issue, like strange smells or appliance faults, don’t always show up until damage has already been done.
And if you're storing your caravan over winter or haven’t used the heating or hob in months, you might not know something’s wrong until you're out on the road.

Please email us at info@thornhillservices.co.uk or call us on 0782713819 if you cannot find an answer to your question.
What’s included in a gas safety check?
We carry out a pipework tightness test, flame failure device checks, carbon monoxide testing, ventilation checks, and general system integrity assessments.
How long does the gas check take?
Typically between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on your setup.
Can you test gas systems at a storage site or campsite?
Yes. Our mobile service covers storage yards, campsites, and homes. As long as we can access your van and safely operate our tools, we’re good to go.
Do I get paperwork after the check?
Yes, we provide a written record of what was checked and any findings, including safety concerns or suggested repairs.
Do you fix issues if something fails?
Minor issues can sometimes be resolved on-site. If more work is needed, we’ll talk through your options and provide a fair, transparent quote.
How often should a gas safety check be carried out?
Annually is best, especially if you use your van regularly. Checks are also a good idea after long storage periods or before a big trip.
Is this the same as a gas certificate?
This is a safety inspection, not a legal landlord-style gas certificate. For most leisure vehicles, this check meets insurance and safety expectations.
