What if I rent a tank?
In this case you have following option: Change your Supply Contract to LPG UK and have guarantee fixed margin.
We change the price on the first of ever month. We reserve the right to issues sudden increases or decreases when market changes exceed normal market conditions.
Once you have decided to proceed with us you need to sign the NOTICE 1 document and return to us, and your transfer will be completed in a maximum of 42 days.
Because we use third party deliver agents the tankers which will deliver your gas will vary. Some will have automatic systems so the number of litres can be pre-programmed therefore delivery will be exact.
Sometimes the tankers will be slight older and not have the modern systems fitted this can result in the litres not being exact, this will be invoiced and can be paid or refunded at a later date.
You would need to book a online engineer to come out and test your tank before you can order gas.
All LPG vessels have to be sited to COP1 (Codes of practice). If your tank does not comply to COP1 we will not fill the tank until it has been resited using our engineer but you would have to provide a new base and trench.
If the tank cannot be resited we will either cancel your contract or remove the tank and recommend a cylinder supplier.
If you would like a copy of COP1 please email Val@Extragas.co.uk
When a tank is installed if it is a "Roll Over" from a previous supplier it is free of charge as long as the tank is being sited in the same location.
If it was a new install there would be a charge of around £350 -£500 depending on site conditions etc.
All the pipe work in the ground would be the reasonablilty of yourselve to put in and maintain. We can provide the pipe FOC for this job.
If you have a LPG UK tank installed then LPG UK or a chosen supplier by LPG UK may fill the tank.
We work on maximum 10 day delivery time.(Unless extreme weather conditions Prevent delivery)
This depends on which tank you have fitted.
Example
1 Tank above ground £63.00per year

We do have a emergency 48hr deliveries but there is a charge of £100 and it does depend on location.
All LPG is paid for by credit card and the approx amount is held on the card until delivery and then the correct amount is updated.
All tank rentals are paid by direct debit.
Yes this is possible be we do charge a £10.00 booking fee to allow for administration costs.
