Gas Regulation
Please note that LPG testing on hire boats or any craft used as a permanent residence, a Corgi
registered person must do the gas test, unless the craft is fitted with a "Bubble Tester".
The obvious advantage of a bubble tester is that any BSS examiner can carry out the test & the
owner can test for gas soundness at any time. The boat owner or any competent qualified person
can easily carry out fitting a bubble tester.
Current cost of an Alde bubble tester is £41.75 inc vat, a direct saving on the cost of having a gas
engineer present at the BSS examination.
As a bubble tester simplifies the gas test a discount of 5% on the above prices is applied by Eric
Brook. For craft with no gas on board a 10% discount is applicable.

 

Royal National Lifeboat Institute
Eric Brook is also qualified to carry out RNLI Sea Safety Checks. These checks carried out free of charge, are available to all boat owners who intend to cruise into tidal waters, i.e. the lower Trent, Ouse or offshore. Talk to Eric about what is involved.
