Contracts and timing
Getting the timing right.
The most important dates are your contract end date and the notice period your current supplier needs. Give notice in the way your contract requires, usually in writing, and keep a record.
For bulk LPG, the timing of the old tank’s removal and your new tank’s installation needs planning, so your business keeps its gas. For cylinders, it is simply a case of timing your first Rectory delivery as your existing stock runs down.
If anything in your contract is unclear, send it to us and we’ll talk it through.

A switch should be planned so your business keeps its gas. We agree timings with you around your contract end date and the changeover of any tank, so you know what will happen and when.
Look for the contract end date, the notice period, who owns the tank and any charges for ending the agreement or removing the tank. If you’re unsure, send us what you have and we’ll help you make sense of it.
