Gas Price Update: What You Need to Know
Why We’re Sharing a Gas Price Update
With wholesale LPG prices fluctuating across the UK, many customers are understandably searching for clear answers about why gas prices are rising and what the recent “market volatility surcharge” means. Below, we explain the situation in a transparent, customer‑focused way — and outline how The Gas Yard is handling these changes with fairness and clarity.
What’s Behind the Recent Market Volatility?
Energy markets naturally rise and fall, but the past few weeks have brought sharper and more sudden changes than usual. Global supply concerns have pushed up wholesale gas costs, and this has had a ripple effect on LPG suppliers nationwide.
These shifts aren’t caused by local factors or supplier policy — they originate further up the chain, and every supplier in the UK is navigating the same landscape.
Why a Temporary Surcharge Has Been Introduced
Because of the rapid rise in wholesale costs, Flogas — our supplier — has introduced a temporary market volatility surcharge. This gas price update helps stabilise supply during unpredictable periods and ensures deliveries can continue as normal.
Here at The Gas Yard, the current surcharge is applied at £3.94 inc VAT per LPG item.
We know additional charges are never welcome, which is why we want to be completely transparent: this surcharge is a direct pass‑through, and we do not add any margin to it.
Our Commitment to Transparency and Fair Pricing
Our approach is simple:
We never mark up the surcharge.
We apply it exactly as we receive it.
We will remove it the moment our supplier does.
This adjustment reflects genuine changes in global wholesale markets, not changes within our business. Our pricing structure stays the same, and we continue to monitor the situation closely.
How This Appears at Checkout
If you place an order for Flogas during this period, you’ll see a line item showing the market volatility surcharge. This mirrors the explanation already shown at checkout so you always know exactly what you’re paying for.
No hidden fees. No unexpected surprises. Just clear, honest pricing.
Looking Ahead With Optimism
Just as energy markets can rise quickly, they can settle just as fast. We remain hopeful that this volatility will ease and that the surcharge will be short‑term. As soon as Flogas removes it, it will immediately be removed from all Gas Yard orders too.
Here for You — Every Step of the Way
Throughout these market changes, our focus hasn’t shifted: we’re here to deliver reliable service, fair pricing, and friendly support for every customer. If you have any questions about the surcharge or your order, our team is always happy to help.
