How Our CP42 Certification Works

Securing your commercial gas safety certificate should never disrupt your daily service. When you book a CP42 inspection with Fact Services, we arrange a visit at a time that minimises downtime for your kitchen. Our process is systematic, thorough, and completely transparent.First, our qualified catering gas engineers conduct a full visual and technical inspection of your commercial kitchen layout. We perform a rigorous gas tightness test across your entire pipework to confirm there are no underlying leaks. Next, we meticulously test every individual gas appliance, checking operating pressures, burner combustion, and overall condition.A critical part of our assessment includes gas interlock system testing. We verify that your gas supply automatically cuts off if your extraction canopy fails, a vital safety mechanism in any modern kitchen. We also measure ventilation and extraction rates to ensure harmful exhaust gases are safely removed. Once your kitchen passes all required checks, we instantly issue your CP42 certificate, providing a detailed breakdown of our findings.

The Benefits of Professional CP42 Certification

Securing a valid commercial gas safety certificate offers far more than simple peace of mind; it is a fundamental pillar of protecting your business. Legal compliance is non-negotiable in the catering industry, and possessing an up-to-date CP42 proves to local authorities and health and safety inspectors that your kitchen is fit for purpose.Staff safety is always the highest priority. A professional inspection guarantees that your chefs and kitchen porters are working in a safe environment, free from the silent dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning or gas leaks. Furthermore, maintaining an annual CP42 certificate is almost always a mandatory condition of your commercial property and public liability insurance. Without it, any claim relating to a fire or gas incident could be invalidated.Beyond safety and legalities, our detailed inspections frequently identify minor faults before they escalate into costly breakdowns. By highlighting potential efficiency improvements in your catering equipment, we help you lower your energy bills, extend the lifespan of your appliances, and avoid catastrophic equipment failures during your busiest service hours.
