Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our commercial CP42 gas safety certificates and compliance testing in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

How often do I need a CP42 certificate?

+

By law, you must have your commercial gas appliances and pipework inspected every 12 months. Some insurance providers or local authorities may require more frequent checks depending on the age and usage of your equipment.

Can any Gas Safe engineer issue a CP42?
