How Our CP42 Certification Works

We understand that downtime in a commercial kitchen impacts your bottom line. That is why our commercial gas inspections are designed to be thorough, efficient, and minimally disruptive to your daily operations.Visual and Technical Inspections: We begin by examining all commercial gas appliances, from industrial cookers and fryers to commercial boilers. We check for correct installation, appropriate ventilation, and general condition.Gas Testing and Analysis: Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we perform rigorous tests to check gas pressure, ensure burner combustion is safe, and verify that there are no leaks within your pipework.Gas Interlock System Checks: If your kitchen relies on forced extraction, we rigorously test your gas interlock system to ensure it shuts off the gas supply safely if the ventilation fails.Detailed Reporting: Once the inspection is complete, we provide a full, detailed report. If your equipment passes, we immediately issue your official CP42 Commercial Gas Safety Certificate. If remedial work is required, we provide transparent, practical advice to get your kitchen compliant as quickly as possible.
