How Our CP42 Commercial Gas Safety Inspection Works

When you book a commercial catering gas inspection with Fact Services, we follow a rigorous, structured diagnostic process to ensure every component of your kitchen is safe and performing optimally. First, our engineers conduct a visual inspection of all gas pipework, isolation valves, and catering appliances.We then perform technical tests, including tightness testing to check for hidden gas leaks, burner pressure checks, and flue flow analysis to ensure harmful emissions are safely extracted. Crucially, we thoroughly test your gas interlock system to confirm that the gas supply automatically shuts off if your ventilation fails. Once all checks are complete, we issue a detailed CP42 certificate. If any faults are found, we provide transparent advice and rapid repair options to minimise disruption to your service.
