How Our Commercial Gas Safety Inspection Works

Securing your CP42 certificate involves a rigorous, step-by-step testing process designed to identify any potential faults before they become dangerous or costly. Our commercial gas safety inspections follow a strict protocol:Visual & Physical Inspections: We assess the condition of all gas catering appliances, looking for signs of wear, corrosion, or incorrect installation.Gas Tightness Testing: We check your entire commercial gas pipework for tiny leaks or pressure drops, ensuring absolute gas tightness across the system.Ventilation & Flue Checks: Commercial kitchens require adequate airflow. We conduct flue flow checks and CO2 analysis to confirm that harmful combustion gases are safely extracted away from your staff.Safety Device Testing: We test all flame failure devices and gas interlock systems to guarantee the gas supply automatically shuts off in the event of an extraction failure or flame loss.Certification Issue: Upon successful completion, we issue your official CP42 certificate detailing all appliances checked, any advisory notes, and confirmation of legal compliance.If we discover an appliance that fails to meet safety standards, we will immediately inform you, safely isolate the equipment if necessary, and provide a clear, competitive quote for the required commercial gas repairs.

Local Compliance & Safety Standards for Commercial Kitchens

Navigating commercial gas regulations can feel overwhelming, but Fact Services takes the stress out of compliance. We ensure your premises strictly adhere to the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, as well as relevant sections of the UK Building Regulations (such as Part J and Part F regarding ventilation). Furthermore, we ensure your kitchen setup meets the requirements often scrutinised by Stafford Borough Council's environmental health and building control officers.A critical area of local compliance in modern commercial kitchens is the integration of Gas Interlock Systems. Under BS 6173 regulations, any commercial kitchen featuring power-operated extraction must have an interlock system fitted. Our engineers are highly experienced in testing and installing these systems, ensuring your gas supply is instantly restricted if your extraction canopy fails, directly protecting your staff from the build-up of dangerous gases.
