Why Choose Fact Services for Your Gas Interlock Installation?

The Benefits of Professional Gas Interlock Systems

Investing in a professionally installed gas interlock system goes far beyond simply ticking a regulatory box. It provides genuine peace of mind and operational security for your business. First and foremost, it drastically reduces the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, actively protecting the health and wellbeing of your kitchen brigade. By automatically shutting down the gas supply the moment ventilation fails, it acts as a foolproof failsafe during high-pressure service hours.Furthermore, an integrated gas interlock system protects your business from the severe legal and financial repercussions of non-compliance. Without an operational system, you risk instant closure from Environmental Health inspectors or having your insurance policies invalidated in the event of an accident. By choosing Fact Services, you ensure that your commercial kitchen maintenance is handled by definitive local experts, keeping your doors open and your kitchen firing safely.

Local Compliance & Safety Standards

Commercial gas safety is heavily regulated in the UK, and rightly so. As a business owner in Telford, you must adhere strictly to the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. When it comes to commercial catering, the installation of a gas interlock system is a mandatory requirement under BS 6173 and IGEM/UP/19 standards for the vast majority of new kitchens, as well as existing kitchens undergoing significant upgrades or appliance replacements.At Fact Services, our deep technical knowledge of UK Building Regulations and local authority requirements ensures your installation meets every necessary legal benchmark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a gas interlock system a legal requirement for my kitchen?Yes, under BS 6173, an interlock system is a mandatory legal requirement for all new commercial kitchens, and for existing kitchens if you are installing a new canopy, upgrading extraction fans, or adding new gas appliances.What happens if the kitchen extraction fails?If the ventilation fans fail, the air pressure switches or current monitors will detect the drop in airflow. The interlock panel immediately triggers the solenoid valve to close, shutting off the gas supply to your cookers and hobs to prevent the buildup of dangerous carbon monoxide.How long does the installation take?Installation times vary depending on the complexity of your commercial kitchen and existing pipework. However, we meticulously plan our installations to minimise disruption, ensuring your kitchen is up and running as swiftly and safely as possible.

Outstanding 24/7 service!"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our commercial gas interlock system installations and repairs in Wolverhampton & West Midlands.

Do I really need a gas interlock system if I have windows that open?

+

Yes. Under BS 6173, natural ventilation like open windows or doors is not considered a substitute for a mechanical extraction system in a professional kitchen. If you have a mechanical fan, it must be interlocked with the gas supply to ensure fumes are being actively removed while appliances are in use.

What happens if my kitchen fans fail during a busy shift?

+

If your fans stop working, the interlock system will immediately cut the gas supply to your appliances. While this is frustrating during a service, it is a vital safety feature. If this happens, you should check for tripped circuit breakers first. If the fan is definitely broken, you will need a qualified engineer to repair the ventilation before the gas can be turned back on.

Does my interlock system need regular servicing?

+

Yes, it should be checked at least once a year as part of your annual commercial gas safety inspection (CP42). We check that the solenoid valve is opening and closing correctly and that the sensors are accurately detecting airflow. Regular maintenance prevents "nuisance tripping" where the gas cuts out even when the fans are working fine.

How long does it take to install a new system?

+

Most standard kitchen interlock installations can be completed within a single day. We often schedule this work for early mornings or days when the kitchen is closed to make sure we don't get in the way of your chefs.

Can you repair an old interlock system that keeps cutting the gas off?

+

In many cases, yes. It is often a faulty air pressure switch or a sensor that has become clogged with grease. We can diagnose the fault and replace the specific component rather than replacing the whole system, saving you money.
