How Our Mobile Catering LPG Service Works

Our process begins with a comprehensive safety audit of your mobile unit, checking all LPG connections and appliance integrity. We understand that a mobile kitchen faces unique challenges, such as road vibration and tight ventilation spaces, which is why our diagnostic process is incredibly thorough.Initial Visual Inspection: We assess the overall condition of your LPG cylinders, regulators, hoses, and manifold systems to identify any immediate signs of wear, damage, or poor installation.Leak Detection and Pressure Testing: Using advanced equipment, we perform rigorous pressure drops and leak detection tests. This ensures that every pipework joint and appliance connection is completely sound, preventing hazardous leaks.Appliance and Ventilation Checks: Mobile catering units require specific ventilation to safely dissipate combustion gases. We measure airflow and check all flues to ensure they meet the correct standards for your specific commercial cooking equipment.Certification and Handover: Once all checks are completed and any necessary repairs are made, we issue your CP42 gas safety certificate. We also provide clear, practical advice on daily safety checks you can perform yourself.Our goal is to minimise your downtime while maximising safety, ensuring you can return to serving your customers with complete confidence.

Why Choose Fact Services for Mobile Catering LPG & CP42 Certificates?

The Benefits of Professional LPG Servicing

Investing in regular, professional food truck gas safety checks offers far more than just a tick in a compliance box. Operating a mobile kitchen involves working with high-pressure LPG in an enclosed environment, making safety the absolute highest priority.The primary benefit of our LPG trailer service is the prevention of hazardous leaks. By catching failing hoses or deteriorating regulators early, we eliminate the risk of fire or explosion, protecting you, your staff, and your customers. Furthermore, a well-maintained commercial gas system operates much more efficiently, ensuring your cookers, fryers, and water heaters consume less fuel, which ultimately lowers your running costs.Having up-to-date documentation is also a strict requirement for doing business. Most event organisers, festival coordinators, and local authorities demand a valid CP42 certificate before granting trading permits. By partnering with Fact Services, you ensure that you always meet the criteria for local authority trading permits, preventing any last-minute cancellations or lost revenue.Don't wait for a breakdown to disrupt your trading day. Book your mobile kitchen gas testing today by calling 01902 953454.

Local Compliance & Safety Standards

When handling mobile catering LPG in Birmingham, there is absolutely no room for compromise on safety. At Fact Services, we strictly follow the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. These regulations mandate that all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in commercial catering environments are installed and maintained by a competent, registered engineer.We are fully conversant with the specific guidelines set out for mobile catering units, including the UKLPG Code of Practice 24. This covers the safe storage of LPG cylinders, securing pipework against transit vibration, and ensuring adequate low-level and high-level ventilation. Whether you operate a towed trailer or a motorised food van, we ensure your setup adheres to these rigorous national standards.Furthermore, Birmingham City Council and other local authorities in the West Midlands enforce strict street trading regulations. Without a valid CP42 commercial gas safety certificate, you risk hefty fines or the immediate suspension of your trading licence. We provide the essential CP42 certificates required for commercial operations, giving you the documentation necessary to satisfy council inspectors and public liability insurance providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a CP42 certificate and do I need one?A CP42 certificate is the official Commercial Catering Gas Safety Certificate.

"We had a persistent damp patch that another plumber couldn't find the source of.

Outstanding 24/7 service!"

  • Trusted Manufacturers: We work with and install equipment from all major catering brands, ensuring high-quality parts are always used.

How often does my mobile catering van need a gas safety check?

+

Under UK law, you must have your commercial gas equipment inspected at least once every 12 months. This allows you to obtain the CP42 certificate required by local councils, event organisers, and insurance providers. If you move your van frequently, we recommend more regular visual checks on your hoses and connections.

Can I use a domestic gas engineer for my burger van?

+

No. Domestic gas engineers are not usually qualified to work on commercial catering equipment or LPG systems in mobile units. You must use an engineer who has the specific "Commercial Catering" and "LPG" categories listed on the back of their Gas Safe ID card. Fact Services holds all the necessary qualifications for this work.

Do you install gas equipment in new trailer conversions?

+

Yes, we do. We can help you design the gas layout for a new conversion, making sure the pipework is correctly sized and the ventilation meets current safety standards. We then install the appliances and provide the initial certification you need to start trading.
