The CP42 is the annually required gas safety certificate for every commercial kitchen across Cheshire. It covers all gas appliances β ranges, ovens, fryers, grills, salamanders, pasta cookers, bratt pans, combi ovens, and all other gas-fired catering equipment β together with the gas interlock system, ventilation, and gas pipework throughout the kitchen.CP42 certification is a legal requirement for every commercial kitchen in Cheshire. It is routinely checked by Environmental Health Officers during food business inspections, required by insurers, and forms part of the compliance documentation reviewed by hotel operators, care home managers, school caterers, and institutional catering managers across the county.Our Gas Safe engineers carry out CP42 inspections across Cheshire with minimum disruption β scheduling outside service hours wherever possible. Certificates issued on the day of inspection, clearly documented and ready for audit.
A gas interlock system automatically cuts the gas supply to kitchen appliances if the ventilation system fails or is not running. Gas interlock systems are a legal requirement under current Building Regulations and gas safety standards for commercial kitchens.We test, commission, and certify gas interlock systems across Cheshire β verifying correct operation of the proving sequence, confirming all interlocked appliances respond correctly to a ventilation failure, and issuing the required certification. We also repair and replace faulty interlock systems and advise on upgrades where older systems no longer meet current standards.
Regular servicing of commercial catering appliances extends equipment life, reduces the risk of breakdown during busy service periods, and maintains safe, efficient operation. Our engineers service all types of gas-fired catering equipment across Cheshire including:
We work across all major catering equipment brands including Rational, Falcon, Blue Seal, Hobart, Electrolux Professional, Lincat, MKN, Henny Penny, and all other commercial catering manufacturers.
When a gas appliance fails mid-service at a Chester restaurant, a Knutsford hotel kitchen, or a Crewe care home, every minute matters. Our engineers provide fast-response commercial kitchen gas repairs across Cheshire β diagnosing faults on all types of gas catering equipment and carrying out efficient repairs to restore your kitchen to full operation as quickly as possible. We carry commonly required parts and aim to complete repairs on the first visit wherever possible.

Not all commercial kitchens across Cheshire are connected to the mains gas network. Rural Cheshire has a significant number of commercial premises β including country house hotels, rural pubs, farm shops, equestrian facilities, and agricultural commercial buildings β that operate on LPG.

CP42 certification for LPG commercial kitchens issued on the day.
All new gas catering equipment installed in a Cheshire commercial kitchen must be connected and commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Our team handles new appliance gas connections and commissioning across Cheshire β ensuring correct gas pressure, safe operation, and issuing the required Gas Safe documentation. We work alongside kitchen fit-out contractors and equipment suppliers to ensure installations are completed safely and on schedule.
