AAC Gas provide specialist commercial kitchen gas and LPG services across the North of England. Gas Safe registered and based in Higher Walton, Preston, our engineers service, repair, and certify gas installations in restaurants, hotels, pubs, takeaways, care homes, hospitals, schools, and all commercial kitchen operators across Preston, Lancashire, Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire, Cumbria, Yorkshire, and all surrounding areas.

Every commercial kitchen using gas appliances — whether on mains natural gas or LPG — is legally required to hold a valid CP42 gas safety certificate, renewed annually. This applies regardless of business size, number of covers, or how many appliances are in the kitchen. A single gas fryer in a small takeaway requires the same annual CP42 certification as a full brigade kitchen in a large hotel.

Our Commercial Catering Gas Services

CP42 Commercial Kitchen Gas Safety Certificate

The CP42 is the annually required gas safety certificate for every commercial kitchen across the North of England. Checked by Environmental Health Officers during food business inspections, required by insurers, and reviewed by licensing authorities.Every CP42 inspection includes:

• Inspection of all gas-fired catering appliances — ranges, ovens, fryers, griddles, grills, salamanders, combi ovens, pasta cookers, bratt pans, wok burners, and all other gas catering equipment
• Gas interlock system proving test — verifying correct operation and confirming all interlocked appliances respond correctly to a ventilation failure
• Gas pipework inspection and leak test throughout the kitchen
• Ventilation assessment — adequate mechanical extract verified
• Emergency isolation valve location and operation check
• Gas pressure check at appliances
• Full written CP42 certificate issued on the day of inspection

Flexible scheduling outside kitchen service hours wherever possible. Same-week appointments available across the North of England.

Gas Interlock System Testing & Certification

A gas interlock system automatically cuts the gas supply to kitchen appliances if the ventilation system fails or is not running — a legal requirement for all commercial kitchens. We test, commission, and certify gas interlock systems across the North of England including:

• Annual proving test and full certification
• New gas interlock system installation and commissioning
• Fault diagnosis and repair of existing interlock systems
• System upgrades where older interlocks no longer meet current standards
• Full commissioning documentation and certification

• Commercial ranges and ovens
• Fryers and griddles
• Salamanders and char grills
• Combi ovens and combination steamers
• Pasta cookers and bratt pans
• Commercial wok burners
• Gas-fired hot cupboards and bain maries
• Tandoor and specialist catering equipment
