AAC Gas provide specialist commercial kitchen gas and LPG services across Lancashire. 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 workplace canteens across every part of the county — from Blackburn, Burnley, and East Lancashire to Bolton, Wigan, and South Lancashire, from Blackpool and the Fylde Coast to Lancaster, Morecambe, and North Lancashire.
Lancashire has one of the most diverse commercial kitchen sectors in the North West. Blackpool alone — one of the UK's most visited seaside resorts — has a concentration of hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, and catering operations that rivals many city centres for CP42 certification demand. Add to that the restaurants and hospitality venues across Blackburn, Burnley, Bolton, and Wigan town centres, the care home and school catering sector spread across every Lancashire borough, and the workplace canteens at major employers across the county's industrial estates — and Lancashire represents a significant and ongoing demand for specialist commercial kitchen gas services.

The CP42 is the annually required gas safety certificate for every commercial kitchen across Lancashire. It covers all gas appliances — ranges, ovens, fryers, grills, salamanders, pasta cookers, bratt pans, combi ovens, and all other gas-fired catering equipment — together with the gas interlock system, ventilation, and gas pipework throughout the kitchen.
CP42 certification is a legal requirement for every commercial kitchen in Lancashire — checked by Environmental Health Officers during food business inspections, required by insurers, and reviewed by hotel operators, care home managers, and institutional catering managers across the county. Our Gas Safe engineers carry out CP42 inspections across Lancashire with minimum disruption, scheduling outside service hours wherever possible. Certificates issued on the day of inspection.
A gas interlock system automatically cuts the gas supply to kitchen appliances if the ventilation system fails or is not running — a legal requirement under current Building Regulations for all commercial kitchens. We test, commission, and certify gas interlock systems across Lancashire — verifying correct operation, confirming all interlocked appliances respond 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 reduces the risk of breakdown during busy service periods, extends equipment life, and maintains safe, efficient operation. Our engineers service all types of gas-fired catering equipment across Lancashire including:
We work across all major catering equipment brands including Rational, Falcon, Blue Seal, Hobart, Electrolux Professional, Lincat, MKN, and all other commercial catering manufacturers.
When a gas appliance fails mid-service at a Blackpool hotel kitchen, a Blackburn restaurant, a Bolton care home, or any commercial kitchen across Lancashire, every minute matters. Our engineers provide fast-response commercial kitchen gas repairs across Lancashire — 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 out gas pipework installation, alteration, and testing for commercial kitchens across Lancashire — including new appliance connections, kitchen reconfigurations, pipework alterations during kitchen refurbishments, and full gas tightness testing. All work carried out to current Gas Safe standards and fully documented on completion.
Rural Lancashire has a significant number of commercial kitchens operating on LPG rather than mains gas — particularly rural pubs, country inns, farm shops, holiday parks, and off-gas-grid commercial premises across the Ribble Valley, Forest of Bowland, and rural areas across the county. Our engineers are fully qualified to service, repair, and certify LPG gas installations in commercial kitchens across Lancashire — including bulk LPG supply systems, cylinder manifold installations, and all LPG-fired catering appliances. CP42 certification for LPG kitchens issued on the day.
All new gas catering equipment installed in a Lancashire commercial kitchen must be connected and commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We handle new appliance gas connections and commissioning across Lancashire — 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.
A gas fault in a commercial kitchen forces an immediate shutdown. Our engineers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency commercial kitchen gas call-outs across all areas of Lancashire. Call 01772 382971 at any time.

Staff canteens and workplace restaurants at large employers across Lancashire's industrial and commercial sector — including the manufacturing operations along the M65 corridor and the logistics sector across Bolton and Wigan — require regular CP42 certification and gas appliance maintenance.
