Manchester has one of the most active hospitality and food service sectors in the UK — from the Northern Quarter's independent restaurants and Deansgate's hotel kitchens to the large-scale catering operations at hospitals, care homes, and university campuses across Greater Manchester. Every commercial kitchen in that sector has a legal obligation to maintain valid CP42 gas safety certification and keep its gas systems in safe, compliant working order.

Supported facilities:
The CP42 is the legally required annual gas safety certificate for commercial kitchens. It covers all gas appliances within the kitchen — ranges, ovens, fryers, grills, salamanders, pasta cookers, bratt pans, combi ovens, and any other gas-fired catering equipment — along with the gas interlock system, ventilation, and gas pipework.CP42 certification is a legal requirement for any business operating a commercial kitchen in the UK. It is routinely checked by Environmental Health Officers during food business inspections, required by insurers, and forms part of the compliance documentation required by hotel chains, care home operators, and institutional catering managers.Our Gas Safe engineers carry out CP42 inspections across Manchester with minimum disruption to your kitchen operation — scheduling inspections outside service hours wherever possible. Certificates are issued on the day of inspection, clearly documented and ready for audit.
A gas interlock system — also known as a gas proving system or kitchen gas interlock — is a safety device that automatically cuts the gas supply to kitchen appliances if the ventilation system is not running or fails. 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 Manchester — verifying correct operation of the proving sequence, checking all interlocked appliances respond correctly to a ventilation failure, and issuing the required certification. We also repair and replace faulty interlock systems and can advise on upgrades where older systems no longer meet current standards.
Regular servicing of commercial catering appliances extends equipment life, maintains efficiency, and reduces the risk of breakdowns during busy service periods. Our engineers service all types of gas-fired catering equipment including:
We work on all major catering equipment brands including Rational, Falcon, Blue Seal, Hobart, Electrolux Professional, Lincat, MKN, Henny Penny, Manitowoc, and all other commercial catering manufacturers.
When a gas appliance fails mid-service, every minute matters. Our engineers provide fast response commercial kitchen gas repairs across Manchester — diagnosing faults on ranges, ovens, fryers, grills, and all other gas catering equipment and carrying out efficient repairs to get your kitchen back operational as quickly as possible. We carry commonly required parts and can often complete repairs on the first visit.
We carry out gas pipework installation, alteration, and testing for commercial kitchens across Manchester — including new appliance connections, kitchen reconfigurations, pipework alterations during kitchen refits, and full gas tightness testing. All pipework work is carried out to current Gas Safe standards and fully documented.
Not all Manchester commercial kitchens are connected to the mains gas network — some venues, particularly in older city centre buildings and rural Greater Manchester locations, operate on LPG. Our engineers are fully qualified to service, repair, and certify LPG gas installations in commercial kitchens, including bulk LPG supply systems, cylinder manifold installations, LPG pipework, and all LPG-fired catering appliances.We carry out CP42 certification for LPG kitchens and can advise on LPG system upgrades, safety improvements, and conversions.
When new catering equipment is installed in a Manchester kitchen, it must be connected and commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Our team handles new appliance gas connections and commissioning across Greater Manchester — 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 or emergency in a commercial kitchen can force a restaurant, hotel, or care home kitchen to shut down immediately. Our engineers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency commercial kitchen gas call-outs across Manchester and Greater Manchester. Whether it's a gas smell, a failed interlock system, or a critical appliance breakdown, call 01772 382971 and we'll respond as fast as possible.
