Our Commercial Catering Gas Services in Preston

CP42 Commercial Kitchen Gas Safety Certificate Preston

The CP42 is the annually required gas safety certificate for every commercial kitchen. 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 Preston and Lancashire. It is checked by Environmental Health Officers during food business inspections, required by insurers, and forms part of the compliance documentation required by hotel operators, care home managers, hospital catering managers, and institutional caterers.As a Preston-based company, we offer fast, flexible CP42 inspections across the city and surrounding areas — scheduling outside service hours wherever possible and issuing certificates on the day of inspection.

Gas Interlock System Testing & Certification Preston

A gas interlock system automatically cuts the gas supply to kitchen appliances if the ventilation system fails or is not operating. Gas interlock systems are a legal requirement under current Building Regulations and gas safety standards for all commercial kitchens.We test, commission, and certify gas interlock systems across Preston and Lancashire — 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.
