What happens during a commercial gas safety inspection?

Our testing process is meticulous, transparent, and designed to identify potential hazards before they become serious problems. When our engineers visit your Atherton premises, we evaluate your entire gas infrastructure.Visual inspections: We check all gas appliances, pipework, and flues for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks.Performance testing: We measure gas pressure and heat input to ensure appliances are operating at safe, optimal levels.Ventilation checks: Proper airflow is essential to prevent carbon monoxide build-up. We verify that your ventilation systems meet current standards.Safety device tests: We test all safety mechanisms, including interlock systems in commercial kitchens, to guarantee they function correctly.Once the inspection is complete, we provide you with detailed documentation and a comprehensive breakdown of any necessary commercial gas installations or repairs.

Meeting your legal obligations under UK law

Staying on the right side of the law is non-negotiable when it comes to commercial gas usage. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, employers and landlords are legally required to maintain safe gas appliances and arrange annual inspections. Failure to do so can result in hefty fines, invalidated commercial insurance policies, and serious safety risks.By partnering with WGS Services, you take the guesswork out of compliance. We issue recognised landlord gas safety records and commercial certificates that prove you have taken the necessary steps to protect your building. If you are managing multiple properties or larger plant rooms, we can also assist with CP15 and CP16 certifications.

Catering businesses face unique gas safety challenges due to the heavy usage of commercial ovens, fryers, and extraction systems.

This document proves that your catering gas equipment has been tested and deemed safe by a qualified professional.Our commercial catering gas engineers specialise in CP42 assessments.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our commercial gas safety testing and CP42 certification services in Lancashire.

Will I have to turn off my gas during the test?

+

Yes, we will need to turn off the gas supply for a short period to perform a "tightness test." This checks that there are no leaks in your pipework. We always try to do this at a time that causes the least amount of trouble for your business.

What happens if an appliance fails the safety test?

+

If we find something that is unsafe, we are legally required to disconnect that specific appliance or the whole gas supply, depending on the severity of the fault. However, our first priority is always to get you back up and running. We will explain the fault clearly and provide a quote to repair it as quickly as possible.

How often do I need a CP42 certificate?

+

You are required by law to have your commercial catering equipment inspected and certified every 12 months. It is a good idea to book your next inspection a few weeks before your current certificate expires to make sure you stay compliant.

Do you cover areas outside of Darwen?

+

Yes, we cover a 20-mile radius from our base in Darwen. This includes towns like Blackburn, Preston, Bolton, Burnley, and Chorley. If you are unsure if we cover your area, just give us a call.
