Staying Compliant with UK Gas Safety Regulations

Navigating commercial gas laws can feel overwhelming, but failing to meet legal standards can result in severe penalties or even the closure of your business. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, employers and commercial landlords are legally required to maintain all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in a safe condition. This includes an annual safety check carried out by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.At WGS Services, we provide the essential CP42 gas safety certificates required to prove your compliance. Whether you need a standard commercial safety record or a landlord gas safety certificate for a commercial property, our DBS-checked team handles everything strictly by the book. We hold robust Public Liability Insurance and are a registered UK company (No: 11855011), giving you complete peace of mind that your compliance is in expert hands.

Specialist Gas Safety for Commercial Catering Businesses

We inspect interlock systems, canopy ventilation, and appliance connections to ensure everything meets rigorous industry standards. Keep your restaurant, pub, or catering facility running smoothly and legally by scheduling your annual gas safety checks before your current certificate expires.

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.
