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.
