Across Lancashire
Gas Safe registered experts ensuring full legal compliance and safety for your commercial kitchen.

Our commercial kitchen compliance process is designed to be rigorous, transparent, and completely aligned with UK safety standards. When a WGS Services engineer arrives at your premises, we carry out a comprehensive assessment of your entire gas infrastructure. We take the time to explain our findings clearly, without relying on technical jargon.Appliance Servicing: We inspect all gas-fired catering appliances to ensure they are burning safely, operating at the correct pressure, and properly connected.Ventilation Checks: Proper airflow is critical to prevent carbon monoxide build-up. We assess your extraction canopies and make-up air systems for adequate performance.Interlocking System Testing: We rigorously test gas safety interlocking systems to ensure the gas supply automatically shuts off if the ventilation system fails.Detailed Reporting: Upon completion, we provide your official gas safety records, which are essential for your health and safety audits.

Staying compliant with the law is non-negotiable for commercial catering businesses. Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, employers and business owners must ensure that all gas appliances, flues, and pipework are maintained in a safe condition. This requires an annual inspection by a suitably qualified Gas Safe engineer.Failing to secure your annual CP42 certification can have severe consequences. Not only does it put your kitchen team and customers at risk of gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning, but it can also invalidate your business insurance. Local authority environmental health officers regularly request these certificates during routine inspections.
