FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about CP42 commercial catering gas safety certificates and kitchen inspections in Lancashire.

How often do I need a CP42 certificate?

+

By law, you must have your commercial catering gas appliances inspected every 12 months. However, if you have a high-turnover kitchen, you might choose to have equipment serviced more frequently to prevent breakdowns.

What happens if my kitchen fails the inspection?

+

If we find something unsafe, we have a legal duty to "ID" (Immediately Dangerous) or "AR" (At Risk) the appliance. We will explain exactly what the problem is and give you a quote to fix it. We try to carry common spare parts so we can get you back up and running as fast as possible.

Can any plumber do a CP42 inspection?

+

No. Only a Gas Safe registered engineer with specific commercial catering qualifications (COMCAT) can legally sign off a CP42 certificate. Always ask to see the back of an engineer’s Gas Safe ID card to check their specific qualifications before they start work.

Does a CP42 cover the gas meter and pipework?

+

Yes, a full inspection includes checking the gas installation from the point of entry (the meter) right through to the individual appliances. This makes sure there are no leaks in the "carcass" pipework of the building.

Do I need a CP42 for a mobile catering van?

+

Yes, mobile catering units also require a gas safety certificate. The rules are slightly different, but the need for safety and compliance is just as high. We can provide inspections for mobile units based in the Darwen and Lancashire area.
