CP42 catering gas FAQs
How often should a commercial kitchen be checked?
Most commercial catering gas installations should be inspected at least once a year, but higher-use sites or insurer requirements may call for more frequent checks.
Do I need a gas interlock system?
Yes — most commercial kitchens are required to have a gas interlock system that shuts off the gas if extraction fails. We’ll confirm your system is present, wired correctly and operating as intended.
Can you work outside normal hours?
Yes. We can attend early morning, late evening or on agreed quieter days to minimise disruption to your service.
Do you provide documentation after the visit?
We provide clear written records of the checks completed, any issues found and any recommended remedial work for your files and compliance needs.
