Any business with a commercial kitchen requires a CP42 certificate, including: 

• Restaurants and Cafés 

• Takeaways and Food Trucks 

• Hotels, Event Venues, and Schools 

A CP42 gas certificate must be renewed every 12 months, or sooner if: 

• New appliances are installed. 

• The gas system is modified.  

• Annual CP42 inspections are required to: 
• Prevent gas leaks and carbon monoxide risks. 
• Ensure proper ventilation and system functionality. 
• Comply with UK gas safety laws for commercial kitchens. 

• Blocked Ventilation: Grease buildup restricts airflow. 

• Faulty Interlocks: Automatic shut-off devices fail during emergencies. 

• Gas Leaks: Poorly installed or outdated pipework can cause risks. 

• Pricing starts at £120 for single kitchens. Custom quotes are available for: 

  • Kitchens with multiple appliances. 
  • Large or complex gas systems. 

• Without a CP42 certificate, your business risks: 

  • Fines or Closure: Non-compliance with gas safety regulations. 
  • Insurance Issues: Claims may be denied for gas-related incidents. 
  • Safety Hazards: Faulty systems increase the risk of gas leaks or fires.
