A CP42 gas safety certificate in London documents that your commercial catering gas installation was inspected by a competent Gas Safe engineer and found safe at the time of test—or lists defects that must be fixed before gas is used again.
Who must hold a CP42 certificate
Responsible persons for restaurants, cafes, takeaways, pubs with kitchens, hotels, contract caterers, schools and any fixed commercial kitchen using gas should maintain valid inspection records. Landlords letting units with commercial kitchens often require proof before handover. Insurers may ask for copies after a claim or renewal.
What the inspection covers
- Gas appliances and burner stability
- Pipework, valves and emergency controls
- Ventilation and extraction performance
- Gas interlock operation where fitted
- Flue routes and combustion air
- Labelling and user safety information
Booking a CP42 visit in London
Allow access to all appliances, plant rooms and roof fans. Clear storage blocking vents or interlock sensors. We confirm pricing from £150 depending on appliance count and travel. Failed items are quoted separately; once rectified, the certificate is completed or re-issued as appropriate.
CP42 and mobile catering
Fixed kitchens use CP42. Trailers and LPG vans use CP44-style mobile catering inspection. If you operate both, schedule both certificate types. Our London catering gas engineers handle either path.
