Commercial Gas Safety Certification
Every commercial kitchen with gas appliances needs an annual gas safety inspection. Our Gas Safe registered engineers carry out full CP42 inspections and issue your certificate on the spot — covering appliances, pipework, interlocks and extraction.
Why it matters
Any commercial kitchen running gas-fired ovens, ranges, fryers, griddles or boilers within a mechanical ventilation system must hold a valid CP42 gas safety certificate, renewed every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer. It's the single document insurers, environmental health officers and landlords will ask to see first.
Operating without one — or letting it lapse — risks invalidated insurance, failed EHO inspections, fines of up to £6,000, and in the worst cases prosecution. We build CP42 renewal into your planned maintenance schedule so it never becomes a problem.
Every engineer who carries out a CP42 inspection for R&S Services is individually Gas Safe registered, carries photo ID on every visit, and works to current IGEM/UP19 industry guidance for catering gas safety.

What We Cover
One visit, every check, certificate issued before we leave.
Ovens, ranges, fryers, griddles, boilers and combi steamers — burner, ignition and safety cut-out checks on every gas-fired appliance.
Gas pipework inspected and tightness-tested for leaks, corrosion and correct installation in line with current regulations.
Gas/electrical interlock and ventilation proving systems tested to confirm gas shuts off correctly if extraction fails.
Mechanical ventilation rates checked against appliance heat input to confirm adequate combustion air and extraction.
Your CP42 certificate is completed and handed over on the day, with copies logged for insurance and EHO inspections.
We track your certificate's 12-month expiry and book your next inspection in before it lapses.
