What a commercial catering gas visit may cover
A catering inspection considers the gas appliances listed for the visit and the kitchen conditions in which they operate. The engineer should confirm the checks needed for your installation, including the relevant ventilation, flame supervision and other gas safety controls.
- Gas ovens, ranges, hobs, grills, fryers and catering equipment.
- Visible pipework, connections, isolation and safe operation checks.
- Flues, kitchen ventilation, extraction and any gas interlock relevant to safe appliance use.
- Results for the inspected catering equipment, restrictions on use and any checks left incomplete.
Appliance servicing, repairs, extraction cleaning and a full ventilation design assessment need their own agreed scope. This does not exclude the ventilation or interlock checks needed to assess the safety of the gas installation.

Commercial kitchen gas guidance
HSE guidance explains that poorly installed or maintained gas appliances can create risks including fire, explosion, gas leaks and carbon monoxide. It also says gas work in workplaces such as shops and restaurants must be carried out by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.
Cost and booking guidance
Commercial catering gas certificate pricing depends on appliance count, fuel type, access, kitchen condition, travel, deadline and whether remedial work is needed. Send the appliance list first so we can confirm the likely booking route before attendance.
- One small kitchen is usually simpler to scope than a large multi-appliance site.
- Urgent trading, venue or insurer deadlines should be mentioned in the first enquiry.
- Repairs, replacement parts and a return inspection may add to the cost; agree those charges before booking further work.

Commercial catering gas certificate FAQs
Short answers before you call or send the quote form.
What is a commercial catering gas certificate?
It is paperwork issued after a suitably qualified gas engineer checks the relevant commercial catering gas installation and appliances. The exact certificate or record depends on the site, appliances and work being carried out.
What does a CP42 catering gas inspection record cover?
CP42 is a form reference for commercial catering gas safety inspections. It records checks on catering appliances and the kitchen environment, including relevant ventilation and safety controls. Tell us if your landlord or insurer specifically requests CP42 so the document and inspection scope can be confirmed for your kitchen.
Who can carry out commercial catering gas work?
For workplaces such as restaurants and shops, HSE guidance says gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is qualified for the work. Always check the engineer is registered and qualified for the appliance type.
What details do you need before booking?
Send the premises postcode, business type, appliance list, fuel type, previous certificate if available, access contact, parking notes and any landlord, venue or insurer deadline.
What paperwork do I receive if a catering appliance is unsafe?
The inspection record should identify the affected catering equipment, the findings and anything that could not be checked. Where an unsafe situation requires a warning notice, the engineer should provide one and explain the restrictions on use. Keep unsafe equipment out of use until it has been made safe. Repairs and further checks may be needed for a satisfactory result.
Do you cover LPG catering equipment too?
Yes, Upkeepone handles LPG catering certificate enquiries as well as natural gas commercial kitchen enquiries. Send the appliance list and fuel type so the correct route can be confirmed.
