What is a Gas Safety Certificate?
The CP 42 is a certificate confirming compliance with Gas Safety Regulations, issued by a qualified engineer and valid for one year, requiring annual renewal. As a commercial property owner or manager, you must ensure the safety of gas appliances and flues, including regular servicing and maintenance. A valid CP 42 demonstrates that a registered gas safe engineer has inspected your appliances. Failing to obtain this certificate could lead to legal issues and safety risks, as well as potential costly repairs. Ensure you secure your CP 42 annually to comply with the law.

What Does a Commercial Gas Safety Inspection Include?
A boiler inspection covers all components, including the flue, burner, controls, and related parts. A critical aspect is the boiler flue test, which ensures safe and efficient operation. This test typically uses a gas analyzer to measure Carbon Monoxide (CO) and other gas levels in the flue. The results indicate whether the boiler is functioning safely and if any repairs or adjustments are necessary.
- During a CP42 inspection, our engineer will assess the flue's condition, which is the pipe that vents waste gases from the boiler outside your property.
- A damaged flue can leak toxic carbon monoxide into your home, so ensuring it’s in good condition and properly sealed is crucial. Typically sealed with specialized flue cement, we offer gas safety inspections for commercial boilers at £159.99, with no hidden costs.
- During a commercial gas safety inspection of a hob or cooker, the ignition system, leak integrity, and overall condition are evaluated to ensure safe usage and eliminate any risks.
- For optimal safety, a boiler flue should be at least 12 inches from any openable windows to prevent gas fumes from entering your home. If you're due for a gas safety inspection, we can check this distance and, if necessary, extend the flue to ensure compliance and issue a pass for your Commercial Gas Safety Certificate (CP42).
