Commercial Catering Gas, LPG & Kitchen Plumbing in West Lothian

Commercial kitchen gas services

A commercial kitchen depends on more than the appliance flame. Appliances, pipework, ventilation, extraction, flame supervision, emergency isolation, gas interlocks and air-proving controls must operate together correctly. We inspect the agreed installation, explain any defects and provide clear options for eligible remedial work.

• Commercial catering gas safety inspections and records, commonly called CP42
• Catering appliance installation, connection and commissioning within registered scope
• Appliance servicing, repairs and fault diagnosis
• Natural gas and LPG catering enquiries
• Gas pipework, isolation, tightness testing and remedial work within registered scope
• Gas interlock and air-proving system testing and fault diagnosis
• Planned maintenance for appliances and associated gas-safety controls

Catering appliances and gas systems

We welcome enquiries involving fixed commercial ranges, ovens, grills, fryers, griddles, tandoori ovens, water heaters and other catering appliances. We can also assess associated gas pipework, isolation, flame-failure devices, interlocks and air-proving arrangements. Acceptance is subject to the appliance, fuel and installation categories required for the work.

Commercial kitchen plumbing and hot water

Alongside catering gas, we can help with suitable kitchen plumbing and hot-water work so managers have one point of contact for more of the premises:

• Leaks and hot- or cold-water pipework repairs
• Kitchen sinks, taps, pre-rinse units and wash-up plumbing
• Water isolation valves and eligible pipework alterations
• Commercial water heaters and associated hot-water controls
• Hot-water cylinder enquiries within qualified scope
• General commercial plumbing, heating and plant-room support through our commercial plumbing and heating service

Gas interlocks, air proving and ventilation

In suitable commercial catering installations, the gas supply and mechanical ventilation must work together so gas cannot be used without the required airflow or safety conditions. We can inspect and test suitable gas interlock and air-proving arrangements, diagnose faults and quote eligible remedial work.

The gas-safety assessment considers the relevant relationship between appliances, extraction and safety controls. It does not automatically include specialist ventilation design, canopy cleaning, ductwork cleaning or separate extraction-system certification unless specifically included in writing.

Natural gas and LPG catering

We handle suitable natural-gas and LPG commercial catering enquiries. Fixed kitchens, mobile catering units and temporary installations can require different work categories, so please send the installation type, appliance data plates and fuel details before booking. Mobile catering work is accepted only after its precise scope has been confirmed.

Restaurants, takeaways and venues we support

We welcome suitable enquiries from restaurants, cafés, takeaways, pubs, hotels, schools, care facilities, community kitchens and other hospitality or food-service premises. Our core area is West Lothian, including Bathgate, Livingston, Whitburn, Armadale, Broxburn, Linlithgow and West Calder. Work across wider Central Scotland is available by arrangement.

What to send before we attend

• Site name, postcode and best on-site contact
• Natural gas or LPG, and whether the kitchen is fixed or mobile
• Number, make and model of each appliance
• Clear photographs of every appliance data plate
• Photographs of the canopy or extraction, interlock panel and emergency isolation
• Current safety record and details of any known fault
• Any kitchen plumbing, hot-water or planned-maintenance requirements

Commercial catering gas FAQs

What is a CP42 certificate?

CP42 is the commonly used industry name for a commercial catering gas safety inspection record. The engineer records the agreed appliances and installation checks, together with any defects or actions required. The precise record and scope depend on the premises and equipment.

How often should a commercial kitchen be inspected?

Inspection and maintenance intervals depend on the equipment, manufacturer instructions, risk assessment and applicable legal, landlord and insurer requirements. Many businesses plan regular or annual reviews; we can help define a suitable schedule after assessing the installation.

Is the price always £175?

£175 is the starting price. Installation size, appliance count, fuel, installation type, access and additional testing affect the final quotation. Remedial work and replacement parts are separate unless expressly included.

Can you issue a record if a defect is found?

We must record and act on the installation as found. Unsafe defects cannot be ignored. We explain the findings, take any safety action required and quote eligible remedial work.

Does the inspection cover extraction and the gas interlock?

The gas-safety assessment considers the relevant relationship between appliances, ventilation, extraction and safety controls. It does not automatically include specialist ventilation design, canopy cleaning or ductwork certification.

Can you work on LPG catering equipment?

Suitable LPG work can be accepted where the registered categories cover the appliance, fuel and installation type. Send details and photographs first so we can confirm.

Do you provide 24/7 emergency attendance?

We do not advertise a 24/7 service. Urgent daytime enquiries are assessed subject to availability.
