Commercial Catering Gas Safety Certificate London
Request commercial catering gas safety certificate support for London restaurants, takeaways, cafes, pubs, hotels, dark kitchens, staff canteens, mobile catering, LPG catering equipment and managed hospitality premises. This page is the wider catering gas route for customers who may not know whether the request is CP42, LPG, mobile catering, fixed kitchen equipment or another commercial gas record.
- Send your name, number, email and postcode.
- List catering appliances and fuel type.
- Explain kitchen, van, trailer, LPG or venue access.
- Include the certificate wording and deadline.
Send the practical details once
Catering gas enquiries often slow down when the appliance list, fuel type or certificate wording is missing. Send the details at the start so the right commercial gas route can be discussed before an appointment is confirmed.
A wider route than the CP42 page
Use this page when the request is about catering gas safety but the exact certificate name is unclear. CP42 may be the right phrase for many commercial kitchens, but some enquiries involve LPG, mobile catering, landlord-controlled services, boilers, plant, mixed premises or venue-specific paperwork.
Food businesses
Restaurants, cafes, takeaways, pubs, bars and hotels may need catering gas paperwork for annual records, insurance, lease requirements, reopening or handover.
Mobile and event catering
Mobile units can involve LPG cylinders, event rules, venue checks, market requirements, trailer access and different paperwork from a fixed commercial kitchen.
Landlords and managing agents
Commercial landlords, agents and facilities teams should send tenant details, access contacts, certificate wording and who needs the final paperwork.
Managed kitchens and shared sites
Shared kitchens, dark kitchens, hotels, schools, halls and managed buildings may need extra access planning and clear responsibility details before a visit.
Commercial catering gas safety can point to different records
The phrase "commercial catering gas safety certificate" is useful, but it does not always identify the exact paperwork needed. A fixed restaurant kitchen may point towards CP42. A mobile catering trailer may involve LPG details. A hotel or managed site may also have boilers, plant rooms, landlord services or facilities paperwork that needs a different commercial gas route.
To avoid the wrong appointment, send the wording from the insurer, landlord, agent, council, market operator, facilities team or venue. The appliance list and fuel type help confirm what should happen next.
Need the CP42-specific page?
If you already know the request is for CP42 commercial catering gas paperwork, use the CP42 page. If you are unsure, this broader page is the safer starting point.

Real reasons customers ask for catering gas paperwork
The best content for this page is practical because most enquiries are deadline-led. Customers usually need a clear answer before they can renew insurance, open a kitchen, satisfy a landlord or trade at a venue.
Insurance renewal
Send the insurer wording exactly, including whether they ask for CP42, catering gas certificate, LPG record or commercial gas safety certificate.
New lease or handover
Landlords, tenants and agents should confirm who controls the equipment, who can provide access and where the paperwork should be sent.
Opening or reopening
Tell us the planned opening date, fit-out stage, appliance changes and whether gas, extraction, ventilation or interlock notes have been raised.
Mobile catering or venue checks
Provide event, market or venue wording, LPG details, unit type, access times and the deadline before the pitch or event date.
Check competence for commercial catering gas work
Catering gas work should be handled by a suitably registered and competent Gas Safe engineer for the type of equipment and fuel involved. This matters because fixed catering appliances, LPG, mobile units, boilers and non-domestic installations may sit under different categories.

Commercial catering gas safety certificate FAQs
Is this the same as the CP42 page?
No. CP42 is a common route for commercial catering gas equipment, but this broader page also covers LPG, mobile catering, managed kitchens, landlord access, venues and cases where the exact paperwork name is unclear.
What information helps confirm the right catering gas route?
Send your contact details, postcode, business type, appliance list, fuel type, access notes, trading hours, certificate wording and deadline.
Can mobile catering and LPG enquiries start here?
Yes. Include whether the unit is a van, trailer, market stall or event setup, and explain whether it uses LPG cylinders, an LPG tank or other fuel arrangements.
Can a landlord or managing agent arrange the enquiry?
Yes. Send the tenant details, occupier contact, access arrangements, certificate wording, invoice contact and who should receive the final paperwork.
