CP42 Commercial Catering Gas Certificate London
Request CP42 commercial catering gas certificate support for restaurants, cafes, takeaways, pubs, hotels, commercial kitchens and managed food premises across London. Send the postcode, catering appliance list, fuel type, kitchen access, trading hours and certificate deadline so the correct commercial gas route can be confirmed by phone or email.
CP42 is commonly requested for commercial catering gas appliances. It is most relevant when the enquiry involves a restaurant, cafe, takeaway, pub kitchen, hotel kitchen, dark kitchen or other commercial food premises with gas cooking equipment.
Have these details ready before you enquire
A CP42 enquiry is easier to confirm when the kitchen and appliance details are clear. Send the key information once, then we can confirm the suitable appointment route by phone or email.
CP42 enquiries for food businesses and commercial kitchens
This page is written for customers who need practical commercial catering gas paperwork, not a vague certificate page. It helps when the person asking for the record has used the words CP42, catering gas certificate or commercial kitchen gas safety certificate.
Restaurants and cafes
Useful for annual records, insurance renewals, lease requirements, landlord requests, managing agent compliance files and kitchen reopening deadlines.
Takeaways and dark kitchens
Send cooking line details, extract notes if known, LPG or mains gas information, opening hours and whether access needs to be outside service times.
Pubs, bars and hotels
Relevant where the premises has a gas catering kitchen, breakfast service, event kitchen, staff kitchen or tenant-operated food area.
Managed catering premises
Helpful for landlords, property managers, facilities teams and agents who need clear paperwork before a handover, renewal or tenant opening.
CP42 is not the right route for every commercial gas enquiry
CP42 is commonly linked to commercial catering gas appliances. If the request is about a boiler room, water heater, office, shop, warehouse, landlord-controlled pipework, plant room or mixed-use building, the correct route may be CP17, CP15, CP16, commercial boiler paperwork, LPG paperwork or another site-specific commercial gas record.
If you are unsure, send the exact wording from the person requesting the certificate. The appliance list, fuel type, site use and reason for the paperwork matter more than the name typed into a search engine.
What we can route from this enquiry
CP42 commercial catering gas, CP17 commercial gas safety, CP15 and CP16 requests, commercial boiler or plant enquiries, LPG-related catering enquiries and wider commercial gas certificate questions can all start from the main commercial gas form.

Commercial catering gas work needs the right competence
Commercial catering gas work should be handled by a suitably registered and competent Gas Safe engineer for the type of appliance, fuel and premises involved. This is especially important for busy kitchens where cooking appliances, ventilation, extraction, interlocks, access restrictions and trading deadlines can all affect the visit.
The quickest route is to provide the appliance list and certificate wording upfront. If your request includes LPG, a mobile catering unit, specialist catering equipment or a separate boiler or plant room, include that detail before an appointment is confirmed.
Need an urgent certificate?
Send the form and call if the deadline is linked to opening, insurance renewal, a landlord handover, a managing agent request or a kitchen reopening. The call helps make the urgency clear.
