Why domestic tickets are not enough
A domestic Gas Safe engineer is not qualified to work on commercial catering equipment, and the certificate they issue does not cover it. Plenty of West London kitchens find this out when an insurer, an environmental health officer or a landlord asks for paperwork and what they have got does not match the appliances in the kitchen.
We hold the commercial catering tickets alongside the domestic ones, which is uncommon among small firms and means one engineer can cover a takeaway with a flat above it rather than you booking two.
What we cover
Six-burner ranges, salamanders and grills, deep fat fryers, boiling tops, pasta boilers and tandoors, plus the gas pipework and isolation serving them. We check gas soundness, appliance pressures, ventilation rates, and the gas interlock system that shuts the gas down if the extraction is not running, which is the item most often found faulty or bypassed during an inspection.
Certificates and inspections
Commercial premises need a gas safety record for insurance and for environmental health, and the responsibility sits with whoever controls the premises. We carry out the inspection, issue the record, and give you a clear list of anything that needs putting right, priced separately with no obligation.
If you are converting a domestic property into a commercial kitchen, or changing the gas supply to serve catering appliances, that changeover is exactly what the CODC1 qualification covers.

Common questions
Do you cover takeaways and restaurants?
Yes, along with cafés, pub kitchens, schools and canteens across West London. Anything running commercial catering appliances on natural gas.
How often does a commercial kitchen need a gas safety check?
Annually as a minimum, and most insurers and environmental health officers expect to see a current record. Heavily used kitchens are often better served by checking more frequently.
Can you work outside service hours?
Yes. Most kitchen work is better done outside covers, and we will fit around your opening times where we can.
What is a gas interlock and do I need one?
It is a system that cuts the gas supply if the kitchen ventilation is not running, and it is required in commercial kitchens. It is also the thing most commonly found disabled, which is a serious failure on any inspection.
Can you convert a domestic gas supply for catering appliances?
Yes, that is what CODC1 covers. We will assess whether the existing supply and meter can carry the load before quoting.
