Commercial Catering Gas Safety

In our opinion, commercial catering gas is the most neglected area in the gas industry. Some shocking installations are out there for various reasons, and a significant amount of outdated appliances are still in use.

We have connections with Chinese takeaways and restaurants in this country, and we are experienced in commercial catering gas — from installation, to maintenance and to inspection.

We don't overkill, and we don't overlook any defects.

Common Failed Areas in a Commercial Catering Inspection

Make-up air must be from a permanent source direct from outside — openable doors or windows are not counted
Emergency gas cut-off is required for all commercial catering kitchens
Gas leaks are easily found in frequently-used gas appliances, particularly on isolation valves
Enclosed burners without FSD (flame supervision device) can still be found on old ovens — they are not allowed any more

Charges

We have a callout charge for all commercial catering gas safety visits at £90 + VAT per visit. Full inspection from £250 + VAT for a takeaway and from £350 + VAT for a restaurant.

Based on our experience, more than half of the catering kitchens will fail on first visits.
