CP42 Commercial Gas Safety Certificates
If you own or manage commercial premises with gas appliances, a CP42 certificate is your legal record that gas installations and appliances have been inspected and meet safety standards. We provide comprehensive CP42 commercial gas safety certification across the North East for all types of business premises. As a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for commercial work, we carry out thorough inspections of your gas systems, identify any issues, and provide detailed certification for your compliance records.
A CP42 certificate (also known as a Commercial Gas Safety Record) is similar to the domestic CP12 landlord certificate but covers the more complex requirements of commercial premises. It's a legal requirement for businesses, and failure to maintain valid certification can result in serious penalties, insurance invalidation, and most importantly, puts people at risk. We make the certification process straightforward, completing thorough inspections with minimal disruption to your business operations.
