Commercial Catering Gas Engineers | Andover & Hampshire
CP42 Certificates, Kitchen Interlocks & Emergency Breakdown Specialists
At Andover Gas Engineers, we provide specialist installation, maintenance, and emergency repair services for commercial kitchens across Hampshire, Wiltshire, and Berkshire.
Whether you manage a busy pub, a fine-dining restaurant, a school kitchen, or a residential care home, any disruption to your gas supply costs you money. Our COMCAT-qualified engineers ensure your kitchen operates safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with BS 6173 and the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.
Commercial Kitchen Gas Interlock Systems
It is a legal requirement that all commercial catering environments have a functioning Gas Interlock System. This ensures that gas cannot flow to your appliances unless your mechanical extraction and ventilation systems are fully operational.
We are specialists in the installation, diagnosis, and repair of the industry’s leading interlock and ventilation control panels, including:
-
Merlin (American Gas Safety): The industry standard for commercial kitchen gas safety and ventilation control.
-
Intelligas: High-reliability gas proving and fan interlock systems.
-
S&S Northern: Comprehensive support for both modern and legacy kitchen control panels.
If your panel is flashing a fault code, your extraction fan has failed, or your gas solenoid won't open, our local engineers provide fast, proactive diagnostics to get your kitchen firing again.
Our Core Commercial Catering Services
We don't just "check" appliances; we provide end-to-end support for your entire gas infrastructure:
-
CP42 Gas Safety Certificates: Mandatory annual inspections for all commercial catering equipment. We meticulously test your ovens, ranges, fryers, extraction canopies, and interlocks to keep you legally compliant and fully insured.
-
Emergency Breakdown & Repair: Rapid response for failed gas interlocks, faulty flame failure devices (FFDs), and broken commercial appliances.
-
New Kitchen Gas Installations: Full design and installation of gas pipework, extraction canopies, and safety interlocks for new restaurant builds or major refurbishments.
-
CO2 & Ambient Air Testing: Using advanced gas analysers to ensure your extraction system is successfully removing harmful carbon monoxide (CO) and maintaining a safe environment for your chefs.
