catering

Been asked to look at a job in a school which involves a cookery classroom which will have six new gas cookers and rest electric , gas supply is in 28 mm and is not being changed but didnt want to give a price and suddenly find out you need a catering ticket for this .

just for the note the gas cookers are not in overly close proximity to each other as are spaced out on one side of the class room , can anyone classify if this could be catering ??

You need a catering ticket. Totally different rules apply especially regards ventilation.

I would class it as Catering and use CP42.

You just reminded me of one of the first jobs i did as an apprentice! Went back to my then "old School" because they smelt gas in the cookery room! Saw my old teacher too!

Besides that I haven't got a clue to the answer you seek H4S

Would this still apply even tho the classroom was previously cookery and ventilation already in place and same amount cookers back in as previous ?
The classroom is basically a decor and new appliances , was doing the plumbing there and suddenly been asked to price cooker connections

Honestly H4S ... I'd consider fitting it and not think of any consequences! However you do raise a valid concern where regs step in! It's a freekin cooker though yeh? Thankfully I have never been involved in installing in such a situation, have however repaired a good few without a thought TBH

Even although it is only swapping cookers, which you could do standing on your head, you still need to check the ventilation is adequate and up to stds, It may be but you can't check it. It may also need an emergency shut off and perhaps a proving system. Gets a bit complicated.
Do you not know anyone who does catering stuff. Maybe get them involved in it and take a cut.

A few years ago most guys would have just done it but things have changed. If anything were to happen it is your rse in the sling.

I totally agree Tam ! Not sure if you need catering quals but it is worth while checking out how many appliances you have and the ventilation needs!

TBH H4S This is for those who know........... I am not one of them
