Do you need a qualified mobile catering engineer to test, repair or provide a gas safety certificate for your mobile catering vehicle?
Did you know that it’s a legal requirement for all mobile caterers to have their gas equipment checked, and certified, annually in most cases (or bi-annually for some high-risk installations) to ensure the equipment is safe to operate? These checks must be carried out by an engineer with the appropriate mobile catering qualifications, in addition to, or instead of domestic appliance qualifications).
Mobile catering equipment
It’s a legal requirement to have all equipment installed/inspected by a Gas Safe Engineer. All catering equipment has a CE mark.
Qualified Mobile Catering Engineers – For Peace Of Mind
All attending engineers are Gas Safe Registered and are qualified and trained to work on Commercial Mobile Catering (CMC) trailers and equipment. This means your equipment will be in safe hands, all engineers have experience and working knowledge of both catering and the mobile catering industry.
Suitably Qualified Mobile Catering Professionals
All engineers working on mobile catering equipment should hold an up to date certificate of competence CMC.
Mobile catering (CMC) also requires engineers to hold the appropriate core and appliance assessments e.g
Commercial catering core gas safety (CCCN1)
Natural gas to liquefied petroleum gas changeover (CONGLP1)
Ranges, grills, steam ovens (COMCAT1)
Fracino Coffee Machines (COMCAT2)
Deep fat fryers (COMCAT3)
If the Engineer does not a CMC certificate they are not qualified to work on your catering appliances.
Fitting Equipment
If you require an engineer to fit catering equipment they will have to visit on-site to survey the work that is needed. This cost will vary but will be fair. Only essential work that is needed will be carried out. We do our best to keep costs down for our customers.

Its my first time owning a catering trailer and it was run on all electric this was no good for events, I needed to fit a gas griddle, deep fat fryer and water heater. I phoned many catering people to help me and they wanted extortionate money or they never came back to me except MOBCATER CATERING. I spoke to a great chap called David and he helped me from start to finish he never pushed me into making decisions and even supplied me with all the equipment at a great price, he quoted a price and kept his word. I will always use this company and thank you all for your help.
