Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is a gas interlock system, and is it a legal requirement?
A: A gas interlock system is a safety device that ensures the gas supply to commercial catering equipment cannot be turned on unless the kitchen's ventilation and extraction system is operating correctly. Under British Standards (BS 6173) and Gas Safety Regulations, commercial kitchens using open-flame equipment must have an operational gas interlock system installed.
Q: What areas do Ventam Systems cover?
A: Our headquarters are located in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Our field engineers cover all of Essex (including Chelmsford, Brentwood, and Southend) as well as Greater London (East, North, and Central London boroughs).
Q: Do you provide free quotes for commercial ventilation?
A: Yes. Ventam Systems offers free initial site visits, consultations, and no-obligation quotations for businesses within our service region.
