Your living flame dome oven was a huge investment and is undoubtedly the beating heart of your catering operation. It therefore goes without saying that it needs to be well looked after, with regular services and preventative maintenance, to ensure a long life with as little downtime as possible. But how do you choose the right catering equipment engineer for the important job of keeping your oven working safely and to its full potential? This is the right time to be picky- don’t solicit the services of an engineer unless you are assured they meet these 3 criteria:

‍

1)     They must be Gas Safe registered.

The Gas Safe register started its life as the Corgi register, and it is the UK’s official list of gas engineers who are qualified to work legally on gas appliances. The gas in a living flame oven can be harmful if inhaled and incorrectly installed gas equipment can be incredibly dangerous, so it’s vital it is worked on by a highly trained and accredited engineer. You can head to the Gas Safe Register’s website here to find trustworthy gas safe engineers local to you. Every single one of our engineers is fully Gas Safe qualified so, if you are in the North West England or North Wales area, you can be reassured that they are the right people to service and maintain your gas oven to the highest safety standard.

2)     They must be experts in dome ovens.

You wouldn’t want someone to perform a check up on you if they hadn’t trained as a doctor for many years. The same goes for your dome oven! These ovens are highly intricate and are best serviced and repaired by someone with plentiful prior experience and knowledge in areas such as DEFRA approval, cleaning procedures and correct operation. LLK are a team of pizza professionals who collectively know everything there is to know about the wonderful world of pizza and are dedicated to using their knowledge to support their customers.

3)     They must have quick response times.
