Commercial Kitchen Installation
Specialist Commercial Kitchen Installers in London
Here’s the thing: commercial kitchen installation is a specialist job. It’s not something a regular builder or shopfitter can do properly, even if they say they can.
And especially not in London, where everything from extraction to waste disposal needs to tick the right boxes.
We’re talking health and safety, fire regulations, local council rules—the whole lot. We’ve fitted kitchens in cafés, pubs, food trucks, bakeries, school canteens, and full-scale restaurants across London.
And no matter the space, it always comes down to three things: compliance, efficiency, and durability. You don’t want staff bumping elbows in a rush.
You don’t want a dodgy extractor setting off the fire alarm every other day. And you definitely don’t want to dismantle everything again in six months because the specification wasn’t right.
That’s why we do things properly from day one. Contact us today at +44 7707-603 548 to get started.
A commercial kitchen needs to run like clockwork under pressure, and the installations need to be solid—no shortcuts, no unprepared work.
Site visit and walk-through
We come out, take measurements, look at the building setup (gas, electrics, ventilation access), and talk about what you’re cooking, how many staff you’ve got, and what kind of volume you’re expecting.
Plan the layout properly
You don’t want to be crossing prep with wash-up or have your chefs bottlenecked at the pass. We design the layout based on your flow and the rules you’ve got to follow—especially if you’re going for an EHO-approved rating.
Specification and Cost Agreement
Once the plan’s right, we will give you a full quote—no vague estimates. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, what’s included, and how long it’ll take.
Full installation by our team
We don’t outsource team members. We have our commercial kitchen installation experts—who are experienced in working in busy restaurants, awkward spaces, tight timelines, and all the London-specific rules.
Final checks, sign-off, and compliance
When it’s done, we don’t just hand it over and hope for the best. We check everything, run through the kitchen with you, and make sure it’s compliant—ventilation, fire safety, water, drainage, the lot.

What are the rules for commercial kitchen installations in the UK?
You’ll need to meet health and safety regulations (Food Safety Act 1990), hygiene rules, fire safety laws, building regulations, and environmental health guidelines. Think: proper extraction, handwashing stations, non-slip flooring, safe electrics and gas safety.
What’s the difference between a catering kitchen and a commercial kitchen?
Not much, really. Catering kitchens usually refer to off-site setups (like delivery-only units or food prep spaces), but they’re both commercial in nature and need the same level of compliance.
How do you arrange a commercial kitchen?
Based on workflow. You want clear zones for prep, cooking, plating, and cleaning. It depends on your menu, the number of staff, and the space available. We’ll design it for efficiency and hygiene.
How long does a commercial kitchen last?
If it’s built right and maintained, easily 10–15 years. Some equipment will need replacing earlier (like dishwashers), but the shell and layout should last you a good while.
Do you need two sinks in a commercial kitchen?
Yes—at least. One for washing equipment and one for handwashing. Some setups need a third for food preparation. It depends on what you’re serving.
What kind of walls are required in a commercial kitchen?
Walls must be smooth, non-absorbent, and easy to clean. Usually that means hygienic wall cladding—PVC panels, stainless steel, or specialist tiles. No paint, no standard plaster.
Do you need ventilation in a commercial kitchen?
Does a commercial kitchen need a dishwasher?
Technically, no, but it’s highly recommended—especially if you’re serving food on-site. It saves labour and helps meet hygiene standards
Can you use domestic appliances in a commercial kitchen?
You can, but you really shouldn’t. They’re not built for constant use and will likely fail or void your insurance. Stick with commercial-grade appliances.
What’s the minimum size for a commercial kitchen?
No fixed rule, but you need enough space for safe movement, zoning, and proper ventilation. Small kitchens work—you just need smart planning.
What’s the best flooring for a commercial kitchen?
Non-slip, waterproof, and easy to clean. Think safety vinyl, resin, or quarry tiles. Domestic flooring won’t cut it.
