Your property brief
Catering Equipment Installation
A new kitchen, menu change or equipment replacement needs more than a suitable floor space. Confirm the intended output, working sequence and peak demand. Equipment that fits physically can still be unsuitable for the available power, gas, water, drainage or extraction.
Discuss this service
What the service can include
The instruction covers equipment positioning, relevant connections, supports and associated property work. It defines removal, commissioning and operating information. Refrigeration, gas, electrical and ventilation interfaces need the appropriate specialist scope rather than being left to the delivery team.
We provide every service in our catalogue, including the individual services within each trade, for all sectors and locations listed on this website. Tell us what your property needs so we can agree the work, access and timing.
What to consider
Selection should consider cleaning access, staff movement and maintenance as well as cooking capacity. Retained services need assessment against the new load. Gas work must be carried out by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer; the required category of competence matters.
A closer look at the property brief.
The work starts with the property.Before we visit
Provide the premises layout, equipment details and landlord permissions. Identify shared services, access widths and finishes to protect. Agree who approves connection changes and the condition required after redundant equipment is removed.
How we help
We assess the equipment and service requirements, then coordinate installation and the relevant trades. The work ends with the agreed checks and commissioning. Handover identifies operating instructions, maintenance requirements and any remaining restrictions.
What affects cost and timing
Equipment duty, connection changes, access, extraction and building work affect cost. Include delivery, removal and reinstatement in the proposal. The programme must allow commissioning before the kitchen relies on the equipment.
Property and sector applications
Managing agents need responsibilities and approvals connected to the correct owner. Residential blocks need communal and individual areas distinguished. Retail and hospitality need work coordinated with customers and occupiers. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with scope suited to the property and the people using it.
Local coverage
We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. View all locations.
For several properties, provide separate access and occupancy information. A remote owner can nominate a local representative while retaining a clear route for approving the work.
Frequently asked questions

The sequence depends on affected services and working areas. Agree the operational arrangement before scheduling.
