Commercial Kitchen & Catering Electrical Services

Yes, this is how most of our commercial kitchen projects start. We work directly from the equipment schedule, kitchen layout, and any electrical or mechanical drawings provided by the kitchen designer or catering equipment supplier. If the design is still being developed, we can also get involved early to advise on circuit requirements, load distribution, and any infrastructure that needs to go in before the kitchen fit-out begins.

Absolutely. A lot of commercial catering equipment runs on three phase, and we install, connect, and test three phase circuits as a regular part of our work. If your incoming supply is single phase only, we can assess whether an upgrade is needed and liaise with the DNO on your behalf if required. We’ll let you know early in the project whether the supply is going to need attention so it doesn’t become a problem further down the line.

A gas interlock system links the gas supply in your kitchen to the extract ventilation, automatically shutting off the gas if the extraction isn’t running properly. For most commercial kitchens using gas appliances, this is a requirement rather than an option, and it’s an important safety feature regardless. We install and wire the electrical side of the interlock system, working alongside your gas engineer to make sure the complete system commissions correctly.

Most commercial kitchens are required to have clearly identified emergency stop arrangements that can isolate the electrical and gas supplies quickly in an emergency. The exact requirements depend on the setup, the appliances in use, and how the kitchen is laid out. We design and install emergency isolation systems that meet current standards and are positioned where they can actually be reached when needed, not buried behind equipment where they’re useless.

In many cases, yes. Hotels, care homes, and schools often need to keep operating while the kitchen is being refitted, and we plan around that wherever possible. We can phase the work, carry out the noisy or disruptive elements outside of operational hours, and keep temporary power available where it’s needed. We’ll discuss the practicalities at quotation stage so there are no surprises about access or downtime.
