Industrial Kitchen Installation Derby

• Full strip-out and structural preparation of walls, floors and ceilings so they can take continuous multi-shift use, not just a few hours of daily cooking
• Three-phase power installed and Part P certified for ovens, mixers, chillers, freezers and production-line equipment running side by side
• Drainage and grease trap capacity sized for washdown cleaning between production batches, not a single evening clean-down
• Gas Safe commissioning of gas-fired cooking and processing equipment, from ranges to bulk cooking kettles
• Extraction canopies and make-up air systems balanced across multiple cooking stations or production lines running at the same time
• Resin, speciality vinyl or sealed concrete flooring rated for trolley traffic, spillage and repeated washdown
• Stainless steel worktops, wipe-clean wall cladding and coved floor-wall junctions that leave no dirt traps for food safety inspections
• Sourcing, positioning and commissioning of industrial-grade production equipment through our trusted suppliers
• Safety testing, certification paperwork and staff handover training before the line goes into production

• The purchase cost of specialist production equipment itself, which is sourced and priced separately to match your budget and output
• Local authority planning applications, food business registration and permit fees, which are paid direct to the council
• Major structural work outside the kitchen area, such as a new roof, extension shell or altering load-bearing structure
• Ongoing cleaning chemicals, consumables and routine maintenance once the kitchen is handed over and running
• Building work or equipment changes requested after sign-off, which are scoped and quoted as a separate job

1. Site survey and equipment schedule -- We visit the site to check the existing power supply, drainage, floor loading and any structural constraints, and go through your equipment list and production layout so the plumbing, extraction and electrics are designed around how the kitchen will actually be used.
2. Design and written quote -- We put together a layout showing equipment positions, extraction runs, drainage points and floor finishes, then send a written, itemised quote so you know what's included and what's costed separately before any work starts.
3. Strip-out and first fix -- Old units, flooring and redundant pipework are stripped out and disposed of legally through our registered waste carrier licence, then walls, floors and ceilings are prepared and first-fix electrics, plumbing and ductwork routed for the new layout.
4. Trade installation -- Part P electricians run the three-phase power and lighting circuits, plumbers qualified to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds fit the heavy-duty pipework and grease traps, and Gas Safe engineers fit and commission gas hobs and ranges -- each trade signed off before the next stage starts.
5. Surfaces, cladding and equipment fit -- Resin, speciality vinyl or sealed concrete flooring is laid, stainless steel worktops and wipe-clean wall cladding go in with coved floor-wall junctions, and production equipment is positioned and connected.
6. Testing, certification and handover -- We carry out safety testing, hand over the gas and electrical certificates and other paperwork, walk your staff through the new kitchen, and sign off the job under our 5-year labour and installation guarantee.

Industrial kitchen fit-outs vary more than domestic ones because so much depends on the site you're starting from and the equipment you're running. As a guide, a small production kitchen installation tends to start from around £50,000, and a full manufacturing facility fit-out can run into six figures once three-phase power, drainage, extraction and specialist flooring are all accounted for. What moves the price most is the condition of the existing electrical supply and drains, how much strip-out is needed, and how many separate cooking or processing lines the extraction and ventilation have to serve. The purchase cost of ovens, mixers, chillers and other production-line equipment is priced and sourced separately from the installation itself, so you're not paying installation rates on kit you already own or want to source yourself. A figure like this is only ever a starting point -- a firm quote means a site visit, so we can look at the existing supply, drainage and layout before pricing the job in writing.

Twenty years fitting kitchens across Derbyshire has meant plenty of domestic work, but it's the food production and bulk catering sites that test a crew hardest -- three-phase circuits, drainage and gas commissioning all landing on the same site while a client is trying to get a production line running to schedule. That's the work our tradespeople are used to. Gas Safe registered engineers commission every gas-fired cooking and processing line, Part P registered electricians certify the power feeding ovens, mixers and refrigeration, and plumbers qualified to NVQ Level 2 and City & Guilds size the drainage and grease traps for washdown cleaning between batches rather than a single evening's service. When the strip-out comes out, it leaves the way a registered waste carrier is supposed to handle it -- logged and disposed of properly, not left for you to arrange. We're members of CITB and the Federation of Small Businesses, and every fit-out is backed by a 5-year labour and installation guarantee plus a 2-year guarantee on the products we fit.

We're based on Stenson Road in Sunny Hill, on the south side of Derby, which keeps us close to the city's main industrial and trading sites -- the units around Raynesway, the Meteor Centre trading estate, the manufacturing and distribution sheds on Sinfin Lane, and the business park development at Pride Park. From there we've spent 20 years taking kitchen fit-outs out to the surrounding towns too: Chesterfield, Long Eaton, Belper, Ilkeston, Heanor, Alfreton, Swadlincote, Ripley, Matlock, Dronfield, Duffield, Wirksworth, Bakewell, Buxton, and into Nottingham. Wherever the site is, the same crew and certified trades travel with the job rather than being swapped for whichever local subcontractors happen to be free.

Every week an industrial fit-out runs is a week production capacity is offline, so the sooner we've surveyed the site and issued a written, itemised quote, the sooner a start date can be booked in around your output schedule rather than someone else's. Get in touch to arrange a site visit -- there's no hidden extras in the quote you get back.
