Temporary Kitchen for Major UK Care Group

A temporary kitchen installation for a major UK care group during planned maintenance and refurbishment of their existing kitchen and flooring.

Client

A leading UK care group operating multiple residential and nursing care homes across the country, with a focus on elderly care and vulnerable residents.

Project Overview

The client required urgent essential maintenance and flooring replacement in one of its main care home kitchens, responsible for preparing meals for over 120 residents and staff.

The works were expected to take 6 weeks, during which the kitchen would be completely out of action.

Continuous, high-quality meal provision was a critical requirement, with zero tolerance for disruption due to the vulnerability of the residents.

Challenge

Non-negotiable continuity of meal preparation for a high-dependency care population.
Strict compliance with food hygiene standards and care sector safety regulations.
Limited site space and complex access points at the care home facility.
Requirement for low-noise operation to reduce disruption to residents.
On-site staff required facilities that mirrored their existing kitchen layout for a smooth transition.

We pride ourselves on meeting every client's specific requirements. Each of our kitchen installations is a bespoke solution designed around your needs.
