Can you supply equipment during a care home kitchen refurbishment?

Yes. We supply a full temporary kitchen package or individual items to maintain meal service during planned works. Equipment arrives before works start and is collected when the permanent kitchen is back in use.

How quickly can care home equipment be delivered?

Next-day delivery is available on most routes. For a full kitchen package, three to five days notice lets us confirm stock and plan the delivery properly.

Catering equipment

Care home kitchens run continuous service across breakfast, lunch, evening meals and snack rounds. Our gastronorm containers, bain maries, stock pots and urns keep that service running when the main kitchen is out of action or when the facility needs additional capacity. Equipment delivers clean and ready for use, and we collect when it is no longer needed.

Dining furniture

Care home dining rooms need furniture that is easy to clean and stable. Our banqueting chairs and folding tables work for temporary dining setups during refurbishment and for seasonal events where the regular room is unavailable. Crockery, cutlery and glassware are available for short-term functions and staff dining.

Planned works and new openings

Kitchen refurbishments, fire remediation and new-facility fit-outs create gaps that hire equipment fills without capital commitment. We supply an equipment package for the duration of the works and remove it when the permanent installation is complete.

Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge. Other hire companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover — on a typical £1,000 booking, that is up to £30 extra you keep in your pocket.
