Designed overhead. Built to perform.
Commercial kitchen ceilings play a vital role in maintaining hygiene, controlling moisture, and supporting a safe working environment. The right ceiling system helps prevent contamination, resists heat and humidity, and allows for regular cleaning without deterioration.
Our ceiling solutions are selected and installed with real-world kitchen conditions in mind, delivering long-term performance in demanding catering environments.

Correct installation is essential to ensure ceiling systems perform effectively. Our team installs commercial kitchen ceilings with careful attention to detail, ensuring secure fixing, clean finishes, and proper integration with surrounding elements.
We consider:
​
-
Ceiling height and access requirements

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Kitchen Ceiling Systems
What are commercial kitchen ceiling systems?
Commercial kitchen ceiling systems are purpose-designed ceiling solutions built to meet the hygiene, safety, and durability demands of professional catering environments. They provide easy-clean surfaces, resistance to moisture and heat, and support compliance with food hygiene and health & safety requirements.
Are specialist ceiling systems required in commercial kitchens?
Commercial kitchens must have ceilings that are smooth, hygienic, and easy to clean. While regulations may not specify a single product type, specialist ceiling systems are widely accepted by environmental health officers as a compliant solution for food preparation areas.
Why are hygienic ceilings important in commercial kitchens?
Hygienic ceilings help prevent contamination from flaking paint, condensation, mould, and grease build-up. A properly installed ceiling system supports food safety, improves cleanliness, and reduces long-term maintenance issues.
What types of ceiling systems are suitable for commercial kitchens?
Suitable systems include hygienic ceiling panels, sealed suspended ceilings, and washable, non-porous finishes designed for food environments. The correct system depends on kitchen layout, ventilation requirements, and access needs.
What regulations apply to commercial kitchen ceilings?
Commercial kitchen ceilings must support food hygiene standards, be durable, and allow effective cleaning. Health & safety compliant installation practices are essential to ensure ceilings meet inspection requirements and perform correctly in busy kitchen environments.
How do I start a commercial kitchen ceiling project?
The first step is a site survey. This allows ceiling height, existing conditions, services, and access requirements to be assessed before design and installation.
Do you offer site surveys and quotations?
Yes. A free site survey and quotation is provided to assess your kitchen space, confirm requirements, and deliver accurate pricing before any work begins.
What measurements are needed for commercial kitchen ceiling systems?
Measurements typically include ceiling height, room dimensions, service penetrations, lighting positions, and ventilation interfaces. These are usually taken during the site survey to ensure accurate design and installation.
How much do commercial kitchen ceiling systems cost?
Costs vary depending on ceiling type, kitchen size, preparation work, and installation complexity. While budget is always a factor, investing in a compliant ceiling system helps avoid hygiene issues and costly remedial work later.
How long does it take to install a commercial kitchen ceiling?
Installation time depends on the size of the kitchen and the type of ceiling system being installed. Many projects can be completed efficiently with proper planning, helping minimise disruption to operations.
Can ceiling systems be installed in existing commercial kitchens?
Yes. Hygienic ceiling systems are suitable for refurbishments and upgrades. They can often be installed as part of planned shutdowns or phased works to reduce downtime.
Do you work with contractors, engineers, and installers?
Yes. Ceiling installations are regularly coordinated with contractors, engineers, and installers to ensure compatibility with ventilation, lighting, and other services.
Are commercial kitchen ceiling systems durable?
Yes. Properly specified ceiling systems are designed to withstand heat, moisture, cleaning chemicals, and daily wear in high-demand catering environments.
What health and safety standards do you follow during installation?
All ceiling installations follow strict health & safety compliant practices, including safe access, secure fixing methods, and controlled working procedures on site.
Do you install ceiling systems for different catering environments?
Yes. Ceiling systems are installed for restaurants, takeaways, hotels, dark kitchens, schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial catering operations.
What areas do you cover for commercial kitchen ceiling systems?
Commercial kitchen ceiling system services are available across London, Essex, and inside and around the M25, supporting both small refurbishments and large-scale commercial projects.
Why choose specialist commercial kitchen ceiling systems?
