Commercial Kitchen Storage Solutions
Efficient, Safe, and Custom Storage Systems
We provide commercial kitchen storage solutions including shelving, racks, and bespoke storage systems tailored to your workflow and space. Our installations maximise efficiency, maintain hygiene, and ensure easy access to equipment and ingredients in busy catering environments.
Everything in its place.
We understand that effective storage is essential to safe, efficient kitchen operations. Poorly planned storage can slow service, create hygiene risks, and reduce usable workspace.
Our storage solutions are designed to keep kitchens organised, accessible, and compliant.
Storage Solutions Designed for Commercial Kitchen Workflows
​
Every kitchen operates differently depending on menu, service volume, and layout. We design storage systems that support logical workflows and reduce unnecessary movement.
​
Our storage design considerations include:
​
-
Clear separation of food, equipment, and cleaning supplies
-
Easy access to frequently used items
-
Efficient use of wall, floor, and overhead space
-
Safe load-bearing and stability
-
Layouts that reduce clutter and congestion
​
This approach helps kitchens run smoothly during busy service periods.
Hygienic, Durable & Easy-to-Clean Storage Systems​
​
Commercial kitchen storage must meet high hygiene standards while withstanding daily use. We install storage solutions made from durable, easy-clean materials suitable for professional catering environments.
​
We commonly provide:
​
-
Stainless steel shelving and racks
-
Wall-mounted and freestanding storage
-
Integrated shelving within prep and wash areas
-
Storage designed to support cleaning and inspections
​
These systems help maintain cleanliness while ensuring long-term durability.
Bespoke Storage Tailored to Your Space
​
Off-the-shelf storage doesn’t always suit commercial kitchens. Our bespoke storage solutions are designed to fit your space precisely, making full use of available room without compromising access or safety.
​
By tailoring storage to your kitchen layout, we help:
​
-
Maximise usable workspace
-
Improve organisation and stock control
-
Support efficient prep and service
-
Reduce wear and damage to equipment
-
Integrated with Kitchen Design & Installation Projects
​
Storage works best when planned alongside the wider kitchen layout. We integrate storage solutions with prep spaces, cooklines, dishwash areas, refrigeration, and stainless steel fabrication to ensure a cohesive, practical workspace.
For refurbishments, we can also upgrade or reconfigure existing storage to improve efficiency and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kitchen Storage Solutions
What are commercial kitchen storage systems?
Commercial kitchen storage systems are purpose-designed solutions for safely organising food, equipment, utensils, cleaning products, and consumables. They support hygiene, efficiency, and compliance while maximising available space in busy kitchen environments.
Why is proper storage important in a commercial kitchen?
Correct storage reduces contamination risk, improves workflow, supports food hygiene compliance, and makes kitchens safer and more efficient. Poor storage often leads to clutter, unsafe practices, and failed inspections.
What regulations apply to commercial kitchen storage?
Kitchen storage must comply with food hygiene regulations and health & safety guidelines. Food must be stored separately from chemicals, off the floor, and in clean, accessible areas. Storage layouts must support safe handling and cleaning.
How much space is required for commercial kitchen storage?
There is no fixed requirement. Storage space depends on menu size, stock levels, delivery frequency, and kitchen layout. Well-designed storage systems can make efficient use of even very limited space.
Can unused or awkward spaces be used for storage?
Yes. Bespoke storage solutions can utilise awkward corners, wall space, under-counter areas, and vertical height—maximising usable storage without compromising safety or access.
What types of storage can be installed in a commercial kitchen?
Storage solutions can include:
-
Dry goods shelving
-
Refrigerated and cold storage
-
Wall-mounted shelving
-
Under-counter storage
-
Mobile racking
-
Dedicated COSHH cupboards
Each solution is tailored to kitchen operations and available space.
What is COSHH?
COSHH stands for Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. It covers how cleaning chemicals and hazardous substances must be stored, handled, and labelled to protect staff and comply with safety regulations.
Can COSHH cupboards be integrated into kitchen storage?
Yes. Dedicated COSHH cupboards can be integrated into storage layouts to safely house cleaning chemicals and hazardous substances—separate from food and preparation areas.
Can chemicals be stored with food?
No. Chemicals must never be stored with food. Food hygiene regulations require complete separation between food storage and chemical storage to prevent contamination.
Can chemicals be stored under the sink?
YeOnly if they are kept in a dedicated COSHH cupboard and clearly separated from food, utensils, and preparation areas. Open or shared under-sink storage is not compliant.
Can cleaning equipment be integrated into storage systems?
Yes. Cleaning items such as mops, buckets, and chemicals can be housed in designated storage areas or cupboards to keep them organised and compliant.
Can storage systems be installed in existing kitchens?
Yes. Storage systems can be retrofitted into existing kitchens to improve organisation, hygiene, and efficiency—often with minimal disruption.
Can you recommend improvements to an existing storage setup?
Yes. Existing storage can be reviewed to identify compliance issues, inefficiencies, and opportunities to improve layout, capacity, and accessibility.
How do I start a commercial kitchen storage project?
The first step is a site survey. This allows stock levels, space constraints, workflow, and compliance needs to be assessed before designing storage solutions.
Do you offer site surveys and quotations?
Yes. A free site survey and quotation is provided to assess your kitchen and recommend the most effective storage options.
How much do commercial kitchen storage systems cost?
Costs depend on size, materials, bespoke fabrication, and installation complexity. Well-planned storage often reduces waste, improves efficiency, and saves money long term.
Do you work with architects, engineers, and installers?
Yes. Storage solutions are coordinated with architects, engineers, and installers to ensure integration with kitchen layouts, services, and equipment.
Are bespoke storage solutions available?
Yes. Bespoke storage systems can be designed to suit your exact kitchen layout, operational needs, and compliance requirements.
What areas do you cover for commercial kitchen storage systems?
Commercial kitchen storage design and installation services are available across London, Essex, and inside and around the M25.
Why choose a specialist for commercial kitchen storage?
Specialists understand food hygiene, COSHH compliance, workflow efficiency, and real kitchen pressures. This ensures storage systems are safe, compliant, practical—and that everything truly has its place.
