Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Commercial Kitchen Water Supplies
What are commercial kitchen water supply systems?
Commercial kitchen water supply systems provide clean, reliable water to catering equipment, sinks, dishwashers, glasswashers, coffee machines, and specialist appliances. They are designed to handle high demand while meeting hygiene and safety standards.
Why are reliable water supplies important in commercial kitchens?
Water is critical for food preparation, cleaning, appliance performance, and hygiene. Poor pressure, inadequate pipe sizes, or untreated water can lead to equipment failure, downtime, and failed inspections.
What regulations apply to commercial kitchen water supplies?
Commercial kitchen water systems must comply with UK water regulations, food hygiene standards, and health & safety requirements. Systems must deliver potable water, prevent contamination, and allow safe isolation and maintenance.
Are there special water regulations for commercial kitchens?
Yes. Commercial kitchens require correct pipe sizing, backflow prevention, safe materials, and suitable isolation valves. Installations must also account for high usage, temperature demands, and appliance manufacturer requirements.
Can you upgrade existing water supplies?
Yes. Existing water supplies can be assessed and upgraded to support new appliances, higher demand, or improved performance and reliability.
Can you install isolation valves on water pipework?
Yes. Isolation valves can be fitted to individual appliances or zones, allowing safe maintenance and reducing disruption if repairs are needed.
Can temporary water supplies be installed?
Yes. Temporary water supplies can be installed for pop-ups, events, refurbishments, or phased works—designed to remain safe and compliant during use.
What is water pressure and why does it matter?
Water pressure is the force at which water is delivered through the system. Insufficient pressure can affect appliance performance, rinse quality, and fill times, while excessive pressure can damage equipment.
Can pipework be upgraded from 15mm to 22mm?
Yes. Pipe sizes can be upgraded where required to improve flow and pressure—particularly important for high-demand appliances such as dishwashers and combination ovens.
What is softened water?
Softened water has reduced mineral content, which helps prevent limescale build-up. This improves appliance efficiency, extends equipment lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs.
Can you install water treatment systems?
Yes. Water treatment systems such as softeners and filters can be installed to protect appliances, improve performance, and maintain water quality.
Does a Rational oven need water treatment?
Yes. Most combination ovens, including Rational units, require suitable water treatment to prevent limescale damage and ensure warranty compliance.
Can you run new water supplies for new appliances?
Yes. New water supplies can be installed to support additional or upgraded equipment, ensuring correct pressure, flow, and isolation.
How do I know if my kitchen has adequate water capacity?
A site assessment reviews pipe sizes, pressure, demand, and appliance requirements to determine whether upgrades are needed.
Can water upgrades be carried out in operating kitchens?
Yes. Works can often be phased or carried out out-of-hours to minimise disruption while maintaining safety.
Can you recommend improvements to an existing water installation?
Yes. Existing installations can be reviewed to identify inefficiencies, compliance issues, and opportunities to improve performance and future-proof the system.
How do water supplies integrate with other kitchen services?
Water systems must integrate with drainage, electrical supplies, gas appliances, and BMS where applicable. Proper coordination ensures safe and reliable operation.
How do I start a commercial kitchen water supply project?
The first step is a site survey. This allows existing systems, appliance needs, and compliance requirements to be assessed before design or upgrades.
Do you offer site surveys and quotations?
Yes. A free site survey and quotation is provided to assess your kitchen’s water requirements and outline upgrade or installation options.
How much do commercial kitchen water supply upgrades cost?
Costs depend on pipework changes, treatment systems, number of appliances, and installation complexity. Investing in proper water infrastructure helps prevent breakdowns and costly repairs.
What areas do you cover for commercial kitchen water supplies?
Commercial kitchen water supply design, installation, and upgrade services are available across London, Essex, and inside and around the M25.
Why choose a specialist for commercial kitchen water systems?
Specialists understand catering appliance demands, hygiene regulations, and real-world kitchen pressures. This ensures water systems are reliable, compliant, and deliver consistent performance every day.
