Kitchens and Restaurants

It doesn’t matter what the quality of your menu or décor is; if buildings’ supply services and equipment let you down during a service period there are serious implications for a catering business. It can lead to wasted food and damaged customer relations. That’s why it pays to have a reliable maintenance contractor on your side. As a local maintenance company based in Bath, BPM Maintenance is ideally placed to react to your commercial catering maintenance needs quickly and effectively.

Kitchen and Restaurant Supply Services

We provide maintenance for the Southgate Shopping Centre in Bath amongst a large number of other commercial customers in Bath, Bristol and the surrounding area. Our highly experienced plumbers, electricians and gas engineers are familiar with large scale catering operations and will operate out of hours where necessary to cause minimum disruption to your business. Our task is to ensure that electrical, plumbing and gas services are safe  and efficient so that you can focus on what you do best.

Electrical Services

Where an electrical fault with heavy or light equipment is causing safety breakers or appliance fuses to ‘trip’, we will carry out full electrical testing and inspection to find the root of the problem before making repairs and recommendations for future  safe operation.

If you are considering the installation of a new piece of heavy equipment it is essential to check the affect this will have on your current electrical circuits. BPM Maintenance engineers can provide unbiased advice prior to purchase and installation of heavy catering equipment. If you do not have a routine for checking appliances, then our electrical engineers can advise on Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) and this can be incorporated into a Planned Preventative Maintenance Programme (PPM).

All of our Bath electrical engineers are fully qualified and work to the 17th edition of the electrical regulations governed by the NICEIC (The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) Where the installation of a new piece of heavy equipment requires a three phase supply, our electricians can update circuitry and ensure the probity of supply so that your business meets the latest statutory regulations.

As with all BPM Maintenance support services, where installation requires additional work such as plastering, flooring, painting and decorating and making good, then members of our team can carry that out as part of an integrated project.

Plumbing and Drainage Services

Where plumbing and drainage problems are affecting the operation of your commercial catering equipment, our highly experienced plumbing team can help. Where the installation of large items of equipment such as flight dishwashers require re-aligned pipework or a new supply, then we can arrange this, together with commercial sink installation and the resolution of plumbing problems with older equipment such as bratt pans, boilers, boiling kettles, bain maries and steamers.

Counter Top Services

If the installation of a mains fed water boiler or a coffee machine requires a counter top supply, then we can install enabling pipework and make good counter tops prior to the installation and commissioning of the machine by the supplier.

Gas Appliances

The introduction of gas combi ovens to commercial kitchens has vastly improved the efficiency and speed with which menus can be produced, saving time, space and energy. Although self-diagnostics on the appliances themselves can identify appliance faults, it is essential that supply services are correctly installed and maintained. As gas combi ovens require electrical, gas and water supplies, BPM Maintenance is ideally placed as your one-stop maintenance contractor for all service supply maintenance. Our team of Gas Safe (formerly CORGI) registered engineers can install and maintain gas interlock systems and maintain extraction canopies and ventilation systems. We can also carry out annual gas safety inspections as part of a Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) routine.

Kitchen Installation and Upgrading

In partnership with architects and designers, BPM Maintenance can provide building and installation services when the times comes to upgrade your commercial kitchen. You may include some or all of the following as part of an upgrade:

• Uplifting of old flooring (quarry tiles) and installation of safety vinyl flooring such as ‘Altro’ flooring.
• Installation of new drainage gullies.
• Part or full cladding of walls with hygienic cladding or replacement tiles.
• Re-alignment of supplies for sinks and dishwashers to create more space.
• Ceiling and lighting upgrades to improve the working environment and meet food hygiene regulations
