The Integrated Approach to High-Performance Kitchens
Commercial kitchens are some of the most complex environments to design and install. They require a precise balance of heavy-duty Mechanical infrastructure and robust Electrical engineering to ensure safety, efficiency, and continuous operation.
At HF, we specialise in providing a turnkey solution. By integrating our Mechanical and Electrical divisions, we offer a seamless “complete package” of installation, taking your project from empty shell to a fully commissioned, compliant, and operational kitchen.

One Team. Every Discipline.
The biggest challenge in kitchen fitting is the “clash” between trades—where extraction hoods, gas lines, and electrical conduits all compete for the same space. Because HF provides both Mechanical and Electrical services in-house, we coordinate these elements during the planning stage, preventing delays and reducing costs.
Our Mechanical Services Include:
- Commercial Gas & Plumbing: Installation of gas interlock systems, water supplies, and high-volume drainage solutions.
- HVAC & Extraction: Bespoke design and installation of kitchen ventilation systems (Extract and Supply) to ensure a comfortable working environment and adherence to DW/172 standards.
- Fire Suppression: Integrating automated fire suppression systems directly into the extraction hoods for maximum safety.
- Water Heating: High-recovery calorifiers and point-of-use water heating for intensive cleaning requirements.
Our Electrical Services Include:
- Heavy Power Distribution: Planning and installing the 3-phase power required for industrial ovens, fryers, and refrigeration units.
- Smart Lighting: Energy-efficient, high-output LED lighting designed for hygiene and safety.
- Emergency Systems: Integrated fire alarms and emergency lighting that meet all UK safety regulations.
- Automated Controls: Intelligent Building Management Systems (BMS) to monitor energy usage and system health in real-time.

Why the “Complete Package” Matters
When you choose HF for your kitchen fit-out, you benefit from Total Project Coordination:
- Single Point of Contact: No more playing “middle-man” between different contractors. One project manager oversees the entire Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) scope.
- Regulatory Compliance: We ensure the entire installation meets Gas Safe, NICEIC, and Health & Safety executive standards under one umbrella.
- Future-Proof Design: We don’t just install equipment; we design systems with maintenance in mind, ensuring easy access for future servicing by our local branches.
- Reduced Lead Times: By scheduling our M&E teams in-house, we can overlap work stages that separate contractors would have to do sequentially, getting your kitchen open faster.
A Legacy of Quality in the Hospitality Sector
From high-end restaurants and boutique hotels to large-scale canteen facilities, HF has been trusted for over 300 years to deliver engineering excellence. Our “Family Culture” means we take personal responsibility for the integrity of every pipe, wire, and bolt we install.
We don’t just fit kitchens; we build the reliable infrastructure that allows your culinary team to perform at their best.
