Quality catering repair services for commercial kitchen equipment
In the catering industry, being able to find quality commercial kitchen equipment repair services can be the difference between a thriving business and crippling financial consequences. It can take only one piece of catering equipment to malfunction to create downtime that has far-reaching financial implications.
Commercial kitchen equipment needing repairs can be the cause of accidents for both employees and customers, and Abraxas understands the need to have rapid solutions to these issues. This is why our engineers carry all of the most commonly needed replacement parts in their vans to endeavour to fix problems on the spot – preventing both the need for a second visit and the valuable loss of business income.
Another reason to have a reliable commercial appliance repair service is that faulty equipment can mean that it isn’t meeting regulatory compliance. If appliances are not safe or fit for purpose, it can result in costly fines and legal issues, as well as posing a health and safety risk to staff and clients alike.
Abraxas’s engineers are F-Gas and Gas Safe registered to ensure that all commercial kitchen repairs meet regulations and keep your workplace safe.
Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) plans are available to give you peace of mind that, should your commercial kitchen equipment need repairing, you’ll be prioritised to get your kitchen back up and functioning as fast as possible.
We are skilled in repairing all types of kitchen equipment
Here at Abraxas, we specialise in the repair of all types of catering equipment. We have been supporting commercial catering kitchens for decades, helping to repair all their vital equipment including, but not limited to:
Refrigeration Units
Warewashers
If your glass or dishwasher breaks down, it will mean that staff will have to spend a much greater amount of time than they should cleaning dishes, glasses and pans by hand – costing you valuable time. We also appreciate that your washers ensure that everything is cleaned to a consistent hygiene standard, so we endeavour to fix your washing appliances as quickly as possible.
Ventilation & Extraction systems
Cooking ranges and combination ovens
Ovens and cooking ranges are the heart of your kitchen and if they require repairs, you can’t continue to provide your food service. We understand the pressures that this creates and endeavour to respond as quickly as possible. If we can’t repair them during our initial visit, we’ll source the relevant parts and complete the repair rapidly to prevent unnecessarily long downtime periods.
We can even offer emergency breakdown repairs – book today
Abraxas is conveniently located in the West Midlands, in the heart of the UK, meaning that accessing businesses that need our catering repair services throughout all of the central regions of the UK is easily and quickly achieved.
As all of our engineers are highly qualified and carry a vast array of common spare parts with them in their vans, most commercial kitchen equipment repairs are able to be carried out on the first callout – preventing the need for a revisit and minimising downtime for your business.
We are happy to respond to any call for catering equipment repairs, although we prioritise our customers with planned preventative maintenance plans.
For an emergency callout, contact us on 01562 863222.
Abraxas can repair catering equipment for all types of commercial kitchens
School and education
Educational establishments like schools are aiming to produce a large quantity of food within a short space of time, so planning needs to factor in these issues as well as facilities to keep food warm in the service area.
Restaurants and dining
Commercial kitchens in the restaurant sector need to have the space and equipment for a larger team and ability to produce a greater difference of menu options which will impact the design of the space.
Cafes and Deli
Not needing such a large or diverse amount of equipment, these kitchens still need to be thought through for workflow space, clever storage and preparation areas.
Hospitals and care homes
As with schools, hospitals and care homes are needing to output a large volume of food within a small window of time, so ergonomic flow and space for keeping food warm is a priority.
Pubs and bars
The type of menu that the pub or bar is intending to serve will create different requirements for the equipment and areas within the kitchen, creating parameters for the design process.
We are able to repair a range of leading manufacturers

What is your expected response time for breakdowns?
The amount of time it will take to respond to a breakdown situation will depend on various things, such as how far our engineer will have to travel to reach your kitchen and the nature of the breakdown. It also depends on whether or not a specialised part is needed to complete the repair. However, we can promise to respond as quickly as we possibly can, as we fully appreciate how frustrating broken equipment can be and understand the potential loss to your reputation and income. We take our commitment to our customers very seriously.

Are floor drains required in commercial kitchens?
Floor drains are typically required in commercial kitchens because commercial kitchens have specific sanitation requirements and generate a significant amount of wastewater and other liquids that need to be disposed of. Floor drains prevent water, grease, and other liquids from pooling on the floor which creates safety hazards and attracts pests.
