Commercial Dishwasher Replacement & Washroom Refurbishment at Ashford International Hotel 🍽️🏨

Client Overview: Ashford International Hotel, Kent 🌟

Located in the heart of Ashford, Kent, the Ashford International Hotel is a busy hospitality venue serving guests with high standards of service and quality. When their ageing flight-type dishwasher started causing frequent breakdowns, they turned to us for a reliable, professional solution.

Project Scope: Dishwasher Replacement & Full Washroom Refurbishment 🔄🛠️

The challenge was clear:

• Replace the failing flight dishwasher with a new, special-order Winterhalter unit

• Maintain uninterrupted kitchen operation during equipment lead time

• Fully refurbish the dishwasher room to improve hygiene, safety, and workflow

Our Multi-Phase Solution: Temporary Setup, Renovation & Installation ✔️💡

1. Temporary Dishwasher Room Setup 🏗️

To keep the hotel’s kitchen fully operational during the six-week wait for the new dishwasher:

• Supplied and installed a loaned pass-through dishwasher at no extra cost 🔄

• Created a temporary washing area ensuring smooth service without downtime 🧼

• Installed a custom plywood partition isolating the washing zone from the rest of the kitchen for safety and cleanliness 🛡️

2. Comprehensive Room Refurbishment During Lead Time 🎨

While the kitchen operated with the temporary setup, we carried out:

• Complete strip-out of the old dishwasher and fixtures 🧰

• Installation of hygienic UPVC wall cladding for durability and easy cleaning 🧽

• Fitting Altro slip-resistant safety flooring suitable for wet, high-traffic environments 🦶

• Installation of a suspended ceiling to enhance lighting and improve aesthetics 💡

• Full electrical rewiring and plumbing upgrades to meet modern standards ⚡🚰

3. Final Installation & Staff Training 🛠️🎓

When the new German-engineered Winterhalter flight dishwasher arrived:

• Installed the unit efficiently over two days ⏱️

• Supplied and fitted new stainless steel inlet and outlet tabling for a smooth workflow 🧑‍🍳

• Provided on-site staff training to ensure effective, correct operation of the new equipment 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Project Outcome: Reliable, Efficient Dishwashing with Zero Service Disruption 🌟🧼
