Enhancing Heritage Buildings with Modern Commercial Kitchens ✨🔧

About St. Michael’s Care Home in Thanet: A Historic Care Facility with High Standards 🏠❤️

Built in 1895, St. Michael’s Care Home is a top-rated residential care facility in Thanet, known for its exceptional care and welcoming atmosphere. Often described as “a hotel with nurses,” this care home demanded a kitchen upgrade that matched its reputation and supported its outstanding food service.

Kitchen Refurbishment Project Overview: Modernising a 1970s Care Home Kitchen 🛠️🔄

The existing commercial kitchen was last refurbished decades ago and, while clean, was outdated and inefficient. Our team was tasked with a complete kitchen refurbishment including:

• Main commercial kitchen upgrade 🍳

• Renovation of two storage rooms adjacent to the kitchen 📦

• Refurbishment of the adjoining corridor area 🚪

Minimising disruption was key, as the kitchen team worked temporarily from a secondary kitchen onsite.
