Commercial Kitchen Fit-Out – Condimaniac Central Production Unit

Bespoke Central Production Unit for Condimaniac 🌶️✨


🚀 Supporting the Growth of a Bold UK Condiment Brand

We were delighted to partner with Condimaniac, a cult-favourite independent condiment brand based in Kent, to deliver a full commercial kitchen fit-out for their new central production unit in Lordswood.

Founded by dynamic duo Kier and Jen—former music industry professionals turned condiment connoisseurs—Condimaniac has carved a name for itself with handcrafted, vegan-friendly hot sauces and spice blends. With standout products like Smokey Dragon and Kyubi (a Great Taste Awards ⭐⭐ winner), the brand continues to grow a loyal and flavour-hungry following.


🏗️ The Challenge: Creating a Safe, Scalable, and Stylish Production Space

As their business scaled, the original kitchen setup could no longer keep pace with production demands. Kier and Jen acquired a larger industrial unit on the Lordswood Estate and needed a tailored, regulation-compliant facility that would:

  • Support both wet sauce production and dry spice blending

  • Meet commercial food hygiene and health & safety regulations

  • Reflect the brand’s unique personality and creativity

We were appointed as the main and sole contractor to transform this blank canvas into a fully functional and visually engaging production hub.


🔧 Scope of Work: Turning a Warehouse Into a Food-Safe Production Powerhouse

✅ 1. Full Electrical Rewiring

The unit’s original electrical system was outdated and underpowered. We carried out a complete electrical rewire, including:

  • Upgraded power supply

  • New circuit layouts for cooking, refrigeration, and lighting

  • Tailored configurations to meet the specific needs of food production


✅ 2. Dual-Zone Spatial Design

To meet production needs, we designed and built two separate, purpose-built work areas:

  • The Sauce Room – A spacious area dedicated to hot sauce cooking and bottling

  • The Spice Room – A controlled zone for blending dry seasonings without cross-contamination

Using stud wall construction, we ensured hygienic flow and separation between allergenic and non-allergenic processes.


✅ 3. Hygienic Finishes & Signature Style

  • Installed uPVC hygienic wall cladding for a clean, food-safe, and easy-to-maintain finish

  • Taped and jointed exterior warehouse walls to create a crisp canvas for a custom mural hand-painted by Kier himself—adding a personal and branded touch 🎨


✅ 4. Specialist Ventilation & Extraction

  • Bespoke extraction canopy installed in the sauce room to manage heat and steam

  • Low-pressure air systems in the spice room to reduce airborne dust from chilli and spices

Every system was designed with comfort, safety, and air quality in mind.


✅ 5. Commercial Plumbing Overhaul

  • Entirely upsized the water supply to support heavy usage

  • Installed a hot water cylinder system for consistent, on-demand hot water—essential for cleaning and compliance


🎯 The Result: A Modern, Scalable, Brand-Led Production Facility

The finished space offers everything Condimaniac needs to continue growing:

  • A robust and regulation-ready kitchen infrastructure

  • Tailored functionality to suit both wet and dry production

  • A visually distinctive design that showcases their creativity and passion

This commercial kitchen fit-out balances efficiency and individuality, enabling the brand to scale up and serve even more spice lovers across the UK.
