Everything you need to know about our installation process and what we require upon arrival at your property

A suitable external drain should be located within 20 meters of the designated parking area for the portable kitchen. Two electrical outlets and an outdoor water tap are required within 25 meters. If a drain is not available, a removable waste caddy can be provided, which must be emptied on a daily basis.

A minimum area of 4 meters in length and 2 meters in width is required to position the mobile kitchen. Before confirming your booking, we will need photos of your driveway or chosen installation area, as well as the available water and drainage outlets. If you are located nearby, we can arrange a site visit prior to delivery. Please note that the mobile kitchen cannot be placed on a public road.

Essential Spaces

Set up safely and professionally on arrival

Installation

We collaborate with you to place the temporary kitchen in the best location for your home and renovation. Before installation, we carry out a thorough risk assessment for safety.

Waste Water

On arrival, we install pipework to the wastewater from the portable kitchen to a nearby grey water drain on site. A close drain is best, but proper slope allows safe flow over short distances.

Water

We connect a food-grade hygiene hose from your outdoor tap to the pod, up to a distance of 25 metres. Although mains tap water is generally safe, we further filter it for drinking, cooking, and cleaning.

Electrics

The pod is powered by two 13-amp cables, which plug into a standard ring main at your property. The power connection simply needs to be within 25 meters of the temporary kitchen.

Gas

The kitchen hire includes a gas oven for efficient cooking. Our installers ensure it is properly connected, fully functional, and safely positioned in accordance with all relevant safety guidelines.

Safety

Each portable kitchen is fitted with an RCD (Residual Current Device) circuit board for enhanced safety, and the connecting cables to your property are also protected by an RCD plug for additional security.

Portable Kitchen – Convenience on the Move

Setting up the temporary kitchen is a straightforward process. All the necessary details will be confirmed before delivery begins to ensure everything runs smoothly. Once the main setup is complete, we will arrange the interior by placing the cooking utensils and mobile appliances in their designated areas, making the kitchen ready for use.
