Refurbishments and upgrades
The trailer is sound. The inside has had its day.
Plenty of trailers are worth keeping. The chassis is solid, the body is straight, but the fit-out was built for a menu you stopped serving two seasons ago. That is a refit, not a replacement, and it costs a fraction of one.
What a refit covers
Strip it back, build it right
Stainless steel fit-outs
New counters, splashbacks, shelving and prep surfaces in stainless with sealed joints. The single biggest jump in how a trailer inspects and how it looks.
Equipment installation
Griddles, fryers, ranges, pizza ovens, espresso machines and bain maries. Ours or yours, installed and certified around.
Layout changes
Move the hatch, re-plan the cook line, change where the service point sits. Worth doing when the menu has moved on.
Gas and electrical upgrades
Re-pipes, new consumer units, extra sockets, hook-up points and LED lighting, certified when finished.
Extraction and ventilation
Canopies, filters and fans sized to what you actually cook, so the trailer is workable in July and not just in March.
Panels and cosmetics
Panel replacement, resealing, new trim and a surface fit to take a wrap. Worth doing last, once the working parts are right.
The honest bit
When a refit is the wrong answer
We will tell you when not to spend the money. A refit is worth it when the chassis is sound and the body is straight. If the chassis has gone, you are putting a new kitchen into something that will not pass a road check, and you would be better off starting again.
Send us photographs of the chassis rails and the underside before anything else. That one set of photos decides the whole conversation.
