Project Summary

Commercial Kitchen in Kensington

Project Summary

In an ambitious expansion project, a popular gourmet burger chain on Kensington High Street extended their restaurant into the next-door property. This extension included a significant kitchen enlargement. SmartMist was selected to overhaul and upgrade the fire suppression system to ensure optimal safety in the expanded space.

The challenge

The main challenge was the complete removal of the existing fire suppression system and its replacement with a more advanced solution. The expanded kitchen, featuring additional hoods, ovens, and deep fat fryers, required thorough coverage and state-of-the-art fire protection.

The Solution

SmartMist designed a bespoke fire suppression system tailored to the expanded kitchen's specific needs. The plan involved full coverage of all cooking and frying areas, ensuring every potential fire risk was addressed. The system was selected for its efficiency, reliability, and minimal impact on the kitchen's operations.

A skilled team of four (three men and one woman) from SmartMist undertook the installation. The job was completed in just two days, a testament to the team's expertise and the system's ease of installation. Their efficient work minimized disruption to the restaurant's operations, a crucial factor for the busy Kensington High Street location.

Client Response & Conclusion

The restaurant manager, familiar with SmartMist's reputation from previous experience, expressed high satisfaction with the new system. The manager highlighted the team's professionalism and the system's comprehensive coverage as key factors in their positive feedback.

This case study demonstrates SmartMist's ability to deliver top-tier fire suppression solutions in high-pressure, commercial kitchen environments. The successful installation at the gourmet burger chain not only ensured compliance with fire safety standards but also reinforced SmartMist's position as a leader in advanced fire protection systems for the restaurant industry.
