Commercial Dishwasher Installation in Bristol
A new dishwasher or glasswasher is a significant investment, and how it’s installed affects how well it performs for years. I install and commission commercial dishwashers, glasswashers and utensil washers across Bristol and the surrounding areas.

You deal with me, the engineer, directly.
Fully insured (£5m public liability) and DBS checked.
Before installation
What I check first
- Electrical supplyThe correct rating for the machine, single or three-phase, and a suitable isolator within reach.
- Water supplyPressure, hot or cold fill as the manufacturer specifies, an isolation valve, and whether a softener is needed.
- DrainageGravity or pumped drain, enough fall, and a waste connection that won’t back up.
- Space & accessGetting the machine in, door or hood clearance, ventilation, and tabling for passthrough models.
- Chemical supplyRoom for the detergent and rinse aid containers, and dosing that suits the machine and your water.
Commissioning
Set up and handed over properly
Once the machine is in place and connected, I commission it: first fill, wash and rinse temperatures checked, detergent and rinse aid lines primed and dosing set, then test cycles. On a recent Hobart undercounter installation, that meant configuring the supply, wiring it in and priming the chemical hoses before handing it over ready for service.
Before the day, we’ll agree a time that fits around your service, so the kitchen is without a machine for as little time as possible.
I can also show your team how to load racks, clean the filters and shut down at the end of the day. Those habits matter as much as the installation itself.
Replacing a tired machine? I can disconnect the old one and tell you honestly if a repair would be the better option.

FAQ
Questions customers ask
Can you install a machine I’ve already bought?
Yes. Let me know the make and model and I can check the supply, water and drainage requirements before the day.
Do I need a water softener with my new machine?
In hard water areas most machines benefit from one, and some manufacturers require it. I can check the water and the machine’s requirements and advise you.
Do you install single-phase and three-phase passthrough machines?
Yes. Passthrough machines can be single phase or three phase, and I install both. I’m an electrical commercial catering engineer, so three-phase connections are part of the job.
How is an installation priced?
Every installation is different, so send me the details and I’ll talk the job through with you and confirm the cost before any work goes ahead. There’s no VAT to add.
Can you look after the machine after it’s installed?
Yes. I can set up planned servicing so the same engineer who installed it looks after it. See servicing and maintenance.
