Factory-Trained on the Brands You Run
Real working knowledge of the brand-specific quirks that make first-visit fixes possible.
Hobart commercial dishwasher repair
Factory-trained on the AMX, FX, and Premax ranges. Common Hobart faults — heating elements, door interlocks, rinse pumps — are stocked on our vans for first-visit fixes.
Winterhalter commercial dishwasher repair
PT, UC, and MTR-series experience across hotel and contract catering. We handle Connected Wash setup, dosing calibration, and the full Winterhalter chemistry range.
Classeq commercial dishwasher repair
Pass-through and under-counter Classeq machines across pubs, gastropubs, and members’ clubs. Stocked spares for the Duo, Hydro, and Eco ranges keep callouts to a single visit.
Meiko commercial dishwasher repair
M-iClean and DV200 conveyor expertise for high-volume hotel and contract kitchens. We run Meiko commissioning, PPM, and energy-recovery diagnostics.
Maidaid commercial dishwasher repair
Halcyon and Amika ranges supported across the UK. Common Maidaid PCB and door-switch faults are diagnosed and replaced on the first visit where parts are available.
Wexiodisk commercial dishwasher repair
WD-rack and flight-type Wexiodisk machines for high-throughput kitchens. We handle commissioning, energy module setup, and ongoing PPM for the entire Wexiodisk range.
PPM & Servicing
Planned Maintenance for Warewashing
Scheduled servicing keeps wash quality consistent, equipment running, and warranties intact.
- Element, pump, and dosing inspection
- Wash and rinse arm flush and replacement
- Door interlock and seal checks
- Descaling and water-quality logging
- Rinse-aid and detergent pump calibration
- Service report and recommendations after every visit
Why warewashing PPM matters
Hard water damages elements, scale build-up insulates them out of spec, dosing pumps drift, and door seals fail without warning. A serviced dishwasher delivers consistent wash quality, lower energy use, and far fewer mid-service breakdowns than a reactive-only operation.
Engineers familiar with your equipment from PPM visits respond faster and predict faults more accurately than first-time visits.
Hygiene & Compliance
Wash and Rinse Temperatures, Verified
UK food-hygiene baselines for commercial warewashing — documented at every PPM visit.
Wash temperature
60°C
Minimum wash-tank temperature for effective soil removal and chemistry activation.
Rinse temperature
82°C
Minimum final-rinse temperature for thermal disinfection of plates, glass, and utensils.
Documentation provided every visit
Every PPM and reactive visit ends with a service report logging wash and rinse temperatures, dosing rates, water hardness, and any remedial work carried out. Documentation aligns with Food Standards Agency “Safer Food, Better Business” record-keeping requirements — inspection-ready, every time.

Water Quality & Chemical Dosing
Hard water silently destroys commercial dishwashers — scale insulates the heating element, drives energy costs up, and shortens equipment life. The Drinking Water Inspectorate’s hardness map shows much of the South East and East of England exceeds 200 mg/l CaCO₃ — the threshold at which warewashing equipment lifespan is materially shortened without softening.
We survey your incoming water hardness, specify softening or dosing equipment where required, and calibrate detergent and rinse-aid dosing to your machine and water chemistry — not a generic default.

Common Questions
Commercial Dishwasher FAQs
Answers to the questions we are most commonly asked — brand-specific where it matters.
Most repairs are completed on the first visit. Where parts are needed, we typically diagnose on-site, source the part from manufacturer-stocked inventory, and complete the repair within 24-48 hours. Time-critical breakdowns (hotel kitchens mid-service, peak-period restaurants) are prioritised — call us and we will give you an honest ETA.
