Commercial Catering Equipment: Sales & Service
GMSE provides commercial catering equipment sales & service, as well as breakdown support for professional kitchens across Kent and the South East.
We support gas and electric catering equipment, as well as refrigeration and warewashing systems, helping restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, care homes and leisure venues keep their kitchens safe, compliant and running smoothly.
Complete commercial catering equipment support
Running a commercial kitchen often means relying on multiple contractors: one for gas appliances, another for refrigeration, and someone else entirely for servicing and compliance. That can lead to delays, unclear responsibility and unnecessary downtime.
GM Service Engineering brings these disciplines together under one roof.
With accredited engineers covering gas, electric and refrigeration equipment, we’re able to support the full lifecycle of your commercial catering equipment, from installation and servicing through to breakdown repairs and statutory safety checks.
This joined-up approach means:
Faster fault diagnosis and resolution
Fewer contractors to manage
Clear accountability
Improved safety and compliance
Less disruption to your operation
Whether you operate a single site or multiple locations, we act as a reliable engineering partner focused on keeping your kitchen operational, compliant and protected.

Sales, servicing and breakdowns for commercial catering equipment
We provide full lifecycle support for commercial catering equipment, helping businesses stay operational, compliant and prepared.
Our services are built around three core areas:
Breakdown call-outs
When equipment fails, downtime can be costly. Our engineers provide responsive breakdown support for commercial catering equipment, diagnosing faults quickly and carrying out effective repairs to get your kitchen back up and running.
We support both gas and electric appliances and work across cooking, food preparation, warewashing and refrigeration equipment.
Planned servicing and maintenance
Regular servicing plays a vital role in extending equipment lifespan, reducing unexpected breakdowns and maintaining safe operation.
We offer planned servicing and maintenance for commercial catering equipment, tailored to the type of machinery, usage levels and operational environment. This helps identify issues early, improve reliability and support ongoing compliance.
Equipment sales
In addition to servicing and repairs, we supply new commercial catering equipment from selected manufacturers.
Whether you’re replacing ageing machinery or fitting out a new kitchen, our team can advise on suitable equipment and provide ongoing support once installed. Additional equipment lines will continue to be added as our offering expands.
If you’re unsure which service you need, our team can advise and help you choose the most appropriate support for your operation.
Compliance, certification and commercial kitchen safety
Commercial kitchens are subject to strict safety and compliance requirements, particularly where gas and refrigeration equipment is concerned. Working with properly accredited engineers isn’t just best practice, it’s a legal necessity.
GMSE is registered with the Gas Safe Register and holds the relevant certifications to work on commercial gas appliances. This allows us to carry out servicing, repairs and statutory safety checks in line with current regulations.
Every commercial kitchen using gas equipment is legally required to have an annual gas safety inspection. We carry out these inspections and issue the appropriate certification, helping you meet your legal obligations and demonstrate compliance.
Our engineers are also qualified to work on stationary refrigeration equipment, supporting the safe servicing and maintenance of systems such as commercial fridges, freezers, ice machines and drinks chillers. As our refrigeration offering continues to expand, additional information will be added to the site.
For full details on annual gas safety inspections, you can visit our dedicated CP42 Gas Safety Certification page.
We work with a wide range of organisations that rely on safe, reliable commercial catering equipment as part of their day-to-day operations.
Our experience spans kitchens of all sizes and usage levels, including:
Restaurants and cafés
Pubs and bars
Hotels and hospitality venues
Golf clubs and leisure facilities
Schools, colleges and universities
Care homes and healthcare settings
Gyms, sports clubs and social clubs
Garden centres and retail food outlets
Whether you’re operating a single kitchen or managing multiple sites, our team provides consistent, professional support tailored to your environment and operational needs.
