Hospitality construction across the North East

Why hospitality businesses across the North East choose MDS NE

Hotels, restaurants, bars and cafes across the North East trust us to deliver their construction and refurbishment projects on time and to a finish their customers will notice. We work out of hours, around live operations and to the deadlines that hospitality demands.


We understand that a delayed opening costs revenue, a poor finish costs customers and a contractor who cannot coordinate trades properly costs both. That is why every hospitality project we deliver is planned around your opening date or trading deadline from day one, with every trade sequenced to hit it.


Whether you are opening a new restaurant in Newcastle, refurbishing a hotel in Gateshead or fitting out a bar in North Tyneside, we manage every trade from strip-out through to soft launch support under one contract with one project manager and one programme.

Commercial kitchen installation

Commercial kitchen installation across the North East

A commercial kitchen is the heart of any restaurant, hotel or catering operation. Getting the installation right from the outset is essential. A poorly planned kitchen affects the efficiency of your team, the speed of your service and the safety of your operation.

  • Electrical distribution

    Commercial kitchen electrical distribution including three phase power for heavy equipment, lighting, extraction controls and emergency systems. All work carried out by our NICEIC certified electricians and fully certified on completion.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can you keep our venue trading during a refurbishment?
In many cases yes. We regularly carry out hospitality refurbishments in trading venues across the North East using a combination of phased working and out of hours programmes. The feasibility depends on the size of the venue, the scope of the works and the layout of the space. For larger venues we can often phase the works so one section of the venue remains open while another is being refurbished. For smaller venues where closure is unavoidable we programme the works as tightly as possible to minimise the number of days lost to trading. We will discuss the options on the initial site visit and recommend the most practical approach for your venue.
Do you install commercial kitchens?
Yes. We carry out full commercial kitchen installations across the North East including extraction canopies and ductwork, gas supply and appliance connections, hot and cold water supply and drainage, electrical distribution and equipment positioning. All gas work is carried out by our Gas Safe registered engineers and all electrical work by our NICEIC certified electricians. We coordinate with your kitchen equipment supplier throughout to make sure every appliance is connected, tested and commissioned before opening day.
Can you work out of hours to avoid disruption to trading?
Yes. Out of hours working is standard practice for us on hospitality projects across the North East. We regularly work evenings, nights and weekends to fit around trading hours for restaurants, bars, hotels and cafes. All out of hours programmes are planned carefully to make sure the right trades, materials and equipment are in place before work begins so the available window is used as efficiently as possible. Out of hours working is priced transparently as part of your project quotation with no hidden premiums added after the fact.
How long does a restaurant fit-out take?
The timescale for a restaurant fit-out depends on the size of the space, the complexity of the kitchen installation and the specification of the fit-out. A straightforward restaurant fit-out for a small to medium sized venue typically takes between four and eight weeks from mobilisation to handover. Larger or more complex projects, those with significant kitchen installations or those being delivered out of hours around a partially trading venue will take longer. We always programme the works to your opening date and manage every trade to hit it. Get in touch and we will give you a realistic timescale based on your specific project.
Do you work in hotels as well as restaurants and bars?
Yes. We carry out refurbishment and construction works in hotels across the North East including bedroom programmes, public area refurbishments, restaurant and bar fit-out within hotel venues and back of house works. Hotel refurbishment requires careful programme planning to keep as many rooms and public areas trading as possible throughout the works. We phase hotel programmes to minimise revenue impact and work out of hours in public areas where noise and disruption to guests is not acceptable during trading hours.
