Choosing the right capacity matters.

Oversized washing machines waste water and energy. Undersized units create bottlenecks and slow your operation. Getting the right commercial washing machine for your facility is about matching capacity to your actual load volumes - not just picking the biggest option.

Our team helps hospitality, healthcare, and institutional clients select washers that deliver efficiency, reliability and the throughput you need. The right fit means lower running costs and consistent results.

Let's find the perfect machine for your operation. Get in touch.

We're currently underway on a full commercial kitchen refurbishment at a dementia care home in Manchester - upgrading the site's catering equipment to support safe, reliable meal service for residents and staff for years to come.

In care settings, kitchen reliability isn't just about efficiency. It's about consistency for residents who depend on a stable routine, and compliance with the standards care providers are held to.

Our engineers are working through the refit with that in mind, from equipment specification through to installation and commissioning.

We'll be sharing more as the project progresses. Contact the team for advice on catering equipment upgrades for care and healthcare settings.

Match day. Concert night. Major event.

Stadiums see some of the highest washroom footfall of the year - and the window between crowds is short.

Katrin high-capacity dispensers and soaps are built for exactly this. Fast to refill. Reliable under pressure. Consistent for every single user coming through the door.

Because in a 40,000 capacity venue, 'good enough' isn't good enough.

Festival fields. Campsite facilities. Temporary washrooms under serious pressure.

When the venue gets hectic, hygiene can slip. But it doesn't have to.

Katrin’s soft tissue, gentle soaps and reliable dispensers make it easy for guests to wash and dry properly - no matter how busy or basic the setup.

Great experiences start with clean hands. Even under canvas.

Congratulations to Luke on passing his F-Gas Theory exam.

Scoring 72.5% in a qualification widely recognised as a tough one is a brilliant result and a real credit to the hard work and professionalism Luke has shown throughout his training.

At Sylvester Keal we believe in investing in our people and supporting them to develop and it's genuinely rewarding to see that matched by Luke's dedication, positive attitude and willingness to learn. The F-Gas qualification is an important step in his progression as an engineer and one he should be proud of.

A big mention too for Paul, whose mentorship has been instrumental in getting Luke to this point. Sharing knowledge, offering guidance and helping bring on the next generation of engineers is something we value hugely here and Paul deserves real credit for the part he's played.

Well done, Luke. Here's to the next stage of the journey.
