Asletts Ltd was appointed to carry out an urgent cook line replacement project at Brown’s in Brighton, a busy and fully operational pub kitchen. The works needed to be completed entirely out of hours to ensure zero disruption to trading, staff, or customers.
The project required a fast, efficient approach combined with the flexibility to respond to unforeseen issues uncovered during strip-out.
Client: Brown’s Kitchen, Brighton
Project Duration: Two Nights (out of hours work)
Completion Date: December 2025
Brighton, East Sussex
The project presented several key challenges:
• Completing all works overnight to avoid impacting daily kitchen operations
• Safely removing existing commercial kitchen equipment within a tight timeframe
• Addressing unexpected subfloor damage caused by long-term water and grease ingress
• Delivering a robust, long-lasting solution ready for the new cook line installation
Brown’s required an experienced commercial contractor capable of working efficiently in a live hospitality environment with minimal margin for error.
Asletts mobilised a specialist team to deliver the works over two consecutive nights, ensuring the kitchen was fully operational each morning. During the initial strip-out, issues with the existing subfloor were identified and addressed immediately.
The works included:
• Safe isolation and removal of all existing cook line equipment
• Removal of compromised subfloor materials affected by water and grease leakage
• Installation of a new, structurally sound subfloor
• Preparation and reinstatement of the floor, ready for new commercial kitchen flooring
• Careful coordination of overnight working to maintain normal pub operations
By reacting quickly to site conditions and maintaining clear communication throughout, the team ensured the programme remained on track.
The kitchen floor was fully restored and prepared to a high standard, providing a solid and reliable base for the new cook line installation. The project was completed entirely out of hours across two nights, allowing Brown’s to continue trading as normal with no disruption to staff or customers.
The swift turnaround and proactive problem-solving resulted in a durable, future-proof solution for the kitchen.
This cook line replacement project at Brown’s demonstrates Asletts’ ability to deliver time-critical commercial kitchen refurbishments with minimal operational impact. From overnight working to resolving unforeseen structural issues, the project highlights the team’s flexibility, technical expertise, and commitment to keeping businesses running smoothly.
Client Feedback:
“The team worked incredibly efficiently and professionally. Completing the works overnight meant there was no disruption to our service, and the way they dealt with the unexpected subfloor issues gave us real confidence. A great result delivered in a very short timeframe.”
