ADDED TO ESTATE HISTORY
ONLY IN-HOUSE UK FABRICATOR
UK + IRELAND
Trusted by the UK’s leading hospitality and foodservice brands
Most multi-site operators are juggling 3–5 contractors across their estate. Different standards. Different response times. No single point of accountability.
R-TEC replaces all of them. One partner. One standard. Complete coverage across every site — from installation to ongoing service and fabrication.
No more chasing contractors
One number to call. One team accountable across every site. No more coordinating between suppliers, chasing updates, or explaining the same problem twice.
Your brand, protected
Inconsistent service across locations damages your reputation with customers and staff. R-TEC enforces the same standard at every site — so every location reflects well on you.
One less thing to worry about
Compliance, documentation, and audit trails are handled as part of the service. When inspectors arrive, everything is already in order — no scrambling, no gaps.

Trusted By Operators Who Can't Afford Downtime.
Multi-site operators across the UK rely on R-TEC to maintain uptime, control costs and deliver consistent kitchen performance.
"R-TEC understands that for us, downtime isn't an option. They moved us away from the headaches of aging equipment with a level of support tailored to our specific needs. Their prompt service and ready-to-go stock ensure that swapping a unit happens with minimal disruption. They aren’t just a dealer, they are a critical partner in our operational success."
I have been working with R-TEC for over 12 years and have found them to be a most reliable and knowledgeable supplier. When I first started working with them at a high-end restaurant group, our RATIONAL ovens were serviced and repaired by our standard catering contractor, who did not have the specific expertise. It soon became obvious that such a versatile and indispensable piece of equipment required a specialist service, and R-TEC have provided exactly that. Overall, our business benefits from their expertise in maximising productivity and minimising downtime and I would personally endorse them to anyone needing their specialist services.
