Holmes Other Equipment

The Holmes 1200mm single bowl sink with right hand drainer is a fully assembled wash station built from 304 stainless steel. It arrives ready to position and plumb, with no on-site fabrication required — a practical advantage when fitting out or refurbishing a kitchen to a tight schedule.

In day-to-day kitchen use, 304 stainless steel holds up well against the corrosion, heat exposure, and repeated chemical cleaning that commercial back-of-house areas demand. The textured right hand drainer channels water away effectively and reduces surface pooling during busy periods, which is a small but useful detail when ware is stacking up at the end of a service.

The main practical advantages of this unit are:

• Fully assembled on delivery — ready to install without on-site fabrication
• Integrated upstand helps protect adjacent walls from water splash
• Textured drainer promotes drainage and reduces pooling on the surface
• Underslung bottom shelf provides storage for cleaning materials or small equipment
• One standpipe included; taps are sold separately to allow your preferred fitting to be specified

Installation requires a standard hot and cold water supply and a waste outlet. Taps are not included and will need to be sourced and fitted separately. At 1200mm wide, the unit sits comfortably within a standard kitchen run. It is worth confirming doorway and corridor access before delivery, particularly in older or smaller premises, and checking floor load capacity where relevant. Once on site, the main tasks are positioning, levelling, and plumbing in.

This sink suits small to medium commercial kitchens, café back-of-house areas, staff canteens, and light food preparation environments where a single bowl with adjacent draining space is sufficient for the daily wash load. For higher-volume operations handling multiple simultaneous wash cycles, a larger or double-bowl configuration would be worth considering.

If you are planning a new kitchen fit-out or replacing existing wash stations and would like to talk through the right sink configuration for your operation, the team is glad to help before you place an order.

This Holmes sink unit is a single-bowl commercial sink with a left hand drainer, manufactured in 304 stainless steel at Holmes's production facility in York and delivered fully assembled. It arrives ready to connect — no on-site fabrication, no assembly.

Holmes has a long-standing background in commercial kitchen furniture, and that experience is reflected in the build quality of these sinks. The construction is designed to handle the realities of a working kitchen: repeated heavy use, the weight of large pots and gastronorm trays, and the general wear that comes with sustained daily service. The 48-litre bowl provides a practical working capacity for general kitchen washing tasks across a range of operation types.

From an operational standpoint, the fully assembled format reduces installation time and removes the risk of on-site fitting errors. Practical advantages include:

• 304 stainless steel construction — corrosion resistant and straightforward to clean and sanitise
• Arrives fully assembled — connect to water and waste and it is ready for use
• Robust build suited to the physical demands of continuous commercial service
• Left hand drainer configuration supports an intuitive wash-to-drain workflow
• Hygienic surface finish that supports food safety compliance

Installation requires hot and cold water supply and waste connections in the right position. The unit is 1200mm wide and 650mm deep, so it is worth confirming the footprint sits comfortably within your available bench run or wall space before ordering. At 17kg, it can be positioned and levelled without specialist lifting equipment in most cases.

This sink suits small to medium-sized commercial kitchens well — cafés, pub kitchens, small restaurant operations, and similar environments where a practical, reliable single-bowl sink is the right tool for the job. For higher-volume sites or kitchens with more demanding throughput requirements, a double-bowl or larger configuration may be more appropriate.

If you are weighing up the right size or layout for your kitchen, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to an order.
