Used commercial catering equipment
Commercial kitchen equipment reaches the market when a site closes, a menu changes or an operator refits. Stainless steel preparation equipment in particular lasts far longer than the business that bought it, and a closure often puts a complete, coherent kitchen on the market at once.

LotLoop is new and this category has no live listings today. Tell us what you are looking for and we will go and find it — buyers can post a request for equipment that is not yet listed.
Not sure what it is worth? We publish sourced UK price ranges, free and without signing up: used combi oven and used commercial refrigeration.
What decides whether used catering kit is a good buy is service condition and compliance rather than looks. Gas appliances, refrigeration and extraction all carry obligations that follow the equipment into your kitchen, and those are the questions worth asking first.

- Refrigeration, freezers and blast chillers

What to check before you buy
Gas safety and certification
Commercial gas appliances must be installed and certified by a registered engineer. Ask about the last gas safety record and budget for recommissioning.
Refrigeration gas and condition
Check the refrigerant type, whether it is still legal and supported, and ask when the unit last held temperature reliably. Compressors are the expensive part.
Seals, hinges and interiors
Door seals, hinges and interior condition tell you how hard a unit has worked. They are also the cheap repairs that signal the expensive ones.
Power and services
Confirm single or three phase, gas type and water requirements against what your kitchen actually has. A three-phase oven in a single-phase kitchen is a large unexpected bill.
Dimensions and access
Measure the route in, not just the space it will sit in. Commercial kitchen equipment regularly fits the gap and not the doorway.
How buying works on LotLoop
Every listing is reviewed by a person before it is published — nothing goes live automatically. Sellers are businesses, checked against their Companies House record, and the result of that check is shown on the listing. You can buy at a fixed price, make an offer, or request an inspection first.
The buyer pays on the platform and LotLoop holds the seller’s transfer until collection or delivery has been verified. This is not escrow and we do not describe it as such: it is a delayed transfer against an evidenced handover.
Sellers pay 0% commission, permanently. The LotLoop commission sits on the buyer’s side and is 0% for the first six months after public launch. Payment handling is charged separately to the buyer.
Questions
Can I buy a complete kitchen?
Where an operator is clearing a site, often yes. Full clearances are listed as such, and you can make an offer on a whole lot or ask about part of it.
Does used catering equipment come with certification?
Ask through the listing. Gas appliances in particular need commissioning by a registered engineer on installation, and that cost belongs in your budget regardless of what the seller holds.
What condition are listings in?
Condition is stated on every listing, along with declared defects and photographs. Listings are reviewed by a person before publication.

If you have surplus equipment in this category, listing costs nothing and you receive the full amount you list or agree. Submit it privately and nothing is published until LotLoop has reviewed it.
