About us

Established in 1978, the name Flomatic has been synonymous with customer service and client satisfaction. At that time we were, and still are, one of a few Registered Mineralisers of Methylated Spirit. In those early days we supplied not only Trusthouse Forte, but other hospitality industry icons such as the Savoy, Simpsons in the Strand and the Ritz, to name but a few. We continue to trade with over 30 years’ experience available in all fields. Offering a national Restaurant Fuel Service, Ambience Lighting and Specialist Kitchen Supplies we are able to react quickly and efficiently to our customers requirements.

Flomatic is now a major importer of Chafing Fuel into the UK and, as such, is able to offer you outstanding value for money – whatever quantities you require. We offer a range of products to the hospitality industry including the Lumea and Genware ranges as well as fuel and chafing dishes.

We also have access to a comprehensive range of highest quality detergents and rinse additives, degreasers, sterilisers, cleaners and chemical monitoring and control systems, for cellar, kitchen and bar and unrivalled excellence in Commercial Glasswashing and Dishwashing, (via our sister companies Chemisphere UK and Great Eastern Service Company)  what more could you wish for if you run a catering, licensed trade or hospitality operation?

If you have any questions or require advice regarding any of our products then please either call us Freephone on 0800 597 7448 or visit our contact page by clicking here.

We look forward to doing business with you.

Our history

We have not always been a specialist in Restaurant Services. The Company was established in 1978, its core business being the sale and installation of commercial dishwashing machines, this making us pioneers in the early days of mechanised commercial dish and glasswashing. We then went on to develop the concept of a single supplier providing not only the hardware, but the water treatment,chemical supply and pre and post warranty services.

Flomatic quickly became – and still is – the foremost distributor of Mineralised Methylated Spirits to the UK catering industry. With the advent of chafing dishes and the consequent requirement for chafing fuel, Flomatic has established itself as one of the leading importers of chafing products.

We are the leading UK importer of HOTSTUFF chafing fuels; the genuine premium quality long-burning world-leading products. Satisfied and regular customers range from the largest and most prestigious hotels and establishments to the smallest of catering operations.

Always striving to develop, improve and expand our product range we have recently added more TURBO cleaning products to our portfolio, these include a range of washing up liquids and surface sprays. The Company was taken over in 2010 by Renovate Ltd retaining the existing knowledgeable workforce and continues to trade with over 30 years experience available in all fields. So, there we have it, a thoroughly well-established East Midlands company which provides a national Restaurant Fuel service, Ambiance lighting and Specialist kitchen supplies.
