What we do
Commercial refrigeration installation
New fit-out, kitchen expansion, or replacing a tired system? We work out what your space and product actually need — size, load, door traffic, where the plant can sit — and then supply, install and commission it. One team for the whole job, so you’re not chasing multiple trades. That includes complete cool room and freezer room builds: we design, supply and install the panel room as well as the refrigeration.
Commercial refrigeration repairs
We fault-find properly and fix the cause, not just the symptom. Most commercial repairs come down to a handful of things — refrigerant leaks, fans, controllers, door seals, defrost problems, compressors, or blocked and dirty coils — and we carry common parts so we can sort most faults on the first visit where possible.

Scheduled servicing and maintenance
Most breakdowns give some warning first — a unit running longer than it should, ice building where it shouldn’t, a temperature that drifts in the afternoon. Regular servicing picks this up early. We offer scheduled maintenance for commercial operators: inspection, cleaning, refrigerant and electrical checks, and a short report so you know where your equipment stands.

Why downtime costs more than the repair
A commercial refrigeration fault rarely costs just the repair bill. Depending on your business, it can mean:
- Stock loss — product that’s been out of temperature for too long may need to be thrown out
- Lost trading — a kitchen without a working cool room can’t run a full menu
- Food safety obligations — you need to keep cold food at safe temperatures and be able to show it
- Staff time — shifting stock between units and juggling orders instead of serving customers
That’s why we push servicing. It’s cheaper to catch a failing fan motor on a routine visit than to deal with it on a Saturday morning with a full cool room.
