Commercial Refrigeration Engineers North London - 24/7 Emergency
Commercial Catering Equipment Specialists
Catering repair London is what Cold Direct does when a restaurant, cafe, takeaway, hotel kitchen or contract catering site loses refrigeration. We are commercial refrigeration engineers, not a mixed domestic appliance firm. If the pass fridge, walk-in, prep counter or cellar plant is down, covers and stock are at risk. We attend 24/7 across North London and London. Related pages: commercial appliances repair London and appliances repair London.
Restaurants and cafes run a mix of under-counter fridges, uprights and glass displays in hot kitchens. Takeaways pack fryer-side cabinets that clog condensers with grease. Hotels need night work when the walk-in climbs. We book the engineer on the phone, ask for the air temperature and the make on the data plate, and aim for same-day attendance in North London. Tell us whether it is a cabinet or a plant room so we load the right parts.
Fridge not cooling is usually a dirty condenser, a failed evaporator fan, or a controller that lost its set point after a power cut. Ice build up on a catering freezer or prep well comes from torn gaskets, blocked drains, or staff chipping ice with a knife - we will not ask anyone to do that. Door seal failure lets warm kitchen air in and the plant runs flat out until the compressor trips. Compressor failure needs a clear diagnosis: we measure air on and off the coil before we talk about a replacement. A gas leak recharge is only done after we find and repair the leak; F-Gas work is certified, not a top-up in the car park.
We also see cellar plant rooms with blocked condensers, bottle coolers iced solid after a busy weekend, and walk-ins stacked so tight that airflow dies. On arrival we probe food if you need a HACCP note, inspect door furniture with a paper test, and quote in plain English. Then we fix. Brands we see in catering kitchens include Foster, True, Williams, Gram, Polar, Blizzard and Hoshizaki.
