Cellar too warm? We provide cellar repair and cellar repair London-wide: cellar cooler repair London, pub & bar cellar cooling repair and planned service for keg and cask cellars, with 24/7 emergency cover and a fixed-price diagnosis. Commercial hospitality sites only.
We provide both repair and service / maintenance for cellar coolers and beer chillers. A cellar cooler is the plant that keeps a pub or bar in business. If the cellar climbs, kegs fob, cask goes off, and the manager spends the night pouring waste. Restaurants with a drinks cellar, hotels with function bars, and members’ clubs have the same problem. Cellar cooler repair is commercial refrigeration, not a DIY thermostat job. Cold Direct is commercial-only. We are North London Commercial Refrigeration Engineers covering London and a 25 mile radius into Hertfordshire and Essex.
Chiller repair London for a pub cellar is usually this plant. Cellar cooler service London is PPM: we clean the condenser, check the evaporator, clear the drain and probe keg temperature, not the doorway. Servicing before a bank holiday weekend stops the Saturday fob. A service contract puts the wall unit or split on a diary so hop dust does not bury the fans. We still attend 24/7 when the cellar is already warm. Planned servicing is how bars keep cask and keg in spec without guessing.
Most cellar coolers are a wall unit or a split with the condenser in a yard or at high level. They fail because the condenser is blocked with dust and hop debris, the evaporator is iced, the drain is blocked, the fan has seized, or the room heat load has grown after a new keg fridge was added. We measure cellar temperature at the kegs, not at the door, and we look at how the room is packed. A cooler that is buried behind stacked empties cannot work.
Friday night in Camden, Islington, Hackney, the City or Westminster is not the time to discover the cellar is at sixteen degrees. The same is true for pubs in Barnet, Finchley, Wood Green, Tottenham, Enfield, Southgate, Harrow, Watford and St Albans, and for venues in Stratford, Romford and Ilford. We cover those areas plus Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Cockfosters, Potters Bar, Borehamwood, Edmonton, Walthamstow, Chingford, Cheshunt, Waltham Cross, Harlow and Haringey. Enfield is one of many towns on the list. The company line is North London and London coverage.
We work around cellar cooling brands and generic wall units, and we repair associated Williams, Foster, Polar, Blizzard, Gram, True, Hoshizaki, Lec, Snomaster and Tefcold cabinets that often sit in the same cellar. If you have a bottle cooler on the back bar that is also down, say so on the call and we will plan the visit.
24/7 emergency is built for lock-ins, night porters and early deliveries. Call the mobile first after hours. Use freephone from the landline behind the bar. Use the London office for a planned service before a bank holiday. All three numbers are in the header, footer, sticky bar and the buttons on this page so a new manager can find them.
We quote before we start. If the cooler is undersized for a cellar that was extended, we will say so rather than fit another fan and hope. If a clean, a drain and a fan motor will get you through the weekend, that is the job. Keep the cellar door shut until we arrive unless you need to move stock for safety.
