Commercial refrigeration engineers — Enfield and Greater London
Walk-in chillers, freezer rooms and catering cold stores for restaurants, butchers, hotels and production kitchens. Trade only. 24/7 emergency.
Cold storage on a trade site is not a domestic fridge with a bigger door. It is a room, a pack, evaporators, a door heater and a controller that has to hold a set point while staff walk in and out all service. When the air climbs, meat, dairy and prep lose the day. Cold Direct attends commercial cold storage across Greater London from 27 Felixstowe Road, Enfield N9 0DX. We are commercial only. We do not take house calls.
This hub is for kitchens that need the right money page, not a guess. A chill room that should sit near +2 to +4 °C is a different job from a freeze store at −18 °C. A cabinet on the pass is a different job again. Use the links below and we will still confirm the plant on the phone from a data-plate photo.
Most restaurant and hotel stores in North London are walk-in chillers: boxed rooms with a ceiling evaporator, a remote or housed condensing unit, and a door that takes a beating. Common faults are iced coils after a wet load, a failed door heater that lets the gasket freeze, a blocked condenser on a backyard unit, or a controller that lost its set point after a power cut. We recover leak sites, weigh in refrigerant to the plate, and write air temperatures for your HACCP sheet.
Book cold room repair London for boxed chill and freeze rooms, walk-in fridge repair London when the room is a fridge store, or walk-in chiller repair if the site already uses that name. Same engineers. Same vans. The URL is so search and staff pick the right page.
A freezer room that will not pull down after a delivery is usually ice on the coil, a stuck defrost, or a door left on the latch. Product in the doorway does not count as a gas leak. We say so if that is the whole visit. If the room is a dedicated freeze store, use freezer room repair London or walk-in freezer room repair London. Mixed sites with both a chill room and a freeze room often share a pack; we isolate which circuit is in trouble before we open the system.
Prep fridges, undercounters and pass cabinets fail on the same night as the walk-in. That is still commercial refrigeration, not a domestic call. See commercial fridge repair London for catering cabinets. If you also run blast kit or an ice-cream freezer, the sister hub is blast freezing.
We test electrics, look at superheat and subcooling, check fans, heaters and the door circuit, and only recover gas when the readings say the charge is wrong or there is a leak. We do not “top up and hope”. Send a photo of the data plate. Typical emergency attendance is two to four hours, including evenings and Sundays when the diary allows. Coverage is 25 miles from Enfield. Call 07983 759320, 0800 112 3427 or 0203 952 4822. Email info@colddirect.co.uk.
