Fridge repair for London commercial kitchens on our radius

We repair and maintain commercial fridges for London businesses. When a cabinet warms and stock is at risk, tell us the unit type, current temperature and postcode so we can advise on the next available response. Our work is for trade equipment in restaurants, pubs, takeaways, hotels, shops and catering kitchens; household appliances are outside the service.

Fridge service London for commercial kitchens

Cold Direct offers planned servicing for commercial fridges in London. Depending on the cabinet, a visit may check condenser condition and airflow, door seals, fans, controls and operating temperatures. The scope is agreed for the equipment at your site. For planned visits or a service contract, see our commercial refrigeration servicing page. If the fridge has already failed, use our commercial fridge repair service.

On a commercial fridge we treat the job as food safety. We use a temperature probe on air and product. We write readings for HACCP and for the EHO. Common commercial faults are blocked condensers, split gaskets, iced evaporators, failed fans and controllers that no longer match the food. Brands we see every week include Polar, Adexa Direct, Empire, Williams, Foster, True and Blizzard. See the brand pages for Polar, Adexa and Empire if you already know the plate.

For a household fridge in a flat or house, contact a domestic appliance repair specialist. Cold Direct repairs commercial equipment only.

24/7 emergency fridge repair for trade sites covers Camden, Islington, the City, Westminster, Barnet, Harrow, Watford, Tottenham, Edmonton, Walthamstow, Finchley, Wood Green, Hackney, Haringey, Stratford, Romford, Ilford, Enfield, Southgate and the rest of Greater London inside 25 miles of North London. Call mobile 07983 759320, freephone 0800 112 3427 or London office 0203 952 4822.

What to have ready when you call

This fridge repair service is for trade equipment in businesses. Have your postcode, cabinet make and model, displayed temperature and a brief description of the fault ready. Mention any alarm code and whether the unit is an upright, under-counter, prep or display fridge. We quote the repair after diagnosing the fault, before work starts.

FAQ

Do you repair domestic fridge in London?

No, commercial only. We repair restaurants, bars and shops. We do not repair domestic fridge-freezers in houses. Call 020 3952 4822 if the plant is trade.

Do you probe temperatures?

Yes on trade jobs. Probe readings support HACCP and EHO records.

What area do you cover?

North London and a 25 mile radius across London, Hertfordshire and Essex.

What does a call-out cost?

We quote the repair before we start work, once the engineer has diagnosed the fault on site. There is no surprise invoice - you approve the price, then we fix it.

Fridge Repair in London - 24/7 Emergency Specialists

A warm trade fridge is a stock write-off, not a maintenance note. Cold Direct has fixed commercial fridges across London for 15+ years, with F-Gas certified engineers who quote a fixed price before touching the gas circuit. We aim for a 2-4 hour emergency callout across our 25 mile radius from North London, seven days a week, because a display fridge that has climbed above 8°C during Saturday service cannot wait for a Monday slot. Call 07983 759320 and we book the job on the same call.

Why Your Fridge Stopped Working

Fridge Types and Brands We Repair in London

We attend upright, under-counter, prep and display fridges for restaurants, pubs, cafes and shops across London. Most weeks that means Williams and Foster uprights, plus Polar and Gram under-counters on smaller kitchens. If the data plate is still legible we fit the correct genuine part rather than a compatible substitute.

Emergency Fridge Repair Across London

We cover Camden, Islington, the City, Westminster, Barnet and Enfield within our 25 mile radius from North London. We aim for a two-to-four-hour response, subject to postcode and engineer availability, on our 24/7 emergency diary. Call 07983 759320 and tell us the postcode and the symptom - we will give you a realistic arrival time on that call, not a callback promise.

How fast can you attend a fridge breakdown in London?

Most trade jobs inside London get a 2-4 hour slot, sooner if an engineer is already local. Night and weekend breakdowns go straight on the 24/7 emergency list, not a Monday queue.

Do you repair domestic fridges?

No. Cold Direct is commercial only - restaurants, pubs, shops, hotels and catering sites. We do not take house fridge-freezer call-outs.

What does a call-out cost?

We quote the repair before we start work, once the engineer has diagnosed the fault on site. There is no surprise invoice - you approve the price, then we fix it.
