Cold Room Repairs & Installation · All of Cumbria
Cold room repairs and installation in Cumbria
Design and installation of new cold rooms, plus repairs to panels, doors, controls and refrigeration equipment on existing rooms.
Our Services
Repairs
Doors that no longer seal, panels that have taken a pallet truck, failed door heaters, iced evaporators, controllers stuck in defrost, and rooms that simply will not pull down to temperature any more.
New installations
We survey the space, size the plant for the real heat load and the door traffic, and build to fit — including the awkward rooms in old Cumbrian buildings where nothing is square.
Who we look after
The businesses we keep running
Commercial cooling covers a lot of ground. If your trade depends on stock staying at temperature, or on customers being comfortable, it is work we do every week.
Hospitality
- Pubs, inns and hotels
- Restaurants and gastropubs
- Cafés, delis and coffee shops
Food & Drink
- Butchers, bakers and fishmongers
- Farm shops and food producers
- Breweries and bottle shops
Retail
- Supermarkets
- Convenience stores and village shops
- Holiday parks and campsites
Care & Community
- Care homes
- Village halls and community buildings
Education & Workplaces
- Schools, colleges and nurseries
- Offices, salons and server rooms
Producers & Specialist Sites
- Farm shops and food producers
- Breweries and bottle shops
- Cold stores and packing rooms
Different businesses. Different cooling demands.
Every one of those has different demands. A village shop needs a display cabinet that holds temperature through a hot Bank Holiday with the door opening every thirty seconds. A care home kitchen has to evidence food safety records. A pub cellar has to hold eleven to thirteen degrees through a Saturday night with the hatch open. We size, install and maintain for the job in front of us rather than fitting whatever is on the shelf.
Planned maintenance
Planned preventative
maintenance
Our maintenance agreements include planned visits through the year, agreed to suit your equipment. Each visit includes:
Inspect equipment condition and operation
Check refrigerant pressures and temperatures
Inspect for visible refrigerant leaks
Clean accessible condenser and evaporator coils
Check compressors, fans and motors
Inspect electrical terminals and controls
Check filters, condensate trays and drains
Verify thermostat/controller operation
Record electrical and operating readings
Issue a written service report with recommendations
Cabinet or cold room running warmer than its set point
Ice building up on the evaporator or around the door
The unit runs constantly and never cycles off
Unusual noise from the condensing unit
Water pooling underneath or inside the cabinet
Electricity bills climbing with no change in trade
The system trips the breaker or keeps resetting
Cellar cooling not holding its set temperature
When to call
Signs your equipment needs attention
Most breakdowns give warning first. Catching any of these early is almost always cheaper than an emergency call-out and a skip full of stock.
If you have noticed any of these, ring us before it fails properly. A refrigerant leak found on a service visit is a straightforward repair; the same leak found on a Friday night is a lost weekend of trading, a claim on your stock, and a food safety problem you have to evidence afterwards.
Planned work
Booked around your trading hours
We schedule servicing for when you are quiet, not when you are busy. Early mornings before a kitchen opens, weekday afternoons for a pub, or a full shutdown week for a bigger site.

What happens when you call us out
You deal directly with us, not a call centre.
Cumbria-wide
Wherever you are in the county
Our engineers are out across Cumbria every day — Carlisle and the north, the west coast, Furness and the south, and the whole of the Lake District in between.
Where we work
Cold rooms across Cumbria
North Cumbria and the Eden Valley
Carlisle, Penrith, Brampton, Wigton, Appleby-in-Westmorland and Kirkby Stephen are covered on a northern round. Most of the work up here is commercial refrigeration for the city's convenience stores, restaurants and care homes, along with cellar cooling for the pubs and hotels, and air conditioning for offices and salons.
The Lakes and the south
Kendal, Windermere, Ambleside, Keswick, Coniston, Kirkby Lonsdale, Sedbergh and Grange-over-Sands are tourist towns where kitchens and cellars work hardest in season. We fit and service VRF and multi-split systems for hotels, keep display cabinets running for delis and farm shops, and handle breakdowns and call-outs through the summer.
The west coast
Whitehaven, Workington, Cockermouth, Maryport, Egremont, Cleator Moor, Silloth and Seascale sit on the coastal run. Salt air is hard on condensers, so this is where planned servicing earns its keep, and where a lot of our cold room repair and installation work comes from.
Furness and the far west
Barrow-in-Furness, Ulverston, Dalton-in-Furness, Millom, Haverigg, Bootle and Broughton-in-Furness are on our doorstep — we are based at Steel Green in Haverigg. We cover everything from heat pump servicing to air handling unit maintenance. If you are unsure whether you are in range, ring us: we cover the whole of Cumbria.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Most often a refrigerant loss, an iced evaporator, a failed defrost, or a door seal letting warm air in all day. All four are usually repairable.
A straightforward room is typically two to three days on site once panels arrive. We will give you a realistic date, and work around trading hours where we can.
Yes. Doors, seals, heaters and individual panels can all be replaced without rebuilding the room.
Usually yes. Modern insulation and controls, correctly sized, use noticeably less than a twenty year old room with tired seals.
Yes, and we plan around service times. Most kitchens cannot lose their cold storage for a day, so we sequence the work accordingly.
