Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Refrigeration
What are commercial kitchen refrigeration solutions?
Commercial kitchen refrigeration solutions include the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of professional cooling equipment used to safely store food and drinks. This ranges from upright fridges and freezers to bottle coolers, display cabinets, and bespoke refrigeration for demanding kitchen environments.
What types of commercial refrigeration are available?
Common refrigeration types include:
-
Upright fridges and freezers
-
Under-counter refrigeration
-
Bottle fridges and bar refrigeration
-
Chilled display cabinets
-
Remote refrigeration systems
-
Cookline-compatible refrigeration
The right solution depends on space, usage, temperature requirements, and workflow.
Are there refrigeration units suitable for cooklines?
Yes. Specialist refrigeration units can be installed within cooklines, including under-counter refrigeration designed to operate near high-heat appliances such as chargrills. Correct specification and ventilation are essential for reliable performance.
Can commercial refrigeration be installed in a plant room?
Yes. Many systems are designed for installation in plant rooms, especially remote refrigeration setups. Plant room installations help reduce kitchen noise and heat while improving accessibility for maintenance.
Can commercial refrigeration be installed outside?
Yes. Certain refrigeration systems are suitable for external installation, provided they are designed for outdoor use and protected from weather conditions. This is assessed during the site survey.
What regulations apply to commercial kitchen refrigeration?
Commercial refrigeration must support food hygiene requirements by maintaining safe storage temperatures. Installations must also follow health & safety compliant practices and environmental regulations relating to refrigerants.
What refrigerant gases are used in commercial refrigeration?
Commercial refrigeration systems may use several types of refrigerant gases, including modern low-global-warming-potential (GWP) options. The choice depends on system design, efficiency requirements, and environmental compliance.
What is F-Gas?
F-Gas refers to fluorinated greenhouse gases used in refrigeration systems. UK regulations control how F-Gases are handled, installed, and disposed of to reduce environmental impact. Systems must be installed and maintained correctly to comply with F-Gas regulations.
Can commercial refrigeration units be scrapped?
Yes. Old commercial refrigeration units can be safely decommissioned and scrapped in line with environmental regulations. This includes correct recovery of refrigerant gases before disposal.
How can I get rid of an old refrigeration unit?
Old units can be removed as part of an upgrade or replacement project. Safe disposal includes refrigerant recovery and responsible recycling, which is handled as part of the service where required.
Do you supply bottle fridges and bar refrigeration?
Yes. Bottle fridges and bar refrigeration can be supplied and installed to suit bars, cafés, and hospitality venues, supporting fast service and efficient storage.
Do you supply chilled display cabinets?
Yes. Chilled display cabinets are available for cafés, retail counters, and front-of-house areas, designed to keep products at safe temperatures while maintaining visibility and presentation.
Can you commission and calibrate refrigeration systems?
Yes. Refrigeration systems are fully commissioned and calibrated to ensure correct temperatures, efficient operation, and reliable performance from day one.
How do I start a commercial refrigeration project?
The first step is a site survey. This allows space, temperature requirements, access, plant location, and operational needs to be assessed before system selection and installation.
Do you offer site surveys and quotations?
Yes. A free site survey and quotation is provided to assess your requirements and supply accurate pricing before work begins.
What measurements or information are needed for refrigeration installation?
Key considerations include available space, ceiling height, access routes, electrical capacity, ventilation, and intended storage volumes. These are typically confirmed during the site survey.
How much does commercial kitchen refrigeration cost?
Costs depend on equipment type, capacity, system complexity, and installation requirements. While budget is important, investing in correctly specified refrigeration helps prevent breakdowns, temperature issues, and food waste.
Do you work with engineers and installers?
Yes. Refrigeration projects are coordinated with engineers and installers to ensure systems integrate smoothly with kitchens, bars, and plant areas.
What areas do you cover for commercial refrigeration solutions?
Commercial kitchen refrigeration design, supply, installation, commissioning, and decommissioning services are available across London, Essex, and inside and around the M25.
Why choose specialist commercial kitchen refrigeration solutions?
Specialists understand temperature control, environmental regulations, and real-world kitchen demands. This ensures refrigeration systems are compliant, efficient, and reliable—protecting stock and supporting smooth operations.
