Cold Room and Refrigeration Maintenance Contracts

New outdoor condensing unit ready for installation

We design, manufacture and install cold rooms, so we know how they fail. A UK Coldroom maintenance contract puts our engineers on a fixed schedule at your site, keeps your F-Gas records in order and catches faults before they cost you stock.

Plan it first with Yutab. Need a new room as well? Yutab is our free online cold room designer. Draw your room and send the design straight to our engineers. Design your room with Yutab →

What a maintenance visit covers

  • Room temperature, controller settings and alarm test
  • Evaporator and condenser coil cleaning
  • Defrost operation and drain line check
  • Door seals, hinges, closers and heater frames
  • Electrical connections and fan motors
  • Refrigerant leak check and F-Gas record update
  • A written visit report with any faults and recommended work

For a site team’s own weekly checks between visits, see our cold room servicing checklist.

A contract built around your site

No two sites use their refrigeration the same way, so we tailor the contract to yours. After a first survey visit we agree with you:

  • How often we visit, based on how hard your equipment works, where the condensers are and how busy your doors are
  • Which equipment is covered: cold rooms, freezer rooms, blast chillers, condensing units and commercial fridges
  • How breakdowns are handled between planned visits
  • What reports and records you need, for your own checks, your insurer or your food safety inspector

F-Gas leak checks

Systems containing fluorinated refrigerant above the legal threshold must be leak-checked at set intervals, which depend on the refrigerant charge measured in tonnes of CO₂ equivalent, and the checks must be recorded. We are a REFCOM F-Gas certified company and keep these records for you. Read more in our F-Gas regulations guide.

Who it is for

Restaurants and commercial kitchens, bakeries, supermarkets and convenience stores, food producers and wholesalers, breweries, florists, schools and universities. See all our services.

Why planned maintenance pays

A blocked condenser or a worn door seal raises running costs long before it causes a breakdown. Planned visits are almost always cheaper than emergency call-outs and lost stock. Read reactive repairs or planned maintenance? for the full comparison.

Equipment we cover

Walk-in cold rooms, freezer rooms, blast chillers, condensing units and commercial fridges and freezers from most manufacturers, including equipment that another company installed. We work on commercial refrigeration only.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a cold room be serviced?

It depends on how hard the equipment works, where the condenser is and how often the door is opened. We recommend a frequency for your site after the first visit.

Can you take over maintenance of equipment another company installed?

Yes. On the first visit we survey the equipment and tell you anything that needs attention before the contract starts.

Do you keep our F-Gas records?

Yes. Leak checks are recorded on every relevant visit.
