A SIMPLE, DIRECT PROCESS
How this works
One clear request. A direct introduction to firms that cover your area.
- 01
Tell us about the site
Submitting a request takes about two minutes.
- 02
We match by coverage
Site details, equipment type, and current service arrangements are routed to refrigeration engineers and maintenance contractors covering the area.
- 03
Speak to the firm directly
A qualified engineer then contacts the business directly to discuss servicing schedules, F-Gas record keeping, and contract options.
Noting the number of units, refrigerant types where known, and existing compliance paperwork in the request speeds up the first conversation.
GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
How often are commercial walk-in freezers legally required to have F-Gas leak checks?
UK F-Gas regulations mandate leak checks every 12, 6, or 3 months, depending on the system's CO2 equivalent charge. If permanent automatic leak detection is installed, these intervals double to 24, 12, or 6 months. Site operators in Nottingham must maintain detailed logbooks recording refrigerant additions, recovered quantities, and technician certifications for at least five years.
What does a planned preventative maintenance contract cover on an industrial walk-in freezer?
PPM contracts for walk-in freezers operating at frozen thresholds (-18°C to -25°C) typically inspect door-seal integrity, evaporator defrost cycles, and heater tape functionality. Technicians also test and calibrate temperature loggers and critical alarm systems. Facilities across Colwick Industrial Estate (NG4) rely on these routine mechanical and electrical inspections to maintain compliance and protect stock.
How does scheduled servicing reduce energy costs and avoid unplanned freezer breakdowns?
Regular servicing cleans condenser coils, optimises refrigerant charges, and checks defrost termination, which prevents compressors from overworking and drawing excessive electricity. For logistics and chilled convenience foods distribution hubs in Nottingham, routine maintenance catches worn components before catastrophic mechanical failures occur, significantly lowering operational running costs and avoiding stock loss from unplanned downtime.

COMPLIANCE & TECHNICAL SPECS
Temperature zones available
Planned preventative maintenance contracts ensure walk-in freezers strictly adhere to statutory F-Gas compliance, with leak-check intervals scheduled at 12, 6, or 3 months depending on the system's CO2-equivalent charge. Technicians verify defrost heater termination, clean iced evaporator fins, and test door-seal integrity to stop warm air ingress that forces compressors into high head pressures. …

Engineers also calibrate secondary temperature logging probes and critical fault alarms holding -18°C to -25°C. Addressing clogged condensers, worn gaskets, and refrigerant undercharge yields immediate energy savings while eliminating the primary triggers for unexpected compressor downtime.
