Cold rooms and walk-in freezers in Essex

Essex has the full range of cold room customers in one county: restaurants, takeaways and convenience stores in the London-border towns and the new towns of Basildon and Harlow; seafood and seafront catering along the estuary at Leigh-on-Sea and Southend; farm shops and growers across the mid-Essex countryside; and food wholesalers, importers and third-party logistics operators around the Thames ports at Tilbury and London Gateway, where frozen and chilled stock moves in volume. The cold rooms we install for a Chelmsford restaurant and the cold stores we design for a Thurrock distributor are different projects, and each page explains what to expect.

Shop fitting in Essex

Convenience stores, supermarkets, butchers, bakeries and takeaways across the county: shelving, counters, display fridges and the stockroom cold room, planned together and installed in phases so an existing shop keeps trading. See our shop fitting page.
