Cold rooms for Kent's food businesses

Kent grows, lands and imports more food than most counties, and each part needs different cold storage. Fruit growers and farm shops need produce stores at +1 to +4 °C with high humidity, sized by the tonnes picked at the peak of the season, and a chilled room behind the shop for meat, dairy and prepared food; controlled-atmosphere stores for long-term apple storage are specialist plant, and we will tell you honestly whether a standard chilled store does what you need. Seafood businesses along the coast at Whitstable, Margate and Folkestone need 0 to +2 °C storage with ice and drainage. Importers, hauliers and distributors around Dover, Folkestone and Ashford, and along the Thames at Dartford and Gravesend, need chilled and frozen cold stores with dock access. Restaurants, pubs and convenience stores across the county need the walk-in fridges, freezers and display cabinets covered on our cold rooms, freezer rooms and cold storage pages.

Shop fitting in Kent

Convenience stores, supermarkets, butchers, bakeries, farm shops and takeaways across Kent: 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.

We design, supply and install walk-in cold rooms and freezer rooms across Kent, from Dartford and Bromley on the London border to Maidstone, Canterbury and the Channel ports, for restaurants, pubs, farm shops, butchers, fishmongers, convenience stores and food importers. Every job starts with a free site survey and a written quotation, and the same engineers maintain the room afterwards.

Dartford, Gravesend, Swanley, Bromley, Orpington and Beckenham on the London side; Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Maidstone, Sittingbourne and Sheerness in Medway and mid Kent; Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford and Tenterden in the west; and Canterbury, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal, Dover and Folkestone in the east and on the coast.

How quickly can you reach Kent for a repair?

The emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, and when you call we tell you when an engineer can be with you. From central London, Dartford, Bromley and the London-border towns are around 45 minutes outside the rush hour, the Medway towns and Maidstone about an hour, Canterbury about an hour and a half, and Dover and Folkestone about an hour and three quarters. Businesses on a maintenance contract get priority.

Do you install cold rooms for farm shops and fruit growers?

Yes. Farm shops need a chilled room at 0 to +4 °C for meat, dairy and produce behind the shop and often a display chiller in it; growers need produce stores at +1 to +4 °C with high humidity, sized by the tonnes picked at the peak of the season. Controlled-atmosphere stores for long-term apple storage are specialist plant; ask us and we will tell you whether a standard chilled store will do what you need.

Yes. Planned maintenance visits, usually two to four a year, with F-Gas leak checks and a written report, and priority emergency response, for single sites and for groups of shops, kitchens or stores across the county. See our maintenance page for what a visit includes.
