Cold room service

Emergency Cold Room Repairs in Sandton

A cold room that loses temperature puts stock, production and compliance at risk within hours. We prioritise breakdowns at trading and storage sites across Sandton and greater Johannesburg, aiming to restore cooling in a single visit wherever parts allow.

Professional service

Emergency attendance focuses on rapid diagnosis and restoring the cold chain: identifying whether the fault is refrigeration, electrical, control or airflow related, then carrying out the repair or stabilising the room until a part arrives. We work on walk-in cold rooms, freezer rooms, chiller rooms and cold storage facilities used by restaurants, butcheries, supermarkets, hotels and food producers.

Common problems we attend

  • Room temperature climbing during trade
  • Compressor not running or short-cycling
  • Ice build-up on the evaporator
  • Refrigerant leak causing gradual warming
  • Controller or thermostat fault
  • Electrical trip or lockout
