Walk-in Cold Room Repair
Walk-ins that will not pull down
Soft stock and stuck prep usually point to a room fault, not bad luck.
A walk-in that drifts warm mid-service leaves prep stuck and stock soft. Common culprits are door seals, iced evaporators, failed fans, and controllers that no longer hold set point.
We repair cold rooms in hotels, pubs, restaurants, and kitchens across Barnstaple, Bideford, and the wider North Devon patch. Hygiene-aware work in food spaces, then plain advice your team can follow between visits.
If the room is climbing now, start with emergency refrigeration callout or request a refrigeration engineer.
