What is a Walk-In Fridge?
A walk-in fridge is a large refrigerated storage unit with consistently low temperatures between +2°C and +8°C. Unlike standard refrigerators, walk-in fridges provide significantly more storage space.
Walk-in fridges are used in commercial and industrial settings where bulk refrigeration is required. These units are constructed with insulated panels, powerful cooling systems, and custom shelving.
Our designs ensure optimal storage conditions for food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive products.
Walk-in fridges are available in modular and bespoke designs, allowing businesses to choose the size, layout, and features that best suit their needs.
How Much Does A Walk-In Fridge Cost?
Walk-in fridges cost between £3,000 to £20,000 or more. The cost of a walk-in fridge depends on size, insulation thickness, refrigeration system, and custom features.
A small modular unit starts from approximately £3,000 to £6,000.
Mid-sized walk-in fridges range between £8,000 and £15,000.
Large-scale industrial walk-ins with advanced cooling systems, humidity control, and remote monitoring can cost £20,000 or more.
Additional costs may include installation, shelving, access doors, and backup power options.
Our team provides tailored quotes based on specific business requirements to ensure the best value without compromising performance.
What Are the Benefits of a Walk-In Fridge?
A walk-in fridge offers superior storage capacity, better organisation, and improved energy efficiency compared to standard refrigeration units.
The key benefits include:
Increased Storage Space – Walk-in fridges accommodate large quantities of perishable goods, reducing the need for multiple standard fridges.
Consistent Temperature Control – Advanced cooling systems maintain precise temperature levels, ensuring product freshness and compliance with food safety regulations.
Energy Efficiency – High-performance insulation and automated cooling technology reduce energy consumption compared to running multiple smaller units.
Customisable Design – Businesses can tailor shelving, access points, and temperature settings to match specific operational needs.
Better Workflow Efficiency – Organised storage allows for easier stock management, reducing waste and improving day-to-day operations.
What Industries Benefit from Walk-In Fridges?
Walk-in cold rooms are essential for industries that require large-scale refrigeration and strict temperature control.
The hospitality and food service sector, including restaurants, hotels, and catering businesses, rely on walk-in fridges for fresh ingredient storage.
The retail and supermarket industry uses them to keep dairy, meat, and beverages at safe temperatures. Pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities store vaccines, medicines, and lab samples in climate-controlled environments.
Other industries, such as agriculture, floristry, and research laboratories, benefit from walk-in refrigeration for product preservation and quality control.
How Do We Install A Walk-In Fridge?
The installation process begins with a site assessment and consultation. The assessment process involves an evaluation of your space, cooling requirements, and business needs.
Once the specifications are finalised, we proceed with panel assembly. During the assembly we construct the insulated walls, floor, and ceiling to create a fully sealed, temperature-controlled environment.
The refrigeration system is installed and calibrated, ensuring precise cooling performance. Shelving, doors, lighting, and access controls are then fitted to optimise usability.
Before handover, we conduct thorough testing and temperature checks to confirm operational efficiency. Our cold room installers ensures a smooth installation process with minimal disruption to your business operations.
Can A Walk-In Fridge Be Customised?
Walk-in fridges can be fully customised to meet specific storage and operational needs.
Options include adjustable temperature settings, different insulation thicknesses, and specialised shelving layouts.
Businesses can choose from hinged or sliding doors, automatic access controls, and remote temperature monitoring for enhanced security and efficiency. For industries requiring strict hygiene standards, we offer stainless steel interiors, anti-bacterial coatings, and easy-to-clean surfaces.
Additional features such as LED lighting, humidity control, and reinforced flooring can be incorporated based on individual requirements.
How Energy-Efficient Are Walk-In Fridges?
Walk-in fridges are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Our team uses high-performance insulation, advanced cooling technology, and automated temperature control systems to reduce power consumption.
Features such as LED lighting, eco-friendly refrigerants, and variable-speed compressors optimise energy usage while maintaining consistent cooling performance.
Many modern walk-in fridges comply with EU energy efficiency regulations, helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint and operational costs.
Our cold storage solutions are engineered to minimise heat loss, ensuring long-term savings on energy bills.
Are Maintenance and Repair Services Available?
We offer comprehensive maintenance and repair services to keep walk-in fridges operating at peak efficiency.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning condenser coils, checking door seals, inspecting refrigerant levels, and calibrating temperature settings to prevent breakdowns and energy wastage.
We also provide emergency repair services for issues such as compressor failure, electrical faults, or temperature fluctuations.
Our planned maintenance packages help businesses reduce downtime and extend the lifespan of their cold storage systems. We ensure compliance with food safety and industry regulations.
