What Your Installation Includes

A cold room is never a one-size product. Two kitchens the same square footage can need completely different rooms, depending on how much stock turns over and where your staff actually walk. Which is why we survey first. Nobody can price this properly over the phone, whatever they tell you.

Here’s what our Portsmouth cold room fitters take care of, from the first site visit to final handover:

We measure the space, check access and look at power supply and drainage.

We plan a room around your stock levels, your workflow and any awkward corners.

We build with PIR panels — rigid foam boards that lock in the cold and cut energy waste.

We size and fit the condensing unit, the part that pumps heat out of the room, so it copes on the hottest day of the year.

Non-slip insulated floors, tight door seals and heavy-duty hinges built for constant use.

Hygienic racking laid out so staff can find stock fast.

Digital controllers, temperature alarms, and a full test before we hand over.

Whether you found us searching for cold room engineers Portsmouth or just asked a mate in the trade who to call, you get the same job either way. Built properly, tested hard before we leave, and no surprises six months down the line.

Why Choose Coldroomplus as your Cold Room Installation Company in Portsmouth?

Plenty of firms will call themselves a cool room installer Portsmouth can hire. The one worth choosing is the team still picking up the phone two years after the install. At Coldroomplus, we pair real technical know-how with long-term support.

Chilled or Frozen — Hitting the Right Temperature

Most kitchens need a chiller at 0°C to 5°C for fresh produce, dairy and prepped food. Frozen storage runs at -18°C to -22°C. We handle both chilled builds and freezer room installation Portsmouth sites depend on, and we can fit twin rooms where you need chilled and frozen space side by side.

That matters more here than in most places, and space is the reason. Portsea Island is the most crowded patch of ground in the country outside London, so kitchens are squeezed into terraces, back yards are the size of a parking space and your neighbour’s window is often a few feet from wherever the plant has to go. Add the restaurants along Albert Road and Osborne Road, the boats landing at the Camber, the chilled freight coming through the ferry port, and the trade out at Gunwharf, and a lot rides on holding temperature. Your EHO will check it too. Every room we build comes with digital controls and an alarm, so you hear about a drift while it is still a drift and not a skip full of ruined stock.

There’s a legal side too. Refrigerant gas must be handled by qualified people under F-Gas rules, the UK law covering how these gases are installed, checked and disposed of. Our engineers are F-Gas certified and Level 3 RACHP qualified, so your paperwork is right from day one.

Panels are smooth and wipe-clean, joints sealed properly, so nobody’s scrubbing at a seam on a Friday night. Sizing is the other thing people get wrong. An oversized unit burns money every hour it runs; an undersized one never quite catches up in summer and dies young.

Areas we Cover

We’re a UK-wide firm and Portsmouth is firmly on our map. We cover the island and the mainland around it, including Southsea, Old Portsmouth, Fratton, Copnor, North End, Hilsea, Cosham, Portchester, Farlington and Milton, and out to Gosport, Fareham, Havant, Waterlooville, Hayling Island, Emsworth and up towards Petersfield. Trade and industrial work takes us down the M275 and along the M27, the A3(M) and the A27, and onto the estates at Fitzherbert Road, Walton Road, Segensworth and Dunsbury Park.

We look after all sorts here: restaurants and bars in Southsea and around Gunwharf, fish merchants at the Camber, butchers and grocers, hotels and guesthouses, care homes and pharmacies, student catering, and production and distribution units out at Farlington, Segensworth and Dunsbury Park. On this island the hard question is rarely the room, it is where the condensing unit goes. Put it in the wrong spot in a terraced street and the first you hear about it is a neighbour complaining to environmental health about the hum at eleven at night, and a noise abatement notice is a far more expensive problem than a longer pipe run would have been. So we look at what backs onto your yard, how far we can sensibly run the pipework, and whether the unit needs siting on a roof or acoustically screened. If your postcode starts with PO, chances are we cover you.

If you’ve been typing cold room installers near me and squinting at the results, save yourself the bother. Ring 07445 699 925 and we’ll tell you straight whether you’re in our patch.

Cold Room Installation Portsmouth— What Affects Your Quote

We don’t publish fixed prices. Not to be cagey, it’s just that a small café chiller and a walk-in freezer for a meat processor are barely the same job, and quoting a number here would only mislead you.

These are the things that move the price up or down:

The bigger the room, the more panel and the larger the refrigeration unit.

A freezer room needs more insulation and a bigger unit than a chilled room.

Output, efficiency and where the condenser can go.

Tight doorways, stairs or upper floors take more time to build.

Drainage, flooring or electrical upgrades, if your space needs them.

What you will get is an itemised quote with nothing buried in it, and the figure we agree is the figure you pay. That’s the whole point of surveying first.

Want a rough figure before we visit? Send us your approximate dimensions through our free quote page and we’ll come back with a realistic range.

Ready to Get Started?

A well-built cold room quietly pays for itself. A badly built one is a running cost and a worry for as long as you own it. We’ve been doing this 25 years in kitchens and cold stores much like yours, so ring 07445 699 925 and we’ll talk it through, or book the free survey and we’ll come to you.

Frequently Asked Questions – Cold Room Installation Portsmouth

1. How much does a cold room cost in Portsmouth?

It depends on size, temperature, the refrigeration unit and site access. Small chillers start at a few thousand pounds; large freezer rooms cost considerably more. A free site survey gets you an exact, itemised quote with no obligation.

Most standard rooms are built and running within one to three days on site. Larger or more complex projects take longer, and we’ll give you a clear timeline in your quote.

Very little in most cases. We plan the build around your service hours where we can, and much of the work happens without touching your existing kit until the switch-over.

Yes. Every room is made to measure. Sloped ceilings, cellar sites, tight footprints and older granite buildings are all normal jobs for us.

Chillers typically run at 0°C to 5°C and freezer rooms at -18°C to -22°C. If you need a specific holding temperature for fish, meat or pharmaceuticals, we’ll design for it.

Yes. All our engineers are F-Gas certified, which UK law requires for anyone installing or working on refrigerant systems. You’ll get the right documentation for your records.

Every installation comes with a 1-year extended warranty, and we fit genuine spare parts if anything ever needs replacing.

Yes. We offer ongoing servicing plans and emergency repairs, so the team that built your room is the team that looks after it.

For a survey, usually just a few days. For the build itself it depends on the design and our schedule — call us and we’ll give you honest lead times, not wishful ones.

 Very likely. We work right across the city and the Lothians, from Leith and Portobello to Corstorphine, Dalkeith and Musselburgh. Give us your postcode and we’ll confirm straight away.
