Preventative maintenance and repair for walk-in coldrooms, including panels, doors and control gear. In Hurlingham this is sandton prime work on coldroom systems, attended within about 50 minutes of dispatch.We work across every major brand installed in Hurlingham, and diagnostics start from the plated design data rather than a guess.Codes are read from the board rather than guessed at, then traced to the actual sensor, valve or drive fault behind them.Manor and estate sections require pre-booked access. Refrigeration Repairs bookings in Hurlingham are logged against Block 6 so we can allow for power availability on site.

Refrigerant data
| Gas | Classification | Suction pressure | Discharge pressure | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R134a | HFC (A1) | 80-140 kPa at -5 degrees C evaporating | 900-1 200 kPa at 45 degrees C ambient | Wine cellars, display cabinets, medium-temperature commercial refrigeration and some heat pumps. |
| R404A | HFC blend (near-azeotropic) | 40-60 kPa (approx. 2-4 bar) | 1500-1900 kPa | Older commercial ice machines, cube makers, ice bins and blast chillers |
Common questions
How quickly can a coldroom be back at temperature?
Once the fault is cleared, a well-insulated coldroom pulls back down within two to four hours. We advise on stock protection during that window.
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
Why is my ice cloudy or melting too fast?
Cloudy, soft ice means the freeze cycle is being cut short or the water is carrying too many dissolved solids. We test hardness and TDS on site, fit the right filtration, descale the plate and re-time the cycle so cubes freeze clear and hard.
Is scale really a problem for ice machines here?
Yes, it is the single biggest cause of lost output on this water supply. Scale insulates the evaporator, so the machine runs longer for less ice and eventually pits the plate. Regular descaling is far cheaper than an evaporator replacement.
