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.
How urgent is a slow harvest cycle?
Treat it as urgent. A stalling harvest leaves the plate frozen solid, output collapses and the compressor runs against high head pressure, which is how a cheap solenoid fault turns into a compressor replacement.
How fast can you get to me?
Emergency callouts are dispatched to the next available technician, with the arrival window confirmed by SMS when the vehicle leaves.
