Cold Room Design & Installation — London
Cold Design plans, builds, and maintains commercial cold rooms across London — from a single walk-in chiller to multi-zone pharmaceutical storage. Every installation is engineered on paper before it's built on site, so nothing fails when you need it most.
Illustrative — every Cold Design installation ships with 24/7 digital temperature monitoring and alerting like this.
Why Cold Design
Most cold room problems don't start on installation day — they start with a specification that was never quite right for the space. Wrong panel thickness. Undersized condensing unit. A door swing nobody checked against the loading bay.
Cold Design starts every project with a proper site survey and a CAD-based layout before a single panel is ordered. That means load calculations, insulation specs, and door placement are all worked out on paper, against your actual space and your actual stock — not adjusted on the fly once the panels arrive.
It's a slower first step. It's why our installs don't come back to bite you six months in.
What We Do
Site survey, load calculations, and CAD layouts — specified against your space, your stock, and your compliance requirements before anything is ordered.
Insulated panels, refrigeration units, and digital controls sourced to spec — sized correctly the first time, not adjusted after delivery.
Full turnkey fit-out: flooring, panel assembly, refrigeration, electrics, and controls — managed start to finish by our own engineers.
Scheduled servicing and 24/7 emergency call-out, so a failed seal or a tripped compressor doesn't turn into a stock write-off.
Who We Work With
How It Works
We visit your site, measure the space, and talk through stock volumes, temperature zones, and access constraints.
Day 1CAD layout, load calculations, and a fixed quote — so you know exactly what you're getting before you commit.
2–4 daysPanels, refrigeration, electrics, and controls fitted by our own engineers — with minimal disruption to your operation.
2–10 daysCommissioning, staff handover, and ongoing servicing — plus 24/7 emergency call-out if anything goes wrong.

Cold Room Down?
Common Questions
It depends on size, temperature range, and site complexity. Small restaurant units typically start in the low thousands; larger multi-zone or pharmaceutical-grade rooms cost more. We give a fixed quote after a free site survey, so there are no surprises once work starts.
Small units are usually 2–3 days. Medium installations run 3–4 days, and larger commercial systems can take up to 10 days. We'll give you an exact timeline as part of your quote.
Yes — we offer 24/7 emergency call-out for existing cold rooms, whether or not we installed them originally. A failed seal or compressor gets prioritised immediately given the risk to stock.
From ambient-controlled rooms (+10°C to +30°C) through chillers (0°C to +10°C) down to freezers (−18°C to −25°C), including dual-zone and pharmaceutical-validated (2–8°C) storage.
Yes — installations are carried out with F-Gas compliant refrigerant handling, and we provide the documentation you'll need for food safety or pharmaceutical inspections.
