Beer cellar cooling for pubs, bars and venues. Wine cellar systems. Install, service, emergency repair. DX and glycol systems. F-Gas Cat 1 / REFCOM. We've installed cellar cooling for Putney pub groups and worked across SW15, central London and the surrounding patch.
Gas Safe registered · 919290 F F-Gas / REFCOM Category 1 D Daikin Business Partner T TrustATrader Approved · Checkatrade listed Cellar survey, capacity sizing (against pub volume and brand spec), evaporator and condenser placement, refrigerant pipework, electrical isolation, controls and commissioning. We design for clear glassware aisles and even cooling. Typical 2-3 day install for a single-room pub cellar.
Annual or biannual cellar PPM: condenser clean, evaporator coil inspection, refrigerant pressure log, control calibration, drip-tray and condensate check. Multi-site pub groups get consolidated reporting.
Cellar not holding temp during service is one of the worst pub-trading scenarios. We pick up on the 24/7 line, triage on the call, and roll. Most common failures: condenser fan motor, low refrigerant charge, tripped HP/LP switch. Stock parts on the van for all three.
Wine cellar systems run cooler than beer (10-13°C target) and tighter on humidity control. Climate-controlled storage rooms for whisky bonds, fine-wine collections and similar are designed to the customer's brand or sector spec.
11-13°C is the standard target for cask ale cellars in the UK. Keg cellars (lager, craft) sometimes run colder, 8-10°C, depending on the brand spec. We size systems for steady-state at the target plus headroom for summer ambient.
DX (direct expansion) is the default for most UK pub cellars. Simpler, cheaper to install, easier to service. Glycol secondary systems are used when the evaporator can't go directly in the cellar (long pipe runs, multiple cellars from one plant, brand mandates). We quote both side-by-side when both make sense.
Emergency line: 24/7. Triage on the call, engineer rolling within 30-60 minutes during pub trading hours. Most common Saturday-night failures: condenser fan motor, refrigerant low charge, or a tripped HP/LP switch. We carry stock parts for all three.
Yes. Insulated cellar room build (if needed), evaporator placement (we site for even cooling and clear glassware aisles), condenser location (external wall or rooftop), refrigerant pipework, controls and commissioning. Typical 2-3 day install for a single-room pub cellar.
Wine cellar cooling runs cooler than beer (10-13°C) and tighter on humidity. We do both new wine-cellar installs and service on existing kit. For climate-controlled storage rooms (whisky bonds, fine-wine collections) we work to the customer's brand spec or industry guidance.
Pubs, bars, venues, wine cellars. Saturday-night cover. F-Gas certified. London + south east.
