Be Cool Refrigeration has been installing and servicing commercial refrigeration across Essex since 2004. Our F-Gas certified engineers cover RM, IG, CM, SS, CO and EN, working on walk-in cold rooms, cellar coolers, commercial fridges and freezers, ice machines and blast chillers across hospitality, retail and catering sites.
Essex has a strong hospitality footprint across Romford, Chelmsford, Brentwood and Southend, plus a major retail and logistics base around Lakeside and the M11 corridor. We work across restaurant walk-in cold rooms, ice machine breakdowns, and commercial fridge repairs throughout the county. Essex is reached via the A12, M11 and the eastern M25, with most of central and south Essex inside an hour from our service area. We carry common spares on the van, so most breakdown calls in Essex are diagnosed and fixed on the first visit.

What Our Clients Say
Read All Reviews“I spoke with Danny this morning who gave me immediate, clear and supportive advice on a problem with a Daikin unit. No sense of trying to angle for a call-out and I’d be comfortable calling should that ultimately be necessary.”
Helpful immediate advice
“I would like to thank the Be Cool team for the excellent service I have received since I phoned on Saturday. Be Cool did everything they said they would. Someone called me back first thing on Monday morning and sent a very polite, excellent engineer on Tuesday who fixed what has been a nagging problem for far too long. I would give you 100 stars and not just the standard 5. I very much appreciated the phone call giving me notice that the engineer would arrive in one hour. In this day and age a company with the Be Cool level of service is rare indeed. What’s more everyone I spoke to on the phone was charming, as was the engineer. Everyone could not have been more helpful. I live in hope that there will be a swift return to this level of service which I have not received for a very long time. Congratulations!”

“We used BeCool Ltd. to install new air conditioning in one of our 800sqm London venues. Top class! This was a big project but took little over two weeks. From the initial consultation to the handover, nothing was too much. The professionalism and quality of work was second to none. Following that, we used them to upgrade the air conditioning in our second London venue. Could not fault Ali and his team and BeCool Ltd is now our go-to place for AC and refrigeration. Thanks!”

“Came out quickly – fixed it on the same day. In a world of “you get what you pay for”, their prices are very reasonable. I hope I won’t need their services again, but if I do – will call them first thing.”

Essex Commercial Refrigeration: Frequently Asked Questions
Which Essex postcodes do you cover for refrigeration?
We cover RM, IG, CM, SS, CO, EN across Essex for cold room installs, breakdown repairs and planned maintenance.
How fast is emergency refrigeration repair in Essex?
Refrigeration breakdowns lose stock by the hour. We run 24/7 emergency call-outs across Essex, with most jobs attended same-day during working hours and a documented response-time commitment for clients on a maintenance contract.
Do you handle walk-in cold rooms for restaurants and pubs in Essex?
Yes. Most of our Essex refrigeration work is hospitality: walk-in cold rooms and freezers, cellar coolers, beer cellars, ice machines and back-of-house fridges. We design around tight rear-of-house spaces and difficult access where needed.
Do you carry common refrigeration spares on the van?
Yes, our Essex engineers carry fans, capacitors, contactors, common solenoids, refrigerant gas and standard control parts. Most breakdowns we attend are fixed on the first visit.
Can you provide F-Gas documentation for our records?
Yes. Every job is logged against your site, refrigerant additions and removals recorded, and full F-Gas reports issued. Important for insurance, food hygiene audits and any future sale of the equipment.
Do you offer planned maintenance contracts in Essex?
Yes. Most of our hospitality and retail clients in Essex run on a planned maintenance contract: scheduled servicing, priority call-out response, and discounted rates on parts and labour. We can build a contract around your sites and equipment list.
