Emergency Refrigeration Cover
Fast Response When It Matters

A refrigeration breakdown can cost thousands in lost stock, missed orders and regulatory risk. When the call comes in, Chillmasters responds as quickly as possible — dispatching an experienced engineer with the parts most likely needed to get your equipment running again on the first visit.

Emergency Breakdown
Response Process

When you report a refrigeration breakdown, our team takes the details of the fault, the equipment type and the risk to stock or product immediately. We then dispatch the most appropriate engineer to your site as quickly as possible. Our goal is a first-visit fix — not a diagnosis visit followed by a return trip for parts.

  • Call our team on 0161 706 0533 to report a breakdown
  • We assess the fault details and dispatch a suitably experienced engineer
  • Engineers carry compressors, capacitors, contactors, solenoid and expansion valves as standard van stock
  • Where the repair cannot be completed immediately, temporary refrigeration units can be deployed
  • A written post-incident report documents the fault cause and prevention recommendations
  • PPM contract holders receive priority scheduling over reactive-only customers

What You Get with Chillmasters Emergency Cover

First-Visit Fix Focus

Our engineers stock their vans with the components that cause the majority of commercial refrigeration breakdowns — compressors, start capacitors, run capacitors, contactors, solenoid valves and thermostatic expansion valves. Arriving prepared dramatically increases the chance of a same-visit repair.

Temporary Refrigeration Units

Where a repair requires parts to be sourced or extended workshop time, we can arrange a temporary refrigeration unit — a portable cold room, a trailer-mounted chiller or a standalone cabinet — to protect your stock while the permanent equipment is being fixed.

Written Post-Incident Report

Every emergency visit concludes with a written report identifying the root cause of the fault and specific preventive recommendations. This report is valuable for your own records, for insurance purposes, and for demonstrating due diligence if a food safety authority enquiry arises from the breakdown.

Priority for PPM Clients

Customers on a Chillmasters planned preventive maintenance contract receive priority allocation when an emergency breakdown occurs. Regular PPM also means our engineers already know your plant — reducing diagnostic time and increasing first-visit fix rates when faults do happen.

Fast Emergency Response
— Not a 24/7 Claim

We will not claim to be a 24/7 service if that promise cannot be kept. What we do offer is a genuine commitment to respond as quickly as possible when a breakdown is reported — with experienced engineers, well-stocked vans and a process designed to minimise the time between your call and a working solution.

  • Call 0161 706 0533 to report a breakdown and speak to our team
  • We provide a realistic attendance estimate based on engineer availability and location
  • We prioritise situations where product or patient safety is at risk
  • Transparent communication throughout — you will always know the status
  • If we cannot attend immediately, we advise on interim protective measures
  • PPM contract clients benefit from enhanced priority response arrangements

Reduce Breakdown Risk
with a PPM Contract

The most effective emergency cover is preventing the emergency in the first place. A Chillmasters PPM contract means routine checks catch developing faults before they become breakdowns — and when breakdowns do occur, you are first in the queue.
