Common questions

How fast can you get to a vat breakdown?
We offer 24/7 emergency breakdown support, with priority for urgent dairy refrigeration failures. As an owner-operated business, response depends on availability, location and existing jobs. Call 07 899 8000 to check.
Do you work on all vat brands?
We service most common DX vat refrigeration units and ice bank systems. Tell us the make and model when you call.
Can you help with milk cooling compliance?
We assess and improve milk-cooling performance, but an assessment does not by itself establish compliance. Confirm current requirements with MPI and your dairy company.
What does after-hours cost?
After-hours and emergency charges are explained when you book.
