Cold Room Flooring Refurbishment for Food & Drink Retailer in Cambridgeshire
Freezer Cold Room Flooring Refurbishment
MTCSS know how important it is for your cold rooms to adhere to all the health and safety regulations of your industry, especially within the food and drink retail industry.
This is why MTCSS offer cold room maintenance and refurbishment on your existing walk-in chillers, freezer cold rooms, cold room doors and any other cold room furniture you may have.
MTCSS can offer full cold room refurbishment for your chiller and freezer cold rooms, improving its efficiency, its aesthetics and safety. Our team recently refurbished some cold room flooring for a customer in Cambridgeshire, transforming the chiller cold room internally.
What Cold Room Solution Did Our Customer Require?
Our customer in Cambridgeshire approached us and requested for the cold room flooring in their freezer cold room to be replaced and refurbished. They were after a new cold room flooring solution due to their old flooring being damaged and causing a potential trip hazard due to the high levels of foot-traffic the walk-in freezer faces.
Not only will refurbishing your cold room improve its efficiency, it will also improve its appearance and ensure it is equipped and up to standard for any upcoming audits you may have!
MTCSS’ Cold Room Refurbishment Solution:
The first thing the MTCSS team did was conduct a site survey, to allow us to understand their requirements and measurements better, so that we could provide the best and most accurate service to them.
Following the site survey, we confirmed that the old freezer cold room (internal size of 3780mm x 2900mm) flooring would be removed and replaced with a new cold room flooring and heater mat. We also made the decision to fit a barrier around the interior wall panels, this was to prevent any further damage to the walk-in freezer.
Our customer’s cold room flooring needed to be replaced due to health and safety issues. Due to the high levels of foot traffic, their flooring needed to be replaced to ensure that no members of staff could injure themselves by tripping or falling.
By refurbishing their cold room flooring, they saw an increase in their general cold room safety levels, alongside their cold room efficiency – which can even lead to long-term energy savings as it means their cold room isn’t having to work overtime to maintain their temperatures!
The Freezer Cold Room Maintenance Works Carried Out:
To work alongside our customer and their business requirements, we had a 2-week duration period to fully complete the works. This is because there was a temporary cold room delivered to allow us to empty and switch-off the original freezer cold room, perform the maintenance works and then bring it back down to the required temperature.
MTCSS started the cold room refurbishment by removing the old, damaged altro flooring, the damaged cold room floor panels that were underneath and the heater mat. By doing this, it allowed our team to clear the freezer cold room ready to accommodate the new cold room flooring panels.
After the cold room flooring and panels were removed, we were able to fit a new heater mat (to prevent ice build-up and frost heave!) and on top of that we placed the new 80mm PUR insulated cold room panels from Kingspan.
As these floor panels were modular, our team cam-locked the cold room panels together by spraying handheld foam into any voids around the freezer cold room’s perimeter – creating a completely sealed area. We then laid a new 5 bar chequer floor plate to help prevent further damage, stop any moisture from penetrating the joints and reduce the likelihood of staff slippages, completing the cold room flooring refurbishment.
By using modular cold room panels, the cam-lock key system allows our customers to achieve optimum insulation levels – which is extremely important in the food and drink retail industry due to the high-risk food products they store.
All that was left to complete this cold room refurbishment was to fit the cold room wall to the new cold room flooring, screw a low-level galvanised kick plate to the internal perimeter walls (to provide protection for the walls to prevent anything from damaging the cold room panel and causing the ceiling to fall through as a result) and fixed a new low-level barrier around the completed internal cold room walls.
Adding these cold room wall protection elements reduced the amount of cold room maintenance issues that occur, and the need for a replacement freezer cold room – emphasising just how beneficial cold room maintenance is!
The MTCSS team completed the works well within the 2-week time frame stated, with the temporary room being picked up ahead of schedule, and our customer was very pleased with the finished project and aesthetic of their freezer cold room afterwards!

Bert De Mooij, Bespoke Chiller Cold Room for Q Flowers Ltd 2021
From coming into contact with MTCSS to the finished product, has been a great and easy process.
The members of the team listened to our wishes and offered us exactly what we needed. From picking the type of cooler machines, the doors, the lights - everything was exactly adjusted to our wishes.
Even though through the COVID period where availability of materials were challenging, the cold room was finished on the date as was planned when signing for the order.
Very professional company from start to finish.
Catherine Hester Fenwick, Ambient storage at Brabourne Wines 2021
‘Brabourne Wine is a small, family run vineyard in Kent. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Conservation Area and with listed buildings, we needed to find a solution to store our wine without building afresh or making any material differences to the current buildings. MTCSS were amazingly flexible. They worked with us to develop a solution that fitted inside one of our outbuildings. Given the limitations on space and the requirement to have racking suitable for pallets, virtually everything about the project had to be bespoke but Darren never lost patience with the endless queries in the planning phase. Once on site, the team was professional, friendly, flexible and quick. They have delivered a solution which is perfect for our needs and exceeds our expectations. We are at the smaller end of their usual customer base, but we were never made to feel as though we were any less important than a major supermarket chain. We would certainly recommend them to anybody needing a controlled climate for storage (or any other reason)’

Dual Compartment Cold Room Installation, London
From the beginning I found Gem’s customer service fantastic, out of all of the companies we spoke to for quotes she was the most responsive and attentive. Even when we were still finalising and it wasn’t confirmed if we were proceeding with MTCSS yet, she was always great with keeping in contact to see if we needed anything, and very responsive with emails, and also phone calls.
Andy and Nathan, have been great throughout the entire process. Both have been on hand for any queries we have had and very responsive again to all forms of communication. Everything has been handled promptly and efficiently both before, during and after the build. Any questions we have had they have always gotten back to us with an answer very quickly.
The gentlemen who completed the install here on site, where very friendly and mindful of business operations while completing work. Each day they would check in with who was here in the morning to explain what they would be doing, what access they required, and asked if and how this might affect our operations or customers. Again, they were very clear and open with communication and was happy to help find solutions when we had issues with the shelving.
Overall our experience with you has been very good and we have been left a happy customer. I would also just like to say a thank you to yourself Gem, Nathan and Andy as you have all been very great throughout our customer journey!
