Full Cold Room Refurbishment at Steve’s Family Butchers
Cold Room Maintenance & Refurbishment at Butchers
At MTCSS we understand the impact may have had COVID-19 on your business – but we also understand that you may need to upgrade your cold storage to ensure it is performing efficiently and adhering to health and safety guidelines.
MTCSS can offer full cold room refurbishment for your chiller and freezer cold rooms, improving its efficiency, its aesthetics and its safety. The team recently refurbished a cold room for Steve’s Family Butchers, a butchers based in Barton-On-Clay in Bedfordshire, transforming the chiller cold room internally.
So what was involved in refurbishing the butcher’s walk in cold room?
MTCSS removed the meat rail system from the room, to allow us complete access, in order to cover all the walls and ceilings with 2.5mm food safe hygienic planking. This gives the appearance of a cold room being brand new internally, but it is lower in cost than replacing cold room panels or building a new cold room. Hygienic planking is used to cover the panel when paint is coming away, or it has been dented or gauged, and if the panel is stained.
We overlaid the existing floor with 12mm marine plywood, which was fixed through the floor and overlaid the plywood with 2mm 5 bar aluminium sheeting to create a non-slip waterproof floor covering. All joints were then bituthened to prevent water ingress. The plywood and 5 bar sheeting was installed to give the floor an even finish, whilst improving its safety due to reducing the risk of employees slipping on the floor. The overlay is also water resistant and provides resistance to damp and fungus – and it increases the lifespan of the floor to 10 to 15 years.
The MTCSS team fitted new internal coving to the ceiling and corners, and 38mm x 38mm aluminium angle to floor to fall in order to join the floors and wall together to seal the room and improve the appearance. We also fitted a new sweeper gasket to the bottom of the hinged door blade and replaced a hinge to improve the door seal and to more effectively maintain internal temperatures.

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)’

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!
