Pharmaceutical Walk-In Fridge In Somerset
Walk-In Fridge Installation for Pharmaceutical Supply Store
Pharmaceutical industries must adhere to specific requirements for their products and processes to ensure everything has a high level of control and is suitable for consumption. Our customer in Somerset was after exactly that – a pharmaceutical temperature-controlled room to store their products.
Our customer required a new temperature-controlled pharmaceutical area within their warehouse, so the MTCSS team assessed their requirements to design and install a cold room solution bespoke to them.
MTCSS’ Cold Room Solution
The MTCSS team designed a walk-in fridge for our customers to fit their requirements – they needed a dedicated, refrigerated space to store their pharmaceutical supplies, allowing them to remain at the highest quality.
Walk-In Fridge – Structure
We installed a walk-in fridge within their existing warehouse, measuring 4.9m x 3.7m x 2.4m with a volume of 38m3. Constructed from 80mm PIR Quadcore hybrid cold room panels, their walk-in fridge was reliably insulated to maintain the chilled temperatures required.
Both the cold room walls and ceilings had a food safe finish internally but were externally finished in grey to match the rest of their warehouse and aesthetic – whilst also maintaining high levels of hygiene to prevent contamination.
For the flooring solution, we installed a modular cold room floor comprised from 80mm PUR panels with 12mm plywood and a 5-bar nonslip finish. This flooring solution was chosen to provide a durable, high-quality solution and to protect any of their employees from slipping when transporting materials in and out of the cold room.
Cold Room Doors
Once the main structure of the walk-in fridge was constructed, it was time to install the cold room doors and refrigeration systems.
Our customer requested an 800mm x 1800mm hinged cold room door, from industry leaders MTH, to allow them access in and out of the walk-in fridge. Coated in a metal sheet suitable for food applications, allowing the control of hygiene, a hinged cold room door from MTH was the perfect solution for our customer.
The hinged cold room door was also finished in RAL 9010, the same colour as the cold room walls and ceilings, to allow for consistency throughout the build.
Refrigeration Systems
The desired temperature for the walk-in fridge was 2°C. We opted for a split refrigeration system, comprised of a condenser and evaporator unit to support our customers’ temperature requirements.
In the event of a power outage or refrigeration system fail, MTCSS installed 100% back-up refrigeration with a changeover panel for our customers – so that in an emergency their products are still reliably refrigerated!
This additional benefit of back-up refrigeration gives you as a customer more confidence that your cold room can still run efficiently in the event of an emergency!
Cold Room Lighting
Finally, we installed the lighting solutions – opting to install four sets of titan tri proof LED lighting to efficiently illuminate their walk-in fridge and minimise any heat from altering the internal temperature.
Completed in 10 working days, our customers were very happy with the finished project, and their walk-in fridge is now being used for internal processes that benefit their customers and business.

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)’

We found they responded in a very quick and helpful manner which meant that they communicated well with us and kept us informed well. The refurbishment was completed to a very high standard in a professional manner. We are exceptionally pleased with the service that we received.
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!
