The Reyds Solution
Our technician arrives with manifold gauges and a leak detector, diagnoses the root cause on site, and restores cooling fast — recharging refrigerant, clearing the condenser, or replacing a failed compressor with a unit matched to your cabinet.
Industry context
Butcheries
A butchery has little margin for a cold chain that drifts. Meat-critical cold storage where temperature drift means loss and risk. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your commercial refrigerator to catch wear before it becomes not cooling.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of not cooling in butcheries cold chains.
Monitor cabinet temperatures daily and log deviations so not cooling is flagged before stock is lost.
Replace door seals at the first sign of perishing to stop the warm-air ingress that drives many not cooling callouts.
