A care home in Romford called us about their kitchen cold room. The temperature logger had recorded 9°C overnight — well above the safe 5°C limit — and the catering manager was unsure if the food was safe to serve to 80 elderly residents. We attended within the hour, found a failed evaporator fan motor, replaced it from van stock, and had the cold room pulling back to 2°C before lunch service. The food was assessed and fortunately the excursion duration was short enough that nothing needed to be discarded.

Romford and the broader borough of Havering are on London’s eastern edge, straddling the boundary between Greater London and Essex. Romford town centre has undergone significant redevelopment, with new residential towers and the ongoing evolution of the retail market. The borough has a strong base of care homes, schools, and small-to-medium commercial businesses that depend on reliable HVAC and refrigeration.
