Cellar Cooling Systems for Pubs, Bars and Venues

We design, install and look after cellar cooling systems for pubs, bars and licensed venues across Kent and South East London. Whether you need a new system, a replacement, or help getting a cellar back to a stable temperature, we’ll advise you on the most sensible next step.

Every cellar is different, so we start with the basics: size, heat load, insulation and usage. From there we specify a system that suits the space and keeps the cellar reliably cold, without overcomplicating the setup.

We handle the full job from supply and installation through to servicing and repairs. If your current system is leaking, struggling to hold temperature or becoming unreliable, we can assess it and recommend repair or replacement based on what’s genuinely best value long-term.

If you’d like pricing guidance, tell us your cellar size, whether it’s above or below ground, and any current issues. We’ll point you in the right direction and can arrange a site visit where needed.

Common Cellar Cooling Problems

If your cellar cooling system is no longer performing as it should, some of the most common issues include:

  • temperatures rising above the level needed for reliable keg storage
  • older systems becoming unreliable or prone to leaks
  • poor performance during busy service periods
  • running costs increasing as equipment becomes less efficient
  • uncertainty over whether a repair is worthwhile or whether replacement would be better value

We can assess your current setup and advise on the most sensible next step, whether that means repairs, replacement or a completely new installation.

Recent Cellar Cooling Project

We recently completed a full cellar cooling system replacement for a public house in Maidstone, Kent, upgrading an unreliable, leak-prone setup to a modern, efficient solution designed for consistent keg storage temperatures.

The project included a new J&E Hall cellar cooler, complete pipework replacement, and a system designed to maintain stable conditions at around 12°C.

Cellar Cooling for Pubs and Bars - Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature should a cellar cooling system maintain?

Most pub cellars need to hold a stable temperature suitable for keg and drink storage, typically around 11 to 13°C. The right setting can vary depending on the products being stored and the layout of the space.

Do you install new cellar cooling systems?

Yes. We supply and install cellar cooling systems for pubs, bars and hospitality venues across Kent, whether you are fitting out a new space or replacing older equipment.

Do you repair cellar cooling systems?

Yes. We provide cellar cooler repairs for systems that are underperforming, leaking, making unusual noises or no longer holding temperature properly. We can assess the equipment and advise whether a repair is worthwhile or whether replacement would offer better long-term value.

How often should a cellar cooler be serviced?

Regular servicing helps keep a cellar cooling system working efficiently and can reduce the risk of unexpected faults. The right service schedule will depend on the age of the equipment, how heavily it is used and the conditions within the cellar.

How do I know if my cellar cooler needs replacing?

Common signs include unreliable temperature control, repeated faults, leaks, rising running costs or a system that struggles during busy periods. If the equipment is ageing, replacement can sometimes be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.

Why is my cellar cooling system not holding temperature?

This can be caused by several issues, including poor airflow, dirty components, refrigerant problems, ageing equipment or a system that is no longer suitable for the size and usage of the cellar. An inspection can help identify the cause and the most practical solution.

Do you work with above-ground and below-ground cellars?

Yes. We can advise on cellar cooling systems for different layouts, including both above-ground and below-ground cellar spaces.

Can you help if I am not sure what size system I need?

Yes. We can assess the cellar size, insulation, heat load and usage to recommend a system that suits the space properly.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Kent and regularly carry out cellar cooling work across Kent and London. We can also travel further for suitable projects, so please get in touch if your venue is outside these areas.

How do I get a quote for cellar cooling?

Get in touch with a few details about your cellar, including whether it is above or below ground, the approximate size of the space and any issues you are currently having. We can then advise on the next step and arrange a site visit where needed.
