We plan facilities to support safe operation and consistent temperature performance. This also includes consideration of:

• Insulated wall and roof panel systems
• Vapour control and prevention of condensation within the structure
• Floor build-ups designed to limit thermal movement and support heavy loads
• Integration of refrigeration systems, including evaporators, condensers and plant areas
• Loading bays, dock levellers and rapid access doors
• Safe movement of forklifts and materials handling equipment

Material selection and construction detailing are also critical. Poor vapour control or thermal bridging can lead to condensation, ice formation and long-term performance issues within the building fabric. Ambrey Baker coordinates detailing to reduce these risks and support reliable operation over time.

We design and build cold storage facilities to align with relevant UK requirements, including Building Regulations, fire safety provisions within Approved Document B, and hygiene expectations associated with BRCGS Global Standard Food Safety where food products are stored.

With 40 years of experience working in temperature-controlled environments, Ambrey Baker understands the technical challenges involved in delivering reliable cold storage facilities. We support clients through new build projects, extensions and refurbishment works, including projects within live operational environments where disruption must be controlled.
