Synecore’s Bespoke Refrigeration:
Serving Commercial Kitchens Across The UK
M&E contractor, Synecore has built custom made
walk-in cold room suites, blast chilling and freezing
facilities, and central production units for some of
the busiest commercial kitchens and food retailers in
London and across the wider UK.
With immense experience in providing commercial
refrigeration for restaurants of all sizes, Synecore has
developed partnerships with leading brands within
the hospitality sector. Five Guys, Malmaison Hotels,
Madison, Millennium Foods, Wasabi and Paul Bakery
are just a few of the brands to benefit from Synecore’s
design and manufacturing expertise.
Favoured by restaurants and commercial kitchen
contractors, Synecore creates bespoke facilities that are
not only functional and practical, but also aesthetically
pleasing. There are no perimeters to Synecore’s design
and construction capabilities. The team work hard
to develop the refrigeration systems that consistently
perform well and can be replicated in multiple outlets.
“When fulfilling the refrigeration requirements of a
commercial kitchens or front of house display units
we always inspect the premises first to attain if there is
suitable space and if it’s possible to install an external
plant,” explains Synecore’s Managing Director, Paul
Thomas. “We have a very skilled team of engineers and
designers, who solve very complex technical issues
every day, so there a few limitations when it comes to
building cold rooms and central production facilities.
“With any commercial refrigeration it is crucial it’s
well maintained and meets strict Fgas regulations. For
our maintenance (PPM) clients, we attend each site
to educate the staff on how to avoid needless call outs,
such as over stocking, leaving the cold room door
open and avoiding incidents where the power supply
to a refrigeration cabinet is turned off.”
One of Synecore’s most challenging projects was
for a meat curing room at SMOAK Restaurant in
Manchester, owned by Malmaison Hotels. The curing
room was to become a centre piece to the front of
house restaurant. It needed to be lit perfectly in order
to display the hung meats in an artistic manor, while
providing the ideal ambient temperature for curing
meat.
“Every walk-in cold room we design is bespoke and
this project was testament to our ability to follow a
very strict design brief,” explains Thomas. “The angles
were very tight, however this suited our insulated
panel system, which meant we could cut them very
accurately and use every inch of space. For display
purposes we used heated glass panels that meant there
would be no condensation that could potentially
reduce the visual effect.”

Synecore worked closely with the interior designers
to ensure the design brief was met and the end result
was a beautifully crafted glass and zinc-plated cold
room. The jaw-dropping focal point has since proven
a resounding success among the restaurant staff and
its customers.
Cold room construction must be completely safe and
efficient and a product that Synecore consistently
champions is the PIR fire rated panels by KINGSPAN.
These LPCB approved panels have exceptional fire
ratings and eco credentials, making them a firm
favourite among architects and designers. Coupled
with an efficient plant, they are ideal for maintaining
a consistent temperature in all single and dual
compartment cold rooms.
Synecore’s all-encompassing mechanical and electrical
services are favoured among leading brands within the
hospitality sector. Its turnkey solutions for complex
central production facilities and display refrigeration
units have been commended by clients, who return
