Finding spare parts for commercial refrigeration equipment can be both time consuming and expensive and in some cases the manufacturer, may no longer be in business. To make matters worse even some of the biggest brand names do not hold stocks of spares in the UK, and sourcing from Europe or North America takes both time and money.

First Choice Refrigeration Spares Ltd can supply spare parts for refrigeration equipment from all the major manufacturers from Europe and North America and even the difficult to locate spares from the lesser names in the industry. From the warehouse in the centre of England it can supply from stock the most diverse range of commonly needed spares in the UK, all available for next day delivery if ordered before 5.00pm.
