Feed aggregator

Our Cold Chain refrigeration cabinets come in various sizes, Under Counter, Upright 400L, Upright 600L, Upright 1,200L and our fleet of bulk walk in fridge trailers Our first initial deliveries of Cold Chain refrigeration are back now from the pathology departments of London hospitals, deep cleaned, sterilised and ready to deliver back into the NHS Cold Chain

In addition to vaccine fridges we are also hiring additional heating, generators and lighting towers to vaccine stations and welfare pods all over the country.

We have been busy setting up heated pop up structures to accommodate an efficient through put of vaccinations since the Pfizer and Biontech vaccine announcement. The last few weeks we have been involved in delivering equipment to the many clean testing rooms being set up around the UK.

Our Covid-19 drive through vaccine pop up structure can be 9m x 6M, 6m x 6m, or 4m x 4m pop up or static canopies, open both ends to comply with the current social distance advice. The structure is heated using a 19kW - 29kW indirect heater plugged into a Trime X-Eco tower light. The tower light not only produces enough light inside the structure it also lights up the car parking area thus avoiding any trips or falls. We can also supply barriers and barrier posts to separate patients.

Our Covid-19 vaccine hire bundle and or component accessories are available to hire for a school vaccination or rent on longer term .

Our Covid-19 Vaccine Package consists of Chair, Heavy Duty Table, Stainless Steel Table, Fridge, 9m, 6m, or 4m Canopy, Trime X-Eco Lighting Tower, barriers, posts, hand wash station, delivery, set up, 24/7 technician support. Or any component item is available to hire short or long term.

We are also delivering over 50 hot holding cupboards, fridges, freezers, fridge trailers all in preparation for staff to be able to have their breaks and enjoy hot food and snacks whilst they tackle a massive vaccination task.

You can set up our system up in the middle of a field, car park, surgery courtyard, etc. Totally self-sufficient, comfortable, eco-friendly for nurse and patient.

As a leading hands on heating provider in the UK our work takes us to many different venues great and small. Whether you want to heat a small 6m x 6m dining tent in a pub garden or a 15 person wedding at The Orangery, Holland Park during lockdown and social distance, or a 80m x 50m marquee for a international passenger and frieght airline, we have a solution. We tell you the ins and outs of heating different structures and which fuel management you can consider.

You may have read various web pages that claim to be able to match a heating solution to an event space from a nice warm sales office chair, but the reality is you need to feed off a fair amount of knowledge and experience otherwise mistakes in calculations and or wasted fuel can cost you dearly. Not to mention a disaster on the event day.

Small Marquee – Our client is a well known country pub and restaurant within the catchment area of Goodwood Race Course and Motor Racing Circuit. During the Coronavirus pandemic the hospitality sector was hit hard by closure and latterly Social Distancing. Our client moved part of their restaurant into their garden adjacent to the pub. Autumn is upon us and the temperatures are dropping to close to zero at night. There are two very nicely dressed 6m x 6m marquees adjacent to each other creating a cosy space for their customers to enjoy great beer and lovely food.

Our brief is to provide consistent heating solution for each marquee throughout a range of temperatures, in the countryside taking into consideration the tranquil position the pub is sited in a small gathering of private dwellings. We went through some options with our client and both agreed to heat each tent independently with a small indirect 19kw area heater connected to a room thermostat. It is important to not over engineer the heating solution otherwise all the heat from the warm up – cool down cycle of the heater is pushed out through inevitable small marquee wall and eaves gaps not allowing the space to rise in temperature. The pub were able to source some straw bales locally which were positioned to baffle any noise from the external indirect heaters.

Our engineers loaded out at the pub, connected the heaters up to specially manufactured low level diffusers, positioned the room thermostats in both tents, fired up the heating and carried out noise checks using our decibel monitoring device. Our small heater solution created a very low noise output of 53dB well below the audiology of normal conversation.

Each heater will run for 40 hours calling for heat, although we expect the run time of a tank of fuel to be much longer as the heater thermostat cycles the heater. Ambient temperature and opening doors will play a big part in the fuel usage. Perhaps if we get a hard winter we may have to upgrade the heaters to the next size up in order to provide a consistent warm environment.

Re-Fuelling – There are a few different fuel solutions when considering fuel cost, inconvenience, contamination, health & safety, heater performance. I will go into detail on each fuel option.

Kerosene – v – Red Diesel – Kero or paraffin as its was known in the past is a “clean burn” fuel with very few contaminates after refining. Aircraft and helicopters run on a hybrid grade of kero so it must be good heating oil. By contrast Red Diesel is full of contaminates, causes the heaters to smoke, has vegetable and chip oil (bio diesel) mixed in with it (green sustainable idea) which causes diesel bug that blocks up the heating mechanisms and created additional expense and inconvenience for the hirer. During 2019 thousands of farmers had their machinery ruined by contaminated red diesel. Luckily our fleet of event generators were not affected but our road tow bowsers were affected and the fuel supplier was out to us within hours to collect the contaminated fuel, providing a refund at the same speed leaving us with a contamination mess that cost thousands of pounds and many days of inconvenience. Our policy of filtering all delivered diesel fuels not been in place for a number of years the contamination of our fleet on event generators could have been a very different story.

Jerry Cans are a source of contamination in the fuel either from rust or water globules that have formed of will form over a period of storage time. The ground contamination from ‘glug spillages’ has to be dug up and new turf installed to restore grass.

Fuel Box supply a solution in a box, you can either buy a few 20 litre boxes or you can buy a pallet of 20 litre boxes to get a better per litre price. Storage and movement of a tonne of boxes of kerosene has its difficulties, our delivered cost per litre of fuel in a convenient portable bowser is the same cost per litre as Fuel Box prices.

Portable Fuel Bowser is a more convenient and controllable option which can either be left onsite for the client to refuel or we can attend on a predetermined day cycle to top up the heaters.

Static Bunded Kero Tank – can be a quick and convenient longer term solution for at least Autumn through to Spring. If access is easy for installation and bulk fuel deliveries we can supply the same heaters with a long term fuel feed solution whereby you only have to monitor the fuel tank level via a Bluetooth fuel tank gauge ordering 1,000 litre drops at your leisure. Health and Safety isn’t compromised and the fuel lines are reinforced hydraulic grade heavy duty pipes with a life cycle of 10 or more years.

Buy, Hire, or Rent – in these ever changing pandemic times that is a decision you have to make. If you buy the wrong solution you have to maintain it and repair it as you go. The equipment will have very little residual value as thousands of pubs and eateries in the UK are seeking the same solutions. Sometimes its best to stick to what your know best and let others provide the same.

Quotes – we can provide quotes on demand, there is an initial requirement for a site visit before we are able to give advice and quote for the best solution for your circumstances. The cost of a site visit can be found by clicking here https://www.outside-catering-hire.co.uk/viewdetail.php?recordID=3333 which we can credit back to you should you go ahead with our quote.

Medium Size Marquee our client is a Canine Aqua Splash business who has a 9m x 18m covering over an exercise pool. It is important that their clients are warm and cosy whilst their dogs exercise and or receive physio therapy in the pool. In the long term our client opted for a long term buy outright solution which will have a relatively short pay back period due to the ability to bulk buy their heating fuel.

Large Marquee - Prior to Covid-19 we were asked to quote to heat a very large marque 80m x 50m that was to hold 1,200 standing guests at a Christmas party. The marquee did not have a roof lining which caused condensation to drip onto the lovely red carpet overnight. Our client hadn’t factored in that heater would have to run overnight to eliminate condensation. Naturally the marquee had several fire exits, very large entrance doors, exit doors to outside catering arears and doors to a host of luxury trailer loos. Our brief was to quote for a solution that would keep everyone warm. The heating budget wasn’t enough to confirm all the equipment, our heating equipment was reduced by 50%. On the night of the party most of the doors were wide open, the temperature dropped to zero degrees and our client’s health a safety team had given instructions that the heater be moved from the end of the marquee to the side of the marquee an hour before guests arrived because the heater was connected to a fuel bowser.

The purpose of a high volume low heat output marquee heater is to fill the event space with warm air, create positive air pressure, and to replace lost warm air on demand. If you open all the doors and cut the heating budget the marquee will struggle to reach a comfortable temperature unless you either increase the heating equipment or go around all night closing the doors. Fortunately our site engineer anticipated extra heat would be needed and swiftly switch on a couple of smaller backup heaters to compensate.

As the clock ticks we are getting more and more calls to clear second hand catering equipment from eateries and restrurants in and around the UK.

Our second hand catering equipment website was born circa 10 years ago, but now it is really in full swing.

Second hand Rational and Convotherm combi ovens seem to be heading our way almost on a daily basis.

Our in house Rational engineers carefully clean off all the kitchen grime from inside and outside.

The then descale the inside and outside of the oven and check every componant is functioning correctly.

Some historic users will know that if a circuit board or fan motor fails, either repair can cost in excess of £1,000.

When we sell our Rational ovens we offer a 3 month *RTB labour warranty.

In the unlikely event something goes wrong we are always available to offer a solution.

We currently have stock of the Burco hand washing stations which are effective against the CoronaVirus.
