What is the Price of a Commercial Cold Room in the UK?

The following is a breakdown of what influences the price:

1. Capacities and Sizes

   Custom-built rooms (10 m 2 and larger) can cost more than £15,000 £20,000 depending on the amount of storage and access required.

2. Chiller Vs Freezer Room
