Read moreI have used the services of GasketGuy for many years and in three different establishments, a hotel in Dartmouth, a hotel in Torquay and for the last seven years here at Exeter Golf and Country Club. We have had a site inspection conducted by Al which included the logging of the make and model of every fridge and freezer in our three kitchens and five bars. This gives GasketGuy the benefit of having a bespoke asset register for all our seals on all of our equipment. This makes it very quick and easy if we ever need a repair or a replacement, we simply just quote the GG ID number on the appliance and they know exactly which seal we require. Their service is on point, Al knows our site and GasketGuy offer great value for money compared to another well-known company who also supplies fridge seals!
With the asset register, it’s easy to re-order with the coded stickers. We get our seals in a couple of days and then we can fit them easily and quickly.
We used GaskeyGuy to get advice on our commercial fridge which was in need of some TLC. They recommended a new gasket that was bespoke, made onsite and fitted there and then. The whole process and service was quick, personal and professional. We can’t recommend them highly enough.
Gasket Guy have done a phenomenal job on rationalizing our spend on fridge seals across the entire estate whilst offering a quality bespoke product. We have found this to be an extremely cost effective way of renewing and replacing seals as and when they break. The customer service has been second to none and I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a similar service.
As a refrigeration company door seals can be sometimes challenging to procure. Refrigeration units that are bespoke or not part of the normal leading manufacturers can cost us as a company valuable time procuring and quoting when we could be focused on more pressing parts.
We started working with GasketGuy last year to identify the more difficult gaskets but with their customer service and attention to detail we decided to give them our conventional gaskets as they were extremely competitive and provided a quick turnaround with top quality products to match their service.
They will build an asset list of your client's units so that when the gasket is required you will have the price to hand, all you have to do is give the asset number upon order. They also make to measure and can provide a fitting service if needed.
GasketGuy have added so much value to our business and customers. I would highly recommend GasketGuy to anyone in need of refrigeration door seals.
