The story

Fast, compliant gasket replacement for a family-run service business

The client

Ches UK is a family-run service company based in Surrey, supporting hospitality customers with day-to-day maintenance and compliance. Their role often involves responding quickly to issues flagged during inspections, where delays can have serious knock-on effects for their customers.

The challenge

One of Ches UK’s restaurant customers received a compliance issue from an Environmental Health Officer. Damaged or failing fridge door seals were identified as a hygiene risk and needed replacing urgently to meet food safety standards. For Ches UK, this presented a familiar but tricky challenge. Multiple fridge and cold room units, across different brands, all requiring specific seals. Under normal circumstances, sourcing these parts could mean dealing with several suppliers, stock delays, and staggered deliveries. That would increase cost, risk missed deadlines, and leave their customer exposed to further compliance action. Time was critical. So was accuracy.

The Solution

The solution

Jonathan from Ches UK emailed Gasket Guy at 5.40am on Monday morning. A quote was issued first thing that same day, allowing the order to be approved immediately.

All required seals, around 20 in total across a range of appliance brands, were sourced together and dispatched the same day. Everything arrived in one delivery on Tuesday, ready for installation at the customer’s site.

By consolidating the order into a single supply and delivery, Ches UK avoided the usual complexity of multiple suppliers, partial shipments, and uncertain lead times. It also meant one van journey within the UK rather than several, reducing both cost and carbon impact.


The outcome


The replacement seals were installed promptly, allowing the restaurant to meet EHO hygiene requirements without further disruption. Ches UK were able to resolve the issue quickly, protect their customer relationship, and avoid escalation or potential penalties.

From first contact to delivery, the turnaround was measured in hours rather than days. The job stayed compliant, efficient, and predictable, which is exactly what service companies need when working under inspection pressure.


Why it mattered


For hospitality businesses, fridge and cold room seals are not a small detail. Failed seals can lead to temperature loss, food safety risks, and failed inspections.

For service companies like Ches UK, having a reliable supplier who understands urgency, compliance, and accuracy makes the difference between firefighting and fixing the problem properly.

We recently faced an urgent situation after receiving a compliance issue flagged by the Environmental Health Officer at one of our restaurants. The team at Gasket Guy went above and beyond to resolve the problem. Their response was incredibly fast, and they supplied the correct door gaskets without delay, ensuring we met all hygiene standards promptly. The professionalism, efficiency, and commitment to customer service were outstanding. We highly recommend Rachel and Ian at Gasket Guy for anyone needing reliable products and exceptional support in critical moments.
