Great experience with non-standard heating elements

We approached TP Fay with a non-standard request to help us with a research project. It is always 10x harder when we work on innovation because nothing is off the shelf. David was very approachable and we brainstormed the best solution for us. When heaters arrived something was wrong with dimensions and David and his team were very accommodating and fabricated replacement which worked even better.

We previously opted for another…

We previously opted for another supplier's "budget-friendly" generic-sized elements for our products, only to encounter persistent issues with premature failures at the juncture of the cold ends and the heating components within a few months. Frustrated by the recurring problems, I reached out to TP Fay, recalling their successful completion of other element projects for us in the past.

The TP Fay team not only addressed our concerns but also proposed an enhanced design that not only fit more seamlessly but also presented a significantly more professional appearance. While it's true that these bespoke elements come with a higher price tag compared to the generic alternatives, the investment has proven worthwhile. Since transitioning to TP Fay's elements, we haven't experienced a single callout due to a failed element—underscoring the realisation that the initially cheaper elements were, in fact, a false economy and a waste of time.

We appreciate the expertise and commitment to quality demonstrated by TP Fay, and this positive experience reinforces our confidence in the value of investing in superior, tailored solutions for our products.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review.
We often hear the stories of buying cheaper actually becoming the more expensive option with the reoccurring issues due to the 'budget' service/quality that pairs with the budget price sometimes.
We are committed to providing high quality products and service throughout the ordering process to ensure you find the right solution for your application. We also like to guarantee a level of aftercare should any issues arise.
It is wonderful to have such positive feedback from your experience, and we are always happy to help with any queries you may have.

We repair and look after fast food restaurants/eaterys.
We had a subway customer that needed an element for their hotwell, the hotwell was no longer in production with no replacement spare parts available and as this stores is built into the front counter, it would have been very costly for the customer to replace.

We taken the old element to TPFay and they managed to make us a new one with a quicker turnaround than we imagined!

Customer was very happy with not having to replace the full counter and was even more happy with the turnaround!

Been using TPFay for good couple of years with no issues, they are very helpful and knowledgeable with the elements.

Thank you for taking the time to share this excellent feedback!
We see this too often in the catering industry the word 'obsolete' can turn a small replacement in to replacing an entire (expensive) unit! We are glad we can offer bespoke heaters to fix these issues fast and reduce waste for our customers.
If you have any further queries, we are always happy to help!

Commercial brewery element - great product

We needed a big heating element for a brewery copper. David designed, configured and supplied the part which is far superior to the orignal equipment.
His advice about heat dissipation on the contact surface has made our beer better by reducing Maillard products in the wort.
Highly recommended

What a nice surprise

What a nice surprise, a return quote in only a few hours and best of all,” will a delivery Friday be OK”, not the sucking of teeth and “you might have to wait 10plus weeks “ heard from others.
Thanks Zoe and your team.
