I’ve read many threads on this forum regarding old fridges turned into fermentation chambers/ keezers but wonder if anyone sells purpose built ones. I’m a total numpty with all things DIY and technology (I do well just to log into this site!) so definitely cannot be trusted with building anything electrical!
Can anyone recommend a supplier as I’m looking to improve my brews using better temperature control particularly during secondary fermentation and conditioning.

Thanks
 
a fermentation chamber is different to a keezer.

If you want a fermentation chamber you don't touch the electrics.
Get a fridge big enough. Insert an inkbird device. Plug in a heater and that's it.
This. With the right fridge you don’t even need to worry about re-routing the temperature probe through the drain hole because the fridge will seal with the wires sticking out of the door.

If the OP is talking about a keezer, Mangrove Jacks do a ready made kegerator.
 
Getting an old fridge and Inkbird has to be one of the best moves I made with my brewing. Gumtree will probably reveal several cheap fridges locally just make sure you can fit your fv in. I have two fridges, one takes two fv’s and one one so I have quite a bit of flexibility and can ferment and cold crash/lager at the same time.

I’ve recently upgraded to 2 fridges. I’ve not bought a heater for the new one yet, but I’m seeing the difference already - managed to carb 2 batches in one and chill 2 batches (which were going to a stag do) at the same time a fortnight ago.
