What we fit in Cheshire
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
Typical scopes of work
- Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Cheshire are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
What safety release do cold store doors in Cheshire need?
Every cold store door should open from inside without a key or tool, even when locked from outside. We fit a clearly marked inside release and can add an alarm button connected to a monitored panel.
Do you repair cold store doors in Cheshire?
Yes. We replace gaskets, frame heaters, rollers, tracks, releases and drives on most makes. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before larger repairs or recommend replacement when the leaf itself has failed.
Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in the North West?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across the North West, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
