Quick answer
Temperature-controlled rooms in Runcorn (WA7) need doors that seal tightly, open safely from inside and stand up to forklift traffic. We specify, fit and commission them with full handover records.

- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
What this work can involve
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Runcorn 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.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Runcorn can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Cheshire?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Cheshire, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
Can our cold store door in Runcorn be made electric?
Often, yes, if the leaf and track are sound, or with a new electric sliding door. Powered cold store doors need safety edges and photocells and a drive suited to the temperature.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Runcorn site without losing stock?
We plan the change with you and your refrigeration engineer. Many doors can be swapped in a day, sometimes with stock moved or the plant set back temporarily, so the room returns to temperature quickly.
