What we fit in Barnstaple
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
What this work can involve
- Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Barnstaple 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
Sites in and around Barnstaple vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
What safety release do cold store doors in Barnstaple 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.
Can our cold store door in Barnstaple 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.
Do you repair cold store doors in Barnstaple?
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.
