Town: Bideford
Postcode district: EX39
Area: Devon
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.

What this work can involve

Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Bideford 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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Bideford 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.

Cold store and freezer doors in Bideford: your questions

How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Bideford?

Our guide price for a sliding cold store or freezer door is £6,495 to £17,995 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. Size, temperature, insulation and electric operation set the final price, confirmed in writing after a free survey in Bideford.

Why is our cold room door in Bideford hard to open after it closes?

Usually negative pressure: air inside cools and contracts once the door seals. A correctly sized pressure relief valve, heated on freezers, solves this. We check for one on survey and can fit it with a new door.

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Devon?

Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Devon, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
