What we fit in County Durham

Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.

Jobs we can carry out

Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
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 County Durham 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

Most installations in County Durham 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.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors

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

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 County Durham.

What safety release do cold store doors in County Durham 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.

Why is our cold room door in County Durham 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.
