Options that matter on site
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Braintree 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
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.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
Do you repair cold store doors in Braintree?
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 Essex?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Essex, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Braintree 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.
