What we fit in Rayleigh
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- 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 Rayleigh 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
Sites in and around Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh 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.
How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Rayleigh?
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 Rayleigh.
