Quick answer
Is your freezer door icing up or failing to seal at your Gloucestershire site? We replace worn cold store doors with insulated sliding or hinged doors, heated frames and pressure relief where needed.

- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Gloucestershire 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
For busy sites in the South West the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Gloucestershire
What safety release do cold store doors in Gloucestershire 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 Gloucestershire 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.
Why is our cold room door in Gloucestershire 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.
