What we fit in Croydon

Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Croydon?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Croydon 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

Why is our cold room door in Croydon 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.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Croydon 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.

Do you repair cold store doors in Croydon?

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.
