Quick answer
Temperature-controlled rooms in Streatham (SW16) need doors that seal tightly, open safely from inside and stand up to forklift traffic. We specify, fit and commission them with full handover records.
- Town
- Streatham
- Postcode district
- SW16
- Area
- Greater London
- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
What this work can involve
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
- 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 Streatham 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Cold store and freezer doors in Streatham: your questions
What safety release do cold store doors in Streatham 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.
Do you repair cold store doors in Streatham?
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.
Can you replace a freezer door at our Streatham 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.
