Cold store and freezer doors in Middleton

In short

Temperature-controlled rooms in Middleton (M24) 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: Middleton
Postcode district: M24
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for 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.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
