- Postcode district

- Area
- Greater Manchester
- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- 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 Radcliffe 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors
How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Radcliffe?
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 Radcliffe.
Why is our cold room door in Radcliffe 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.
Do you repair cold store doors in Radcliffe?
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.
