What we fit in Stalybridge

Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.

What this work can involve

Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Stalybridge 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.
