Cold store and freezer doors in Chepstow

In short

Temperature-controlled rooms in Chepstow (NP16) 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: Chepstow
Postcode district: NP16
Area: Gwent
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.

Typical scopes of work

Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.

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

In Wales, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about cold store and freezer doors

Can you replace a freezer door at our Chepstow 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 supply cold store doors for food businesses in Gwent?

Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Gwent, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.

Why is our cold room door in Chepstow 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.
