Cold store and freezer doors for food producers, distributors, kitchens and pharmaceutical sites in Hythe. We survey the room, opening and traffic, then supply and fit an insulated door with the right seals and safety release.

Town: Hythe
Postcode district: SO45
Area: Hampshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.

What this work can involve

Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Questions from businesses in Hythe

Can our cold store door in Hythe be made electric?

Often, yes, if the leaf and track are sound, or with a new electric sliding door. Powered cold store doors need safety edges and photocells and a drive suited to the temperature.

Why is our cold room door in Hythe 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.

How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Hythe?

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 Hythe.
