Cold store and freezer doors in Portsmouth

In short

Building a new cold room in Portsmouth or replacing a tired door? We quote a fixed price in writing after a free survey that covers temperature, traffic, hygiene and pressure relief needs.

Town: Portsmouth
Postcode district: PO1
Area: Hampshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.

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 Portsmouth?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Why is our cold room door in Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth?

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 Portsmouth.

What safety release do cold store doors in Portsmouth need?

Every cold store door should open from inside without a key or tool, even when locked from outside. We fit a clearly marked inside release and can add an alarm button connected to a monitored panel.
