The short version
Building a new cold room in Hatfield 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.

- Postcode district

- Area
- Hertfordshire
- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Electric sliding. Motorised sliding doors with pull cords, radar or loops and safety edges.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
What this work can involve
- Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Powered door rules that apply in Hatfield
Hatfield is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Hertfordshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Hatfield
Why is our cold room door in Hatfield 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 supply cold store doors for food businesses in Hertfordshire?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Hertfordshire, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
Can our cold store door in Hatfield 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.
