At a glance

Building a new cold room in Lancashire 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.

Area: Lancashire
Nation: England
Main town: Preston
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
Hygienic finishes. Smooth, cleanable finishes chosen to meet your hygiene and audit standards.
Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Thick insulation. Insulation thickness is chosen for your operating temperature, with heavier leaves for freezers.

Typical scopes of work

Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Lancashire can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in the North West?

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

Can our cold store door in Lancashire 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.

Yes. We replace gaskets, frame heaters, rollers, tracks, releases and drives on most makes. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before larger repairs or recommend replacement when the leaf itself has failed.
