What we fit in Nelson
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Nelson?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in Nelson?
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 Nelson.
Why is our cold room door in Nelson 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.
Can our cold store door in Nelson 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.
