What we fit in Preston
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.

Typical scopes of work
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in Preston
Preston 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.
How the work is organised
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
Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Lancashire?
Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Lancashire, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.
Do you repair cold store doors in Preston?
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.

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.
