What we fit in Heswall
- 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.
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Impact protection. Protection around the opening helps stop forklifts damaging expensive insulated leaves.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.
- Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Heswall?
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
Sites in and around Heswall vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Heswall
Do you repair cold store doors in Heswall?
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.
Can our cold store door in Heswall 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.
Why is our cold room door in Heswall 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.
