- Town
- West Bridgford
- Postcode district
- NG2
- Area
- Nottinghamshire
- Survey
- Free for new installations
What to specify
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
- Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
- 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.
Powered door rules that apply in West Bridgford
West Bridgford 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.
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.

Cold store and freezer doors in West Bridgford: your questions
Why is our cold room door in West Bridgford 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 West Bridgford 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.
How much does a cold store or freezer door cost in West Bridgford?
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 West Bridgford.
