What we fit in Portishead
- Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
- Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Heated frames. Freezer frames and thresholds are kept just warm enough that ice cannot form on the seals.
- Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
- Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
- Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Portishead are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Portishead 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.

Cold store and freezer doors in Portishead: your questions
Can our cold store door in Portishead 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 Portishead 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.
What safety release do cold store doors in Portishead need?
Every cold store door should open from inside without a key or tool, even when locked from outside. We fit a clearly marked inside release and can add an alarm button connected to a monitored panel.
