Cold store and freezer doors in Yeovil

In short

Temperature-controlled rooms in Yeovil (BA20) need doors that seal tightly, open safely from inside and stand up to forklift traffic. We specify, fit and commission them with full handover records.

Town: Yeovil
Postcode district: BA20
Area: Somerset
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
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.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing an iced-up sliding freezer door with a new insulated door, heated frame and heated threshold.
Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Protecting new cold store door frames with steel buffers and bollards on a busy forklift route.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Yeovil?

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.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Cold store and freezer doors in Yeovil: your questions

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Somerset?

Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across Somerset, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.

Why is our cold room door in Yeovil 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 you replace a freezer door at our Yeovil site without losing stock?

We plan the change with you and your refrigeration engineer. Many doors can be swapped in a day, sometimes with stock moved or the plant set back temporarily, so the room returns to temperature quickly.
