Area: Tyne and Wear
Nation: England
Main town: Newcastle upon Tyne
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
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.

What this work can involve

Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.

Powered door rules that apply in Tyne and Wear

Tyne and Wear 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can our cold store door in Tyne and Wear 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.

What safety release do cold store doors in Tyne and Wear 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.

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in the North East?

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