Town: South Shields
Postcode district: NE33
Area: Tyne and Wear
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
Inside release. Every door can be opened from inside without a key, even if locked from outside.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in South Shields?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
