Options for cold store and freezer doors in Whitley Bay

Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
Hygienic finishes. Plastisol-coated steel, stainless steel or GRP for food and pharmaceutical use.
Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.

What this work can involve

Installing a high-speed freezer door in front of an existing sliding cold store door on a busy picking route.
Adding a heated pressure relief valve to a freezer room where suction makes the door hard to open once it closes.
Renewing worn gaskets and the frame heater on a chiller door that no longer seals properly.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Whitley Bay?

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in Tyne and Wear?

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

Why is our cold room door in Whitley Bay 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 Whitley Bay 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.
