How we work on sites in Dunoon
Step one is a survey at your site in Dunoon, which costs nothing and carries no obligation. Step two is a written quote with a fixed price and a clear scope. Step three is installation, scheduled around your operation and carried out by specialist installation engineers working under our management, including evenings or weekends if agreed. Step four is handover, when the equipment is tested in front of you and the paperwork is passed over.
Tell us what has gone wrong at your Dunoon site and, if you can, send photos of the fault and any labels on the equipment. We then confirm the visit price in writing, and nobody attends until you have agreed it. On site, the engineer diagnoses and repairs what was agreed; anything extra is quoted first, never added without your say-so. A written report follows, covering findings, work carried out and recommendations.
- Power supply at each bay, including three-phase availability
- Gaps around trailers where heated or chilled air escapes
- Temperature requirements for chilled, frozen or ambient goods
- How drivers are prevented from pulling away too early
- Door panels, side seals and bottom rubbers
- Hydraulic oil level, hoses and cylinders for leaks
Regulations and approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, building work such as forming a new opening or a dock leveller pit may need a building warrant from the local authority before it starts. For sites in Dunoon, external structures such as loading houses or canopies may also need planning permission from the council. We check what applies at survey and factor any approvals into the programme.
Sites in and around Dunoon are covered by arrangement. There is no charge for the survey or the written quote, and any travel, ferry crossings or overnight stays needed for the installation itself are itemised in the quote, so you see the full price before agreeing.

Questions
Do you remove and dispose of the old equipment?
Yes, where it is part of the scope. When we replace doors, levellers, shelters or seals at a site in Dunoon, removal and disposal of the old equipment can be included and is itemised in the quote, so it is clear what is covered. If anything should be kept, such as a frame or motor that is still serviceable, we agree that at survey.
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in Dunoon?
We check at survey whether the work is likely to need approval. Forming a new opening or dock pit may need Building Regulations approval, a building warrant or building control approval, depending on the nation, and external structures such as loading houses can need planning permission. Where approval is needed, we explain what is involved, work with your designer or agent, and build it into the programme.
How often should equipment at our Dunoon site be serviced?
It depends on how hard the equipment works and on the manufacturer's recommendations. A multi-shift dock with frequent trailer movements needs more attention than a door that opens a few times a day. We suggest a schedule after looking at the equipment and how it is used, and we can line visits up with your insurance inspections where that helps.
How much does loading bay work cost?
It depends on what you need. Our published guide prices run from £120 per dock bumper to £32,000 per loading house, and a complete bay with door, leveller, shelter and safety kit is typically £13,500 to £26,000 per bay, all excluding VAT. See the prices page for every item.
