How we work on sites in Helensburgh
Our part of the job in Helensburgh is to survey, quote and manage; the fitting itself is done by specialist installation engineers working under our management. The survey and the written quote are free. Once the fixed price is accepted, we agree dates that work around your deliveries and shifts, including out-of-hours working where needed. Every installation is tested before handover, and you receive the documentation for each item fitted.
Planned servicing and reactive repairs in Helensburgh are both chargeable. We agree the price of each visit in writing beforehand, and we never extend the scope without asking. Photos taken by your team help us plan the work and the parts. The engineer records the condition of doors, levellers, shelters and safety equipment as they go, and you receive that as a written report after the visit.

Questions
What details do you need from us to quote for loading bay work?
To get started, send the site address in Helensburgh, the number of bays or openings, approximate sizes, and photos of the dock from inside and outside. Tell us what vehicles you load, what goods you handle and any temperature requirements. Drawings help on new builds. We then arrange the free survey and confirm the details before the written quote is issued.
Can you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Helensburgh?
Yes. For new warehouses and fit-outs, we can supply and install the dock package as part of a wider project, working to the main contractor's programme, site rules and permits. We will need drawings, dock levels and the programme, and we coordinate pit details, power supplies and door openings with the relevant trades before installation begins.
Do you provide a written report after each visit?
Yes. After every repair or service visit to a site in Helensburgh, you receive a written report setting out what was checked, what was found, what work was carried out and anything that still needs attention, with a quote for further work where needed. The report is useful for your maintenance records and for discussions with your insurer or inspector.
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.
