How we work on sites in Lochgilphead
Your loading bay stays our responsibility from the survey to the handover. In Lochgilphead, the survey and written quote are free, and the quoted price is fixed for the agreed scope. Installation is carried out by specialist engineers working under our management, at times planned with you to protect your loading schedule. Out-of-hours work is available by arrangement. We finish by testing the equipment and handing over its documentation.
When something stops working at a loading bay in Lochgilphead, contact us with a description and, ideally, photos. We will confirm the cost of the visit in writing before booking anyone. If the engineer finds the problem goes further than expected, you receive a quote for the additional work and decide whether to proceed. Every visit is followed by a written report you can keep with your maintenance records.
- Condition of any existing leveller pit, kerb angles and pit drainage
- Wall and steel structure for door, shelter and bumper fixings
- Access for deliveries, cranes or lifting equipment during installation
- Power supply at each bay, including three-phase availability
- Vehicle restraint engagement and its signal sequence
- Shelter curtains, frames and side pads for tears
What do the rules in Scotland mean for the work?
Energy standards for buildings in Scotland are set out in Section 6 of the Building Standards Technical Handbook. For new or replacement loading bay doors in Lochgilphead, we confirm the figure that applies to your project and check what applies at survey, rather than relying on rules written for elsewhere in the UK.
We cover Lochgilphead by arrangement. The survey and written quote stay free: for remote and island sites we often start from your photos, drawings and a video call, then confirm measurements on site. Travel and any accommodation needed for the installation are shown as separate lines in the fixed quote.

Questions
Can you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Lochgilphead?
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 cover Lochgilphead for loading bay work?
Yes. We take on loading bay work for businesses in Lochgilphead and across Argyll and Bute. We survey the site, provide a fixed written quote and manage the installation, with specialist installation engineers working under our management. Visits are arranged in advance at a time that suits your operation, and the same single contact stays with the job through to handover.
What happens if the engineer finds the equipment unsafe?
If equipment is found to be unsafe, the engineer will tell you straight away and recommend that it is isolated and taken out of use until it is repaired. That is recorded in the written report. We then quote the repair so you can decide how to proceed. Keeping an unsafe door or leveller in service puts people at risk, so we will always raise it.
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.
