How we work on sites in Kempston
Our part of the job in Kempston 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.
We do not turn up and then name a price. Every repair or service visit in Kempston is agreed in writing first, including what the charge covers. Sending photos of the damage, error codes or leaks helps us diagnose the problem before travelling and bring the likely parts. Any additional work found on the day is quoted for your approval before it starts. You then get a written report for your records.
- Wall and steel structure for door, shelter and bumper fixings
- Gaps around trailers where heated or chilled air escapes
- Wind exposure at the dock, which affects door and shelter choice
- Working hours, shift patterns and windows for out-of-hours work
- Safety edges, photocells and light curtains
- Door springs, cables and drums for wear or damage
Regulations and approvals in England
Lift tables and dock lifts in Kempston may fall under LOLER, with thorough examination at least every 12 months, or every 6 months where people are lifted. It depends on the equipment and how it is used, and your insurer or competent person will confirm. Dock levellers are usually treated as work equipment under PUWER. We check what applies at survey.

Questions
What details do you need from us to quote for loading bay work?
To get started, send the site address in Kempston, 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.
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 Kempston, 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.
Do you provide a written report after each visit?
Yes. After every repair or service visit to a site in Kempston, 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.
