How we work on sites in Northwich
If you are planning loading bay equipment for a site in Northwich, expect four stages. A free survey and fixed written quote come first. We then agree a programme with you, including any out-of-hours work. Specialist installation engineers carry out the installation under our management, with us as your single point of contact. Finally, the equipment is tested, your staff are shown how it works and everything is handed over with its documentation.
Repair and service visits in Northwich are chargeable, and we agree the price with you in writing before anyone attends. Photos or a short video of the fault help us send the right engineer with the right parts. If the visit uncovers more work than expected, we quote it and wait for your approval before going ahead. After every visit you receive a written report on what was found and done.
- Power supply at each bay, including three-phase availability
- Asbestos register and any other site hazard information
- Yard gradient and the slope of the approach to the dock
- Drainage on recessed or sloping dock approaches
- Safety edges, photocells and light curtains
- Traffic light function and interlock operation
What do the rules in England mean for the work?
Workplace safety in England is regulated by HSE. For a loading bay in Northwich, that means doors meeting regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, equipment maintained under PUWER and suitable safeguards against vehicles driving away too early. We check what applies at survey and design the bay accordingly.

Questions
Can you work outside our normal operating hours in Northwich?
Yes, by arrangement. Evening, night and weekend working can be planned so the installation causes as little disruption as possible to your loading schedule. Out-of-hours work can affect the price, so mention it at the survey and we will include it in the written quote. The agreed times are confirmed in the programme before the job starts.
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 Northwich, 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.
How often should equipment at our Northwich 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.
