How we work across Cornwall
Step one is a survey at your site in Cornwall, 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.
Every visit to a site in Cornwall begins with an agreed price. The charge is confirmed in writing before an engineer attends, so the cost is clear from the outset. Photos of the fault, the data plate and the surrounding area make diagnosis easier. Extra work found during the visit is priced and approved before it is done. A written report then sets out what was found, what was fixed and what still needs attention.
- Headroom above the opening and which track type will suit it
- Forklift and pallet truck loads crossing the leveller platform

- Working hours, shift patterns and windows for out-of-hours work
- Drainage on recessed or sloping dock approaches
- Clear opening width and height for each door
Which rules apply in England?
Workplace safety in England is regulated by HSE. For a loading bay in Cornwall, 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
Which building and safety rules apply to a site in Cornwall?
It depends on which UK nation the site is in. England and Wales use Building Regulations approval, Scotland uses building warrants and Northern Ireland uses building control approval from the council. Workplace safety is regulated by HSE in Great Britain and HSENI in Northern Ireland, and energy rules differ between nations. For your site in Cornwall, we check what applies at survey and design to it.
Is the site survey in Cornwall free?
Yes. For new installations, replacements, upgrades, conversions and complete bays, the site survey and written quote are free and come with no obligation. The survey lets us measure the openings, check the dock and structure, and understand how the bay is used, so the quote reflects your site. Repair and servicing visits are different: they are chargeable, with the price agreed before anyone attends.
Can you repair all makes of loading bay equipment?
We work on common makes and types of doors, dock levellers, shelters, seals and restraints. Parts availability varies, particularly for older or discontinued equipment, so it helps to send the make, model and photos of any data plates from your site in Cornwall. If original parts are not available, we tell you and price the alternatives, including replacement where that makes more sense.
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.
