How we work on sites in Bodmin
Any project involving loading bay equipment at a working site in Bodmin takes planning. We survey free of charge, quote a fixed price in writing, and then agree a programme that keeps as much of the dock running as possible. Specialist installation engineers carry out the work under our management, out of hours if that suits you better. On completion we test each item, show your team how it operates and leave the documentation with you.
Planned servicing and reactive repairs in Bodmin 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.
- Condition of any existing leveller pit, kerb angles and pit drainage
- Whether planning, building control or a building warrant may be needed
- Wall and steel structure for door, shelter and bumper fixings
- Control positions, isolators and any existing interlocks
- Manual override and emergency operation on powered doors
- Previous service and inspection records, where available
Regulations and approvals in England
In England, Approved Document L (2021) sets a limiting U-value of 1.3 W/m²K for vehicle access and similar large doors in new and replacement work. That shapes door specification for sites in Bodmin, so we confirm the requirement for your project and check what applies at survey before recommending a door.

Questions
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in Bodmin?
We check at survey whether the work is likely to need approval. Forming a new opening or dock pit may need Building Regulations approval, a building warrant or building control approval, depending on the nation, and external structures such as loading houses can need planning permission. Where approval is needed, we explain what is involved, work with your designer or agent, and build it into the programme.
Is the site survey in Bodmin 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.
Do you provide a written report after each visit?
Yes. After every repair or service visit to a site in Bodmin, 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.
