How we work on sites in St Austell
Keeping the dock running is usually the first concern, so we plan around it. After a free survey of your St Austell site and a written quote at a fixed price, we agree when each bay can be released and whether any work should happen out of hours. Specialist installation engineers working under our management then fit the equipment, and we test it and hand over the documentation before the bay goes back into use.
For loading bay repairs at sites in St Austell, you will always know the cost before anyone sets off. The visit is chargeable and its price is agreed in writing. Clear photos of the problem help the engineer arrive prepared. Where the visit reveals more work, we stop, explain and quote before going further, and a written report follows every attendance so you have a record of the condition of each item.
- Control positions, isolators and any existing interlocks
- Age and condition of the equipment already in place
- Condition of any existing leveller pit, kerb angles and pit drainage
- Wheel guide positions and yard markings for reversing vehicles
- Leveller toe guards and side skirting, where fitted
- Hydraulic oil level, hoses and cylinders for leaks
What do the rules in England mean for the work?
Lift tables and dock lifts in St Austell 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
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in St Austell?
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.
Which building and safety rules apply to a site in St Austell?
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 St Austell, we check what applies at survey and design to it.
Can repairs be carried out outside our working hours?
Yes, by arrangement. Evening, night or weekend visits can be booked so that repairs and servicing at your St Austell site cause less disruption to loading. Out-of-hours attendance usually affects the price, so we include it when we agree the visit charge in writing. Tell us your shift pattern and the times when the dock is quietest.
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.
