How we work on sites in Truro
If you are planning loading bay equipment for a site in Truro, 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.
Before a repair visit in Truro, we ask three things: what the equipment is, what it is doing wrong and whether you can send photos. With that, we price the visit and confirm it in writing, and nobody attends until you agree. If the engineer finds further faults, they are quoted first and only fixed with your approval. Each visit ends with a written report of findings and work done.
- Power supply at each bay, including three-phase availability
- Age and condition of the equipment already in place
- Drainage on recessed or sloping dock approaches
- Working hours, shift patterns and windows for out-of-hours work
- Traffic light function and interlock operation
- Pit frame welds, platform cracks and structural damage
Which rules apply in England?
Sites in Truro fall under the rules for England. Structural changes such as forming a new opening or a dock leveller pit may need Building Regulations approval, and external structures such as loading houses, canopies or new dock approaches can need planning permission from the local planning authority. We check what applies at survey and build any approvals into the plan.

Questions
Can you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Truro?
Yes. For new warehouses and fit-outs, we can supply and install the dock package as part of a wider project, working to the main contractor's programme, site rules and permits. We will need drawings, dock levels and the programme, and we coordinate pit details, power supplies and door openings with the relevant trades before installation begins.
What warranty comes with new loading bay equipment?
New equipment comes with the manufacturer's warranty, which varies by product. Our workmanship terms are set out in writing in the quote for your Truro site, so you can see what is covered before you commit. Check the warranty terms for any servicing conditions, and we can quote for planned maintenance once the installation is complete.
Do you cover Cornwall for dock leveller repairs?
Yes. We take on dock leveller repairs for sites in Truro and throughout Cornwall. Each visit is arranged in advance, with the price agreed in writing before anyone attends. Specialist service engineers working under our management carry out the work, and we remain your point of contact from the first call to the written report.
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.
