How we work across County Antrim
How does an installation in County Antrim work? First, a free, no-obligation survey to measure up and understand the operation. Next, a fixed written quote. Then a programme agreed with you, so the work fits around deliveries, with out-of-hours slots if needed. The installation itself is carried out by specialist engineers who answer to us, and it finishes with testing, a walk-through for your staff and a handover pack.
Tell us what has gone wrong at your County Antrim site and, if you can, send photos of the fault and any labels on the equipment. We then confirm the visit price in writing, and nobody attends until you have agreed it. On site, the engineer diagnoses and repairs what was agreed; anything extra is quoted first, never added without your say-so. A written report follows, covering findings, work carried out and recommendations.
- Wheel guide positions and yard markings for reversing vehicles
- Traffic routes for vehicles and separation of pedestrians
- Drainage on recessed or sloping dock approaches
- Wind exposure at the dock, which affects door and shelter choice
- How drivers are prevented from pulling away too early
- Wall and steel structure for door, shelter and bumper fixings
Which rules apply in Northern Ireland?
Energy requirements for non-dwellings in Northern Ireland are set by Technical Booklet F2. For new or replacement loading bay doors in County Antrim, we confirm the figure that applies to your project and check what applies at survey, rather than working to rules from elsewhere in the UK.

Questions
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in County Antrim?
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 County Antrim 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 County Antrim, 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.
