How we work on sites in Newtownabbey
Before anything is ordered, we visit your site in Newtownabbey for a free survey and then send a written quote with a fixed price. From that point we manage the installation, coordinating delivery, access and any other trades. Fitting is done by specialist installation engineers engaged and managed by us, at times that suit your operation, including out of hours where agreed. You get a tested installation, a demonstration for your team and the manufacturer documentation.
Our repair process in Newtownabbey has four parts. You describe the problem and send photos. We price the visit and confirm it in writing. The engineer attends, carries out the agreed work and quotes anything additional before doing it. You then receive a written report on the condition of the equipment and the work completed, which is useful for insurers, inspectors and your own planning.

Questions
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 Newtownabbey 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.
How long does installation take at a site in Newtownabbey?
It depends on the equipment, the number of bays, the condition of the dock and whether any building or electrical work is needed. We agree a programme with you after the survey, setting out which bays are out of use and when. Larger jobs are usually phased so that part of the dock stays open, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
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 Newtownabbey 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.
