How we work on sites in Castlereagh
Our part of the job in Castlereagh is to survey, quote and manage; the fitting itself is done by specialist installation engineers working under our management. The survey and the written quote are free. Once the fixed price is accepted, we agree dates that work around your deliveries and shifts, including out-of-hours working where needed. Every installation is tested before handover, and you receive the documentation for each item fitted.
For loading bay repairs at sites in Castlereagh, 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.

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 Castlereagh, 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
Which building and safety rules apply to a site in Castlereagh?
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 Castlereagh, we check what applies at survey and design to it.
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 Castlereagh 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 often should equipment at our Castlereagh site be serviced?
It depends on how hard the equipment works and on the manufacturer's recommendations. A multi-shift dock with frequent trailer movements needs more attention than a door that opens a few times a day. We suggest a schedule after looking at the equipment and how it is used, and we can line visits up with your insurance inspections where that helps.
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.
