How we work on sites in Stockton-on-Tees
Any project involving loading bay equipment at a working site in Stockton-on-Tees takes planning. We survey free of charge, quote a fixed price in writing, and then agree a programme that keeps as much of the dock running as possible. Specialist installation engineers carry out the work under our management, out of hours if that suits you better. On completion we test each item, show your team how it operates and leave the documentation with you.
Planned servicing and reactive repairs in Stockton-on-Tees are both chargeable. We agree the price of each visit in writing beforehand, and we never extend the scope without asking. Photos taken by your team help us plan the work and the parts. The engineer records the condition of doors, levellers, shelters and safety equipment as they go, and you receive that as a written report after the visit.
- Access for deliveries, cranes or lifting equipment during installation
- Lighting inside trailers and at the dock face
- Wind exposure at the dock, which affects door and shelter choice
- Bumper position and wear or damage on the dock face
- Pit frame welds, platform cracks and structural damage
- Hydraulic oil level, hoses and cylinders for leaks
Regulations and approvals in England
Lift tables and dock lifts in Stockton-on-Tees 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
Which building and safety rules apply to a site in Stockton-on-Tees?
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 Stockton-on-Tees, we check what applies at survey and design to it.
Do you remove and dispose of the old equipment?
Yes, where it is part of the scope. When we replace doors, levellers, shelters or seals at a site in Stockton-on-Tees, removal and disposal of the old equipment can be included and is itemised in the quote, so it is clear what is covered. If anything should be kept, such as a frame or motor that is still serviceable, we agree that at survey.
What information helps before a repair visit?
Photos or a short video of the fault are the most useful thing you can send, along with the make and model from the data plate, a description of what happens when the equipment is operated and any error codes. For a site in Stockton-on-Tees, also tell us about access, parking and site rules. With that, we can price the visit and bring the likely parts.
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.
