How we work on sites in Derry/Londonderry
We never ask you to commit before you have a fixed price. A free survey at your Derry/Londonderry site comes first, followed by a written quote. When the order goes ahead, we plan the installation around your operation, book any out-of-hours working you need and manage the specialist installation engineers on site. The job ends with a full test, a run-through for the people who will use the equipment and a set of handover documents.
Tell us what has gone wrong at your Derry/Londonderry 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.
- Wind exposure at the dock, which affects door and shelter choice
- Working hours, shift patterns and windows for out-of-hours work
- Condition of any existing leveller pit, kerb angles and pit drainage
- Power supply at each bay, including three-phase availability
- Anti-fall device on upward-opening doors
- Safety edges, photocells and light curtains
Which rules apply in Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland has its own system. Structural alterations at a site in Derry/Londonderry, such as a new opening or dock pit, may need building control approval from the council, and external structures such as loading houses or canopies can need planning permission through the council planning service. We check what applies at survey.

Questions
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 Derry/Londonderry, 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.
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in Derry/Londonderry?
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.
How often should equipment at our Derry/Londonderry 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.
