How we work on sites in Derby
Step one is a survey at your site in Derby, which costs nothing and carries no obligation. Step two is a written quote with a fixed price and a clear scope. Step three is installation, scheduled around your operation and carried out by specialist installation engineers working under our management, including evenings or weekends if agreed. Step four is handover, when the equipment is tested in front of you and the paperwork is passed over.
Tell us what has gone wrong at your Derby 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.
- Control positions, isolators and any existing interlocks
- Power supply at each bay, including three-phase availability
- Traffic routes for vehicles and separation of pedestrians
- How drivers are prevented from pulling away too early
- Vehicle restraint engagement and its signal sequence
- Lip hinge, lip extension and lip support operation
Regulations and approvals in England

For a loading bay in Derby, that means doors meeting regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, equipment maintained under PUWER and suitable safeguards against vehicles driving away too early. We check what applies at survey and design the bay accordingly.

Questions
Do you cover Derby for loading bay work?
Yes. We take on loading bay work for businesses in Derby and across Derbyshire. We survey the site, provide a fixed written quote and manage the installation, with specialist installation engineers working under our management. Visits are arranged in advance at a time that suits your operation, and the same single contact stays with the job through to handover.
Can you work outside our normal operating hours in Derby?
Yes, by arrangement. Evening, night and weekend working can be planned so the installation causes as little disruption as possible to your loading schedule. Out-of-hours work can affect the price, so mention it at the survey and we will include it in the written quote. The agreed times are confirmed in the programme before the job starts.
What is the difference between servicing and a statutory inspection?
Servicing keeps equipment working: cleaning, adjusting, lubricating and replacing worn parts. A statutory inspection or thorough examination is a separate check by a competent person, often arranged through your engineering insurer. Dock levellers are commonly inspected under PUWER at 12-month intervals, and lift tables may need LOLER thorough examination, depending on the equipment and how it is used. Your insurer or competent person will confirm what applies.
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.
