How we work across Devon
How does an installation in Devon work? First, a free, no-obligation survey to measure up and understand the operation. Next, a fixed written quote. Then a programme agreed with you, so the work fits around deliveries, with out-of-hours slots if needed. The installation itself is carried out by specialist engineers who answer to us, and it finishes with testing, a walk-through for your staff and a handover pack.
Every visit to a site in Devon begins with an agreed price. The charge is confirmed in writing before an engineer attends, so the cost is clear from the outset. Photos of the fault, the data plate and the surrounding area make diagnosis easier. Extra work found during the visit is priced and approved before it is done. A written report then sets out what was found, what was fixed and what still needs attention.
- Lighting inside trailers and at the dock face
- How often each door cycles during a typical shift
- Escape routes and pedestrian doors close to the bay
- Traffic routes for vehicles and separation of pedestrians
- Asbestos register and any other site hazard information
- Gaps around trailers where heated or chilled air escapes
Which rules apply in England?
Workplace safety in England is regulated by HSE. For a loading bay in Devon, 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
How long does installation take at a site in Devon?
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 you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Devon?
Yes. For new warehouses and fit-outs, we can supply and install the dock package as part of a wider project, working to the main contractor's programme, site rules and permits. We will need drawings, dock levels and the programme, and we coordinate pit details, power supplies and door openings with the relevant trades before installation begins.
Do you provide a written report after each visit?
Yes. After every repair or service visit to a site in Devon, you receive a written report setting out what was checked, what was found, what work was carried out and anything that still needs attention, with a quote for further work where needed. The report is useful for your maintenance records and for discussions with your insurer or inspector.
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.
