How we work on sites in Christchurch
We do not give a fixed price without seeing the site. A free survey in Christchurch lets us check the details that affect the job, and the written quote that follows is a fixed price for the agreed scope. We plan the work around your operation, arrange out-of-hours access if you need it and manage specialist installation engineers throughout. Handover includes testing, a demonstration and the paperwork you need for your records.
Before a repair visit in Christchurch, we ask three things: what the equipment is, what it is doing wrong and whether you can send photos. With that, we price the visit and confirm it in writing, and nobody attends until you agree. If the engineer finds further faults, they are quoted first and only fixed with your approval. Each visit ends with a written report of findings and work done.
- Control positions, isolators and any existing interlocks
- How often each door cycles during a typical shift
- Asbestos register and any other site hazard information
- Wall and steel structure for door, shelter and bumper fixings
- Door springs, cables and drums for wear or damage
- Control panels, push buttons and emergency stops
Which rules apply in England?
In England, Approved Document L (2021) sets a limiting U-value of 1.3 W/m²K for vehicle access and similar large doors in new and replacement work. That shapes door specification for sites in Christchurch, so we confirm the requirement for your project and check what applies at survey before recommending a door.

Questions
Is the site survey in Christchurch free?
Yes. For new installations, replacements, upgrades, conversions and complete bays, the site survey and written quote are free and come with no obligation. The survey lets us measure the openings, check the dock and structure, and understand how the bay is used, so the quote reflects your site. Repair and servicing visits are different: they are chargeable, with the price agreed before anyone attends.
Can you work outside our normal operating hours in Christchurch?
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 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 Christchurch, 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.
