How we work on sites in Montrose
Here is what happens after you contact us about a site in Montrose. We arrange a free survey, measure up and send a fixed written quote. If you go ahead, we manage the whole job, including ordering, delivery and coordination with your site team. Specialist installation engineers working under our management do the fitting, at times built around your loading schedule, with out-of-hours work by arrangement. Testing and handover documents close the job.
Repair and service visits in Montrose are chargeable, and we agree the price with you in writing before anyone attends. Photos or a short video of the fault help us send the right engineer with the right parts. If the visit uncovers more work than expected, we quote it and wait for your approval before going ahead. After every visit you receive a written report on what was found and done.
- Access for deliveries, cranes or lifting equipment during installation
- Gaps around trailers where heated or chilled air escapes
- Traffic routes for vehicles and separation of pedestrians
- Asbestos register and any other site hazard information
- Lip hinge, lip extension and lip support operation
- Inflatable shelter fans, airbags and control function
What do the rules in Scotland mean for the work?
In Scotland, building work such as forming a new opening or a dock leveller pit may need a building warrant from the local authority before it starts. For sites in Montrose, external structures such as loading houses or canopies may also need planning permission from the council. We check what applies at survey and factor any approvals into the programme.

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 Montrose, 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.
How long does installation take at a site in Montrose?
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.
How often should equipment at our Montrose 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.
