How we work across Edinburgh and the Lothians
Keeping the dock running is usually the first concern, so we plan around it. After a free survey of your Edinburgh and the Lothians site and a written quote at a fixed price, we agree when each bay can be released and whether any work should happen out of hours. Specialist installation engineers working under our management then fit the equipment, and we test it and hand over the documentation before the bay goes back into use.
A chargeable visit, a price agreed in advance and a written report afterwards: that is our approach to loading bay repairs in Edinburgh and the Lothians. Photos of the fault, sent before the visit, help us diagnose it and bring suitable parts. Should the job turn out bigger than expected, the extra work is quoted and approved by you before it happens, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Regulations and approvals in Scotland
Energy standards for buildings in Scotland are set out in Section 6 of the Building Standards Technical Handbook.

Questions
Can you work outside our normal operating hours in Edinburgh and the Lothians?
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.
Is the site survey in Edinburgh and the Lothians 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.
Do you provide a written report after each visit?
Yes. After every repair or service visit to a site in Edinburgh and the Lothians, 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.
