How we work on sites in Edinburgh
Any project involving loading bay equipment at a working site in Edinburgh takes planning. We survey free of charge, quote a fixed price in writing, and then agree a programme that keeps as much of the dock running as possible. Specialist installation engineers carry out the work under our management, out of hours if that suits you better. On completion we test each item, show your team how it operates and leave the documentation with you.
Our repair process in Edinburgh has four parts. You describe the problem and send photos. We price the visit and confirm it in writing. The engineer attends, carries out the agreed work and quotes anything additional before doing it. You then receive a written report on the condition of the equipment and the work completed, which is useful for insurers, inspectors and your own planning.
- Age and condition of the equipment already in place
- How often each door cycles during a typical shift
- Asbestos register and any other site hazard information
- Traffic routes for vehicles and separation of pedestrians
- Door panels, side seals and bottom rubbers
- Wiring, isolators and motor performance under load
Which rules apply in Scotland?
Doors and dock equipment installed in Scotland may carry the UKCA or the CE mark, and we pass on the documentation for everything fitted in Edinburgh. Because building warrant and planning questions can affect the programme, we check what applies at survey and raise any approvals early rather than assuming none are needed.

Questions
Can you work outside our normal operating hours in Edinburgh?
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.
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in Edinburgh?
We check at survey whether the work is likely to need approval. Forming a new opening or dock pit may need Building Regulations approval, a building warrant or building control approval, depending on the nation, and external structures such as loading houses can need planning permission. Where approval is needed, we explain what is involved, work with your designer or agent, and build it into the programme.
Do you cover Edinburgh and the Lothians for dock leveller repairs?
Yes. We take on dock leveller repairs for sites in Edinburgh and throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. Each visit is arranged in advance, with the price agreed in writing before anyone attends. Specialist service engineers working under our management carry out the work, and we remain your point of contact from the first call to the written report.
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.
