How we work on sites in Gloucester
Keeping the dock running is usually the first concern, so we plan around it. After a free survey of your Gloucester 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.
We do not turn up and then name a price. Every repair or service visit in Gloucester is agreed in writing first, including what the charge covers. Sending photos of the damage, error codes or leaks helps us diagnose the problem before travelling and bring the likely parts. Any additional work found on the day is quoted for your approval before it starts. You then get a written report for your records.
- Scope to convert ground-level doors into docks or add lift tables

- Door springs, cables and drums for wear or damage
- Inflatable shelter fans, airbags and control function
Regulations and approvals in England
Sites in Gloucester fall under the rules for England. Structural changes such as forming a new opening or a dock leveller pit may need Building Regulations approval, and external structures such as loading houses, canopies or new dock approaches can need planning permission from the local planning authority. We check what applies at survey and build any approvals into the plan.

Questions
What warranty comes with new loading bay equipment?
New equipment comes with the manufacturer's warranty, which varies by product. Our workmanship terms are set out in writing in the quote for your Gloucester site, so you can see what is covered before you commit. Check the warranty terms for any servicing conditions, and we can quote for planned maintenance once the installation is complete.
How long does installation take at a site in Gloucester?
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.
Do you provide a written report after each visit?
Yes. After every repair or service visit to a site in Gloucester, 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.
