How we work across Greater London

Before anything is ordered, we visit your site in Greater London for a free survey and then send a written quote with a fixed price. From that point we manage the installation, coordinating delivery, access and any other trades. Fitting is done by specialist installation engineers engaged and managed by us, at times that suit your operation, including out of hours where agreed. You get a tested installation, a demonstration for your team and the manufacturer documentation.

Before a repair visit in Greater London, 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.

What do the rules in England mean for the work?

Powered doors and dock equipment installed in England may carry the UKCA or the CE mark, and doors are covered by the product standard BS EN 13241. We hand over the relevant documentation for each item fitted in Greater London. Planning and Building Regulations questions are never assumed either way: we check what applies at survey, so you know before work is booked.

Questions

Which building and safety rules apply to a site in Greater London?

It depends on which UK nation the site is in. England and Wales use Building Regulations approval, Scotland uses building warrants and Northern Ireland uses building control approval from the council. Workplace safety is regulated by HSE in Great Britain and HSENI in Northern Ireland, and energy rules differ between nations. For your site in Greater London, we check what applies at survey and design to it.

Can you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Greater London?

Yes. For new warehouses and fit-outs, we can supply and install the dock package as part of a wider project, working to the main contractor's programme, site rules and permits. We will need drawings, dock levels and the programme, and we coordinate pit details, power supplies and door openings with the relevant trades before installation begins.

What is the difference between servicing and a statutory inspection?

Servicing keeps equipment working: cleaning, adjusting, lubricating and replacing worn parts. A statutory inspection or thorough examination is a separate check by a competent person, often arranged through your engineering insurer. Dock levellers are commonly inspected under PUWER at 12-month intervals, and lift tables may need LOLER thorough examination, depending on the equipment and how it is used. Your insurer or competent person will confirm what applies.

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.
