How we work on sites in Ross-on-Wye
Our part of the job in Ross-on-Wye is to survey, quote and manage; the fitting itself is done by specialist installation engineers working under our management. The survey and the written quote are free. Once the fixed price is accepted, we agree dates that work around your deliveries and shifts, including out-of-hours working where needed. Every installation is tested before handover, and you receive the documentation for each item fitted.
For loading bay repairs in Ross-on-Wye, the visit is chargeable and priced up front. You will know the cost in writing before an engineer is booked. Photos of the problem, the make and model if known, and a description of what happens when the equipment is operated all help us prepare. If further work is needed, we quote it separately before doing it, and a written report closes every visit.

What do the rules in England mean for the work?
In England, Approved Document L (2021) sets a limiting U-value of 1.3 W/m²K for vehicle access and similar large doors in new and replacement work. That shapes door specification for sites in Ross-on-Wye, so we confirm the requirement for your project and check what applies at survey before recommending a door.

Questions
Which building and safety rules apply to a site in Ross-on-Wye?
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 Ross-on-Wye, we check what applies at survey and design to it.
Can you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Ross-on-Wye?
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.
