How we work on sites in Borehamwood
We never ask you to commit before you have a fixed price. A free survey at your Borehamwood site comes first, followed by a written quote. When the order goes ahead, we plan the installation around your operation, book any out-of-hours working you need and manage the specialist installation engineers on site. The job ends with a full test, a run-through for the people who will use the equipment and a set of handover documents.
For loading bay repairs in Borehamwood, 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?
Lift tables and dock lifts in Borehamwood may fall under LOLER, with thorough examination at least every 12 months, or every 6 months where people are lifted. It depends on the equipment and how it is used, and your insurer or competent person will confirm. Dock levellers are usually treated as work equipment under PUWER. We check what applies at survey.

Questions
Do you remove and dispose of the old equipment?
Yes, where it is part of the scope. When we replace doors, levellers, shelters or seals at a site in Borehamwood, removal and disposal of the old equipment can be included and is itemised in the quote, so it is clear what is covered. If anything should be kept, such as a frame or motor that is still serviceable, we agree that at survey.
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in Borehamwood?
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.
What happens if the engineer finds the equipment unsafe?
If equipment is found to be unsafe, the engineer will tell you straight away and recommend that it is isolated and taken out of use until it is repaired. That is recorded in the written report. We then quote the repair so you can decide how to proceed. Keeping an unsafe door or leveller in service puts people at risk, so we will always raise it.
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.
