How we work on sites in Royston
Any project involving loading bay equipment at a working site in Royston 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.
Servicing and repairs work slightly differently from installations. Visits to sites in Royston are chargeable, and the price is set out in writing before anyone comes out. To help us prepare, send photos of the equipment and the fault. The engineer carries out the agreed work, flags anything else that needs attention and quotes it before touching it. Afterwards, a written report records the condition of each item.
- Yard gradient and the slope of the approach to the dock
- Wheel guide positions and yard markings for reversing vehicles
- Dock height and the mix of trailers you load
- Forklift and pallet truck loads crossing the leveller platform
- Door panels, side seals and bottom rubbers
- Traffic light function and interlock operation
Which rules apply in England?
Lift tables and dock lifts in Royston 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
What details do you need from us to quote for loading bay work?
To get started, send the site address in Royston, the number of bays or openings, approximate sizes, and photos of the dock from inside and outside. Tell us what vehicles you load, what goods you handle and any temperature requirements. Drawings help on new builds. We then arrange the free survey and confirm the details before the written quote is issued.
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 Royston, 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.
Can you take over our existing loading bay maintenance arrangement?
Yes. Send us a list of the equipment at your Royston site, with makes, models and approximate ages if known, plus recent service or inspection reports. We will propose a planned maintenance schedule and price it per item per visit. The first visit records the condition of everything, so you have a clear starting point for future servicing.
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.
For a written price on loading bay work in Royston, request a quote and include photos of the bay if you can.
