How we work on sites in Gravesend
It starts with a free site survey in Gravesend, where we measure the openings, check the dock and talk through how the bay is used. You then receive a fixed written quote. Once you accept, we manage the job: specialist installation engineers carry out the work under our management, planned around your deliveries, and out-of-hours working can be arranged. At handover we test everything with you and leave the documentation.
Planned servicing and reactive repairs in Gravesend are both chargeable. We agree the price of each visit in writing beforehand, and we never extend the scope without asking. Photos taken by your team help us plan the work and the parts. The engineer records the condition of doors, levellers, shelters and safety equipment as they go, and you receive that as a written report after the visit.
- Whether planning, building control or a building warrant may be needed
- Forklift and pallet truck loads crossing the leveller platform
- Bumper position and wear or damage on the dock face
- Scope to convert ground-level doors into docks or add lift tables
- Track alignment, rollers and wall fixings
- Inflatable shelter fans, airbags and control function
Which rules apply in England?
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 Gravesend, so we confirm the requirement for your project and check what applies at survey before recommending a door.

Questions
Do you cover Gravesend for loading bay work?
Yes. We take on loading bay work for businesses in Gravesend and across Kent. We survey the site, provide a fixed written quote and manage the installation, with specialist installation engineers working under our management. Visits are arranged in advance at a time that suits your operation, and the same single contact stays with the job through to handover.
How long does installation take at a site in Gravesend?
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.
Can you take over our existing loading bay maintenance arrangement?
Yes. Send us a list of the equipment at your Gravesend 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.
