How we work on sites in Larkhall
Keeping the dock running is usually the first concern, so we plan around it. After a free survey of your Larkhall site and a written quote at a fixed price, we agree when each bay can be released and whether any work should happen out of hours. Specialist installation engineers working under our management then fit the equipment, and we test it and hand over the documentation before the bay goes back into use.
Tell us what has gone wrong at your Larkhall site and, if you can, send photos of the fault and any labels on the equipment. We then confirm the visit price in writing, and nobody attends until you have agreed it. On site, the engineer diagnoses and repairs what was agreed; anything extra is quoted first, never added without your say-so. A written report follows, covering findings, work carried out and recommendations.
- Whether planning, building control or a building warrant may be needed
- Working hours, shift patterns and windows for out-of-hours work
- Asbestos register and any other site hazard information
- Wind exposure at the dock, which affects door and shelter choice
- Lip hinge, lip extension and lip support operation
- Door panels, side seals and bottom rubbers
Planning, building control and safety law in Scotland
HSE is the workplace safety regulator in Scotland. At a loading bay in Larkhall, doors need to satisfy regulation 18 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, dock equipment must be kept safe under PUWER, and drivers must be prevented from pulling away too early. We check what applies at survey.

Questions
Can you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Larkhall?
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.
How long does installation take at a site in Larkhall?
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 repair all makes of loading bay equipment?
We work on common makes and types of doors, dock levellers, shelters, seals and restraints. Parts availability varies, particularly for older or discontinued equipment, so it helps to send the make, model and photos of any data plates from your site in Larkhall. If original parts are not available, we tell you and price the alternatives, including replacement where that makes more sense.
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.
