How we work across Northamptonshire
We do not give a fixed price without seeing the site. A free survey in Northamptonshire lets us check the details that affect the job, and the written quote that follows is a fixed price for the agreed scope. We plan the work around your operation, arrange out-of-hours access if you need it and manage specialist installation engineers throughout. Handover includes testing, a demonstration and the paperwork you need for your records.
When something stops working at a loading bay in Northamptonshire, contact us with a description and, ideally, photos. We will confirm the cost of the visit in writing before booking anyone. If the engineer finds the problem goes further than expected, you receive a quote for the additional work and decide whether to proceed. Every visit is followed by a written report you can keep with your maintenance records.

What do the rules in England mean for the work?
Lift tables and dock lifts in Northamptonshire 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 Northamptonshire, 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.
How long does installation take at a site in Northamptonshire?
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.
What information helps before a repair visit?
Photos or a short video of the fault are the most useful thing you can send, along with the make and model from the data plate, a description of what happens when the equipment is operated and any error codes. For a site in Northamptonshire, also tell us about access, parking and site rules. With that, we can price the visit and bring the likely parts.
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.
