How we work across Northumberland
We never ask you to commit before you have a fixed price. A free survey at your Northumberland 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.
Every visit to a site in Northumberland begins with an agreed price. The charge is confirmed in writing before an engineer attends, so the cost is clear from the outset. Photos of the fault, the data plate and the surrounding area make diagnosis easier. Extra work found during the visit is priced and approved before it is done. A written report then sets out what was found, what was fixed and what still needs attention.
- Access for deliveries, cranes or lifting equipment during installation
- Gaps around trailers where heated or chilled air escapes
- Whether planning, building control or a building warrant may be needed
- Lighting inside trailers and at the dock face
- Headroom above the opening and which track type will suit it
- Wheel guide positions and yard markings for reversing vehicles
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 Northumberland, so we confirm the requirement for your project and check what applies at survey before recommending a door.

Questions
Can you work outside our normal operating hours in Northumberland?
Yes, by arrangement. Evening, night and weekend working can be planned so the installation causes as little disruption as possible to your loading schedule. Out-of-hours work can affect the price, so mention it at the survey and we will include it in the written quote. The agreed times are confirmed in the programme before the job starts.
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in Northumberland?
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.
Can repairs be carried out outside our working hours?
Yes, by arrangement. Evening, night or weekend visits can be booked so that repairs and servicing at your Northumberland site cause less disruption to loading. Out-of-hours attendance usually affects the price, so we include it when we agree the visit charge in writing. Tell us your shift pattern and the times when the dock is quietest.
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.
