How we work on sites in Lerwick
Our part of the job in Lerwick is to survey, quote and manage; the fitting itself is done by specialist installation engineers working under our management. The survey and the written quote are free. Once the fixed price is accepted, we agree dates that work around your deliveries and shifts, including out-of-hours working where needed. Every installation is tested before handover, and you receive the documentation for each item fitted.
Planned servicing and reactive repairs in Lerwick 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.

What do the rules in Scotland mean for the work?
Lift tables at Scottish sites are lifting equipment under LOLER, which means thorough examination at least every 12 months, or every 6 months if people are lifted, depending on the equipment and its use. For a site in Lerwick, your insurer or competent person will confirm the interval, and we check what applies at survey.
Sites in and around Lerwick are covered by arrangement. There is no charge for the survey or the written quote, and any travel, ferry crossings or overnight stays needed for the installation itself are itemised in the quote, so you see the full price before agreeing.

Questions
What warranty comes with new loading bay equipment?
New equipment comes with the manufacturer's warranty, which varies by product. Our workmanship terms are set out in writing in the quote for your Lerwick site, so you can see what is covered before you commit. Check the warranty terms for any servicing conditions, and we can quote for planned maintenance once the installation is complete.
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in Lerwick?
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.
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 Lerwick, 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.
