How we work on sites in Stornoway
We keep the process simple for sites in Stornoway. A free survey tells us what the dock needs; a fixed written quote tells you what it will cost and what is included. We then organise the installation, with specialist engineers under our management and a programme agreed around your shifts. Night and weekend work is available by arrangement. Before we leave, the new equipment is tested, demonstrated and handed over with its documentation.
Planned servicing and reactive repairs in Stornoway 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.
- Condition of any existing leveller pit, kerb angles and pit drainage
- Access for deliveries, cranes or lifting equipment during installation
- Scope to convert ground-level doors into docks or add lift tables
- Headroom above the opening and which track type will suit it
- Pit frame welds, platform cracks and structural damage
- Vehicle restraint engagement and its signal sequence
Which rules apply in Scotland?
Energy standards for buildings in Scotland are set out in Section 6 of the Building Standards Technical Handbook. For new or replacement loading bay doors in Stornoway, we confirm the figure that applies to your project and check what applies at survey, rather than relying on rules written for elsewhere in the UK.
We cover Stornoway by arrangement. The survey and written quote stay free: for remote and island sites we often start from your photos, drawings and a video call, then confirm measurements on site. Travel and any accommodation needed for the installation are shown as separate lines in the fixed quote.

Questions
Will you deal with building control and planning for a project in Stornoway?
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 you work outside our normal operating hours in Stornoway?
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.
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 Stornoway. 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.
