How we work on sites in Galashiels
Here is what happens after you contact us about a site in Galashiels. We arrange a free survey, measure up and send a fixed written quote. If you go ahead, we manage the whole job, including ordering, delivery and coordination with your site team. Specialist installation engineers working under our management do the fitting, at times built around your loading schedule, with out-of-hours work by arrangement. Testing and handover documents close the job.
Servicing and repairs work slightly differently from installations. Visits to sites in Galashiels are chargeable, and the price is set out in writing before anyone comes out. To help us prepare, send photos of the equipment and the fault. The engineer carries out the agreed work, flags anything else that needs attention and quotes it before touching it. Afterwards, a written report records the condition of each item.
- Lighting inside trailers and at the dock face
- Yard gradient and the slope of the approach to the dock
- Wind exposure at the dock, which affects door and shelter choice
- Forklift and pallet truck loads crossing the leveller platform
- Wiring, isolators and motor performance under load
- Anti-fall device on upward-opening doors
Which rules apply in Scotland?
In Scotland, building work such as forming a new opening or a dock leveller pit may need a building warrant from the local authority before it starts. For sites in Galashiels, external structures such as loading houses or canopies may also need planning permission from the council. We check what applies at survey and factor any approvals into the programme.

Questions
What details do you need from us to quote for loading bay work?
To get started, send the site address in Galashiels, the number of bays or openings, approximate sizes, and photos of the dock from inside and outside. Tell us what vehicles you load, what goods you handle and any temperature requirements. Drawings help on new builds. We then arrange the free survey and confirm the details before the written quote is issued.
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 Galashiels 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.
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 Galashiels. 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.
Tell us what is happening at your Galashiels dock, what equipment is there and when it is used, and we will suggest the right next step.
