How we work on sites in Oswestry
If you are planning loading bay equipment for a site in Oswestry, expect four stages. A free survey and fixed written quote come first. We then agree a programme with you, including any out-of-hours work. Specialist installation engineers carry out the installation under our management, with us as your single point of contact. Finally, the equipment is tested, your staff are shown how it works and everything is handed over with its documentation.
Servicing and repairs work slightly differently from installations. Visits to sites in Oswestry 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.

- Wall and steel structure for door, shelter and bumper fixings
- Drainage on recessed or sloping dock approaches
- Temperature requirements for chilled, frozen or ambient goods
- Manual override and emergency operation on powered doors
- Safety edges, photocells and light curtains
Planning, building control and safety law in England
Lift tables and dock lifts in Oswestry 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
Is the site survey in Oswestry free?
Yes. For new installations, replacements, upgrades, conversions and complete bays, the site survey and written quote are free and come with no obligation. The survey lets us measure the openings, check the dock and structure, and understand how the bay is used, so the quote reflects your site. Repair and servicing visits are different: they are chargeable, with the price agreed before anyone attends.
Can you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Oswestry?
Yes. For new warehouses and fit-outs, we can supply and install the dock package as part of a wider project, working to the main contractor's programme, site rules and permits. We will need drawings, dock levels and the programme, and we coordinate pit details, power supplies and door openings with the relevant trades before installation begins.
Can you take over our existing loading bay maintenance arrangement?
Yes. Send us a list of the equipment at your Oswestry site, with makes, models and approximate ages if known, plus recent service or inspection reports. We will propose a planned maintenance schedule and price it per item per visit. The first visit records the condition of everything, so you have a clear starting point for future servicing.
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.
