How we work on sites in Aston
It starts with a free site survey in Aston, where we measure the openings, check the dock and talk through how the bay is used. You then receive a fixed written quote. Once you accept, we manage the job: specialist installation engineers carry out the work under our management, planned around your deliveries, and out-of-hours working can be arranged. At handover we test everything with you and leave the documentation.
When something stops working at a loading bay in Aston, contact us with a description and, ideally, photos. We will confirm the cost of the visit in writing before booking anyone. If the engineer finds the problem goes further than expected, you receive a quote for the additional work and decide whether to proceed. Every visit is followed by a written report you can keep with your maintenance records.
- Headroom above the opening and which track type will suit it
- Drainage on recessed or sloping dock approaches
- Condition of any existing leveller pit, kerb angles and pit drainage
- Dock height and the mix of trailers you load
- Lip hinge, lip extension and lip support operation
- Wiring, isolators and motor performance under load
What do the rules in England mean for the work?
Sites in Aston fall under the rules for England. Structural changes such as forming a new opening or a dock leveller pit may need Building Regulations approval, and external structures such as loading houses, canopies or new dock approaches can need planning permission from the local planning authority. We check what applies at survey and build any approvals into the plan.

Questions
Do you remove and dispose of the old equipment?
Yes, where it is part of the scope. When we replace doors, levellers, shelters or seals at a site in Aston, removal and disposal of the old equipment can be included and is itemised in the quote, so it is clear what is covered. If anything should be kept, such as a frame or motor that is still serviceable, we agree that at survey.
Can you work alongside our main contractor on a new build in Aston?
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.
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 Aston, 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.
