How we work on sites in Wolverhampton
Your loading bay stays our responsibility from the survey to the handover. In Wolverhampton, the survey and written quote are free, and the quoted price is fixed for the agreed scope. Installation is carried out by specialist engineers working under our management, at times planned with you to protect your loading schedule. Out-of-hours work is available by arrangement. We finish by testing the equipment and handing over its documentation.
Our repair process in Wolverhampton has four parts. You describe the problem and send photos. We price the visit and confirm it in writing. The engineer attends, carries out the agreed work and quotes anything additional before doing it. You then receive a written report on the condition of the equipment and the work completed, which is useful for insurers, inspectors and your own planning.
- Whether planning, building control or a building warrant may be needed
- Condition of any existing leveller pit, kerb angles and pit drainage
- Bumper position and wear or damage on the dock face
- Wall and steel structure for door, shelter and bumper fixings
- Track alignment, rollers and wall fixings
- Vehicle restraint engagement and its signal sequence
Which rules apply in England?
Powered doors and dock equipment installed in England may carry the UKCA or the CE mark, and doors are covered by the product standard BS EN 13241. We hand over the relevant documentation for each item fitted in Wolverhampton. Planning and Building Regulations questions are never assumed either way: we check what applies at survey, so you know before work is booked.

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 Wolverhampton, 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.
Which building and safety rules apply to a site in Wolverhampton?
It depends on which UK nation the site is in. England and Wales use Building Regulations approval, Scotland uses building warrants and Northern Ireland uses building control approval from the council. Workplace safety is regulated by HSE in Great Britain and HSENI in Northern Ireland, and energy rules differ between nations. For your site in Wolverhampton, we check what applies at survey and design to it.
What is the difference between servicing and a statutory inspection?
Servicing keeps equipment working: cleaning, adjusting, lubricating and replacing worn parts. A statutory inspection or thorough examination is a separate check by a competent person, often arranged through your engineering insurer. Dock levellers are commonly inspected under PUWER at 12-month intervals, and lift tables may need LOLER thorough examination, depending on the equipment and how it is used. Your insurer or competent person will confirm what applies.
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.
