Options that matter on site
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Wokingham, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Can a dock shelter in Wokingham be fitted with our existing leveller?
Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.
How much does a dock shelter cost in Wokingham?
Our guide prices are £2,195 to £5,495 ex VAT for a retractable dock shelter and £6,495 to £11,995 for an inflatable one, supplied and fitted. Once we have surveyed your bays in Wokingham, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Wokingham?
Yes. Replacement curtains are made to fit the existing frame on most retractable shelters, which is much cheaper than a new shelter. We measure and record the frame on the first visit.
