Options that matter on site
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Greenwich?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Greenwich vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Dock shelters and seals in Greenwich: your questions
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Greenwich?
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.
How much does a dock shelter cost in Greenwich?
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 Greenwich, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Can a dock shelter in Greenwich 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.
