Options that matter on site
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Harrow?
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
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
How much does a dock shelter cost in Harrow?
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 Harrow, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Harrow?
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Harrow warehouse?
Retractable shelters suit most mixed fleets. Inflatable shelters give a tighter seal for chilled, frozen or sensitive goods. Foam seals suit uniform fleets. We recommend one after recording your vehicles and dock on survey.
