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.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Notting Hill, 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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Dock shelters and seals in Notting Hill: your questions
How long does dock shelter installation take in Notting Hill?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Greater London?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Greater London, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Notting Hill?
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.
