Town: Putney
Postcode district: SW15
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.

Jobs we can carry out

Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Putney?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Do you repair dock shelters in Putney?

Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.

Which dock shelter suits our Putney 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.
