What we fit in Leatherhead
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- 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.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
What this work can involve
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Leatherhead?
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
Most installations in Leatherhead can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Dock shelters and seals in Leatherhead: your questions

Which dock shelter suits our Leatherhead 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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Leatherhead?
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.
