Quick answer
One team, one survey, one set of dimensions: our complete loading bay service in Barnet avoids the gaps that appear when doors, levellers and shelters come from different suppliers working to different drawings.

Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Barnet, 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
Sites in and around Barnet 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.

Questions from businesses in Barnet
Do you work on new-build loading bays around Greater London?
Yes. We supply pit, opening and embedded steel details to your design team and groundworks contractor early, then install and commission doors, levellers, shelters and accessories to the main contractor's programme.
Can a loading bay be added to our Barnet unit without a pit?
Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.
Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Greater London?
Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Greater London, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
