What we fit in Hampton

Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
Dock levellers. Swing-lip or telescopic-lip levellers sized to your fleet.

Jobs we can carry out

Adding a loading house to a unit where the warehouse floor cannot be cut for a leveller pit.
Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
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 Hampton, 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Hampton

Can a loading bay be added to our Hampton 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.

What safety systems should our Hampton loading bays have?

That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.

How much does a complete loading bay cost in Hampton?

Complete loading bays are priced on survey, typically £14,995 to £39,995 ex VAT per bay depending on the leveller, shelter, door and safety systems. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your Hampton site.
