What we fit in Ilford
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
What this work can involve
- Converting a yard roller shutter opening into a full loading bay with a loading house, leveller and shelter.
- Refurbishing bays one at a time with new sectional doors, levellers and inflatable shelters so loading continues.
- Repairing damaged pit edges and fitting new telescopic levellers, shelters and bumpers at a manufacturing site.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Ilford?
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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Ilford
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Ilford?
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 Ilford site.
What safety systems should our Ilford 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.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Ilford without closing the site?
Yes. Bays can be refurbished one at a time so the others stay in use, and work can be done out of hours where needed. Each bay is commissioned before we move on to the next.
