What we fit in Islington
- Sectional doors. Insulated sectional doors with vision panels and electric operation.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Interlocks. Linked controls stop the door closing on the leveller or the leveller deploying too early.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
Typical scopes of work
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Islington?
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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about complete loading bays
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Islington?
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 Islington site.
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.
Can a loading bay be added to our Islington 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.
