Ageing bays at your Putney warehouse? Across Greater London, loading bays can be refurbished one at a time, with doors, levellers and shelters replaced in turn so the site keeps trading throughout the work.

Options that matter on site
- Impact protection. Trailers are stopped and centred so they do not damage the wall, shelter or door.
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Dock levellers. Hydraulic levellers chosen for your vehicle bed heights and handling equipment.
- One package. Every item at the bay is chosen to work with the others, not bought in isolation.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
- Designing and fitting a run of complete loading bays on a new-build distribution centre to the main contractor's programme.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Putney, 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
Most installations in Putney 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.

Questions from businesses in Putney
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Putney 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.
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.
How long does it take to install a loading bay in Putney?
A single bay with a prepared pit typically takes two to three days, including commissioning the interlocks and lights. New-build projects follow the main programme, and multi-bay refurbishments are phased to suit your operations.
