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

What to specify
- Sectional doors. Well-sealed, insulated dock doors that open fully and run clear of the leveller.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.
- Phased refurbishment. We work through the bays in turn, leaving the rest in use.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and 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
- 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.
- 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 Prestwich?
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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Prestwich
How much does a complete loading bay cost in Prestwich?
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 Prestwich site.
Can you refurbish our loading bays in Prestwich 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.
What safety systems should our Prestwich 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.
