Questions from businesses in County Down

Can loading bay repairs in County Down be done out of hours?

Yes. Repairs take a bay out of use, so we can work early, late or at weekends where needed, with any extra cost shown in the quote before the visit is booked.

Do you repair dock shelters across Northern Ireland?

Yes. We replace torn curtains, repair bent frames and scissor arms, fix inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew worn bumpers across Northern Ireland, always quoting a fixed price before ordering made-to-measure parts.

Is our dock leveller in County Down safe to use?

If it drifts, drops, leaks significantly, has cracked hinges or damaged toe guards, or will not return to stored position, stop using it and isolate it until it has been inspected and repaired.
