How we look after doors in Waltham Abbey
- Shelter repairs. Curtains, frames, arms and inflatable shelter blowers repaired.
- Bumpers and guides. Worn bumpers and damaged wheel guides replaced.
- Lips and hinges. Structural damage to lips and hinges repaired so the platform supports loads safely.
- Safety devices. Toe guards, velocity fuses, struts and emergency stops restored.

What this work can involve
- Replacing a leaking hydraulic cylinder on a dock leveller that drifts down under load.
- Replacing a failed hydraulic power pack on a leveller whose platform no longer rises from its stored position.
- Clearing debris from a leveller pit and freeing the hinges so the platform returns level to its stored position.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Waltham Abbey, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
