What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Richmond, 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.

Dock leveller and loading bay repairs in Richmond: your questions
How soon can you repair a leveller at our Richmond site?
We book repair visits as soon as we can and confirm the expected date when you call. We do not promise fixed response times. Photos and the leveller make help us bring likely parts.
Can you repair our dock leveller in Richmond if you did not install it?
Yes. We repair most makes of hydraulic and mechanical leveller. If original parts are no longer made, we look for compatible alternatives or explain why replacement into the existing pit may be better.

Repair is usually the first step. If the platform is cracked, the pit edges are broken or repairs are frequent, we price a replacement into the existing pit alongside the repair so you can compare.
