Frequently asked questions

Can loading bay repairs in Lichfield 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.

Should we repair or replace our leveller in Lichfield?

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.

Is our dock leveller in Lichfield 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.
