Our Process

Premier Pits consultancy for planning a bespoke vehicle maintenance pit

Concept

We’ll help you choose the right type of pit and explain what modifications and accessories you’ll need for working on different vehicles.

Premier Pits design engineers creating a bespoke vehicle pit design

Design

Our skilled and experienced design engineers use the latest CAD technology to support architects, structural engineers, and contractors. While all pits follow a standard basic format, each can be customised to meet individual customer needs, offering an almost endless range of combinations. Bespoke designs for piled sites can also be developed with our Structural Engineer.

Manufacture

Premier Pits are built from high-quality mild steel, MIG-welded to create a completely watertight structure. When choosing a pit manufacturer, it’s essential to ensure the product meets the highest manufacturing standards. With Premier Pits, you can buy with confidence—every unit is fully compliant with BS EN 1090, UKCA & CE, and ISO 45001:2018 SSIP.

Installation

Once delivered to site, the pits are installed by our dedicated installation teams, all fully employed by Premier Pits - not subcontractors. This ensures peace of mind, as we guarantee the work throughout the entire process, not just the manufacture of the pit.

Commissioning

Before handover, we make sure the pit and surrounding area are clean and tidy, with all waste materials removed. For new build projects, we revisit the site just before the building is handed over to the client, ensuring everything is in perfect order.

Over time, the needs of an existing pit may evolve. Premier Pits provides modification solutions such as pit extensions, tunnel additions, and the installation of sumps for equipment like brake testers

We can also carry out modifications, such as replacing airlines and upgrading lighting.
