Designing and Supplying Mezzanine Floors
We aim to make designing a custom mezzanine floor as easy and stress-free as possible.
Our established process allows us to provide a detail-oriented yet friendly service.
1. Consultation and Design
The process will start with a thorough consultation to understand your needs and space requirements. We will also complete a detailed site survey and measure the space where you would like the floor installed. With this information, we will create a detailed design, which includes specifications on how the proposed ideas meet your needs.
2. Material Selection
We work with selected trusted suppliers to provide high-quality materials that we know are durable and compliant with building regulations. Options include steel for the structure and a variety of decking materials such as plywood, steel grating, or composite boards. At this stage, we will discuss our recommendations and ask for your thoughts and opinions to incorporate into our designs.
3. Regulatory Compliance
Throughout the design process, our team will ensure that every part of the structure will meet building regulations and health and safety standards. This will include load-bearing calculations, fire safety measures, and accessibility requirements.

Mezzanine Floor Installation
Compared to traditional extension and building methods, the installation of a mezzanine floor is quick and can often be completed with minimal disruption to your operations, meaning that you can continue working while we install your bespoke solution.
1. Preparation
In preparation for the floor to be installed, we will clear the area underneath and, where necessary, reinforce the existing structure.
2. Structural Installation
The first step of building the mezzanine floor is to fit the steel framework. Once fitted, we will install the decking. Our teams ensure every part of their work is precise, as this is key to ensure stability and safety.
3. Finishing Touches
Handrails, staircases, and safety barriers are installed to meet safety standards and enhance usability. Electrical wiring, lighting, and other utilities can also be integrated at this stage.
4. Inspection and Handover
We will complete a final inspection to ensure the mezzanine floor meets all specifications and safety requirements. The project is then handed to you with comprehensive documentation and maintenance guidelines.
5. After Care
Our mezzanine floor services go beyond the supply and installation as we are able to provide maintenance and repair services to ensure your space continues to meet Building Regulations, health and safety standards and your needs.

Mezzanine Floor FAQs
The installation time for a mezzanine floor varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, a standard mezzanine floor can be installed within 2 to 3 weeks.

A wide variety of businesses can benefit from custom mezzanine floors, including:
- Warehouses and Distribution Centers: For additional storage space and efficient inventory management.

The weight a mezzanine floor can support depends on its design and intended use. Typically, mezzanine floors are designed to support live loads ranging from 250 kg/m² to 1,000 kg/m² or more. Our engineers conduct detailed load-bearing calculations based on the specific requirements of your project, ensuring the mezzanine floor is structurally sound and safe for its intended use. Custom designs can accommodate higher load capacities if needed.
