MAKE SPACE WITH A MEZZANINE FLOOR

What does your business need to take the next step? To reach its full potential? Is it a new piece of manufacturing equipment? More space to store products? More offices and meeting rooms? Whether you’re growing in your existing space or moving on to pastures new, mezzanine flooring gives you more value per square foot, and the room to cater for any business requirement.

As independent structures that aren’t tied into the fabric of your building, mezzanines are freestanding and extremely flexible. They can be designed around your existing floor plan, in and around existing machinery or even racking layouts. Also, if your mezzanine is for office space, you have the opportunity to design a completely bespoke layout that suits your business to a tee.

A mezzanine floor can literally double your warehouse’s capacity in no time at all – whether you need more office space for your expanding sales team, or somewhere to house your new production machines. We can construct your mezzanine around your operations, working shifts, weekends, nights – you name it – to keep your business functioning.

Choosing the right size premises from the outset is difficult to get right and you can quickly find your business has grown at pace or you need more space to be able to win that all important contract. Mezzanine floors can double or triple your space when needed and can be designed with future expansion in mind – allowing you to invest in a smaller, cheaper premises to start with. 

The uses for a mezzanine floor are almost endless. They can accommodate staff, stock or machinery and are extremely adaptable. A well designed mezzanine floor can suit any purpose you require as your business evolves, catering for new office space as you take on more staff, additional storage for products or components, or to create room for extra equipment and machinery.

The expense associated with setting up or moving a business can be phenomenal, but by installing a mezzanine floor you can choose a smaller space or even avoid a move, saving money on purchase prices/rent, running costs and business rates. There’s even a possibility that your mezzanine flooring can be dismantled and reinstalled in new premises if your growth necessitates a re-location. 

Whether your mezzanine floor is for office or warehouse use, the key to a successful project starts with a thorough site survey. We’ll visit your premises, measure your space, and listen to what you are looking to achieve. Learning how you currently operate and assessing any site restrictions will allow us to put forward a solution that works for you.

With your brief captured, its back to the office to design your mezzanine. Whatever your mezzanine requirement, whether it’s for office, storage or production purposes, our designers have the experience to maximise your space and ensure you receive the best value solution within your budget. We’ll also provide a detailed quotation breaking down the cost for each element.

Your project will be assigned a dedicated project manager that will be your point of call throughout your mezzanine build. You will be provided with a detailed works programme outlining the construction process from start to finish. If we’re working in an existing factory we’ll put a full plan in place, to ensure the build takes place with as little disruption to your business as possible.

Ensuring your mezzanine floor meets with the UK building regulations is vital. The building regulations are in place to ensure any alterations to your premises comply with all the latest legislation. All our proposals are looked at by a qualified building control officer prior to us submitting our design and quotation. Building control covers areas such as mezzanine fire protection, staircase positions, travel distances and smoke detection.

High standards of health and safety is at the forefront of everything we do. The process starts at the initial survey. This is where we’ll determine how site deliveries will be made and what needs to be put in place to ensure your employees are safe during the build for example. We’ll provide it all. Insurances, Risk assessments, Method statements, as well as ensuring site inductions and toolbox talks are carried out. Read more about your obligations with H&S here…

At the end of the project, you will be issued with building control and fire safety certificates as well as full operations and maintenance manuals for every aspect of the build. As part of the O&M Manual you will receive complete as-built drawings, including information regarding your warranty period. Your project manager will also complete a walk through with you at the end of the build to show you how everything works.
