COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL RESIN FLOORING
Resin flooring contractors for factories, warehouses, food production and workshops across the North West, Yorkshire, the Midlands and North East Wales. Floors specified, prepared and installed by certified installers, with written specifications and a build-up matched to the traffic it will actually take.
Working for national manufacturers, logistics operators and public sector estates since 1999.
Almost every failed industrial floor comes back to the same four variables: the condition of the substrate, the quality of the preparation, the temperature and contamination on site, and whether the system was matched to the traffic it actually carries.
Get those right and a resin floor runs for fifteen years and more. Get them wrong and it blisters, delaminates or dusts within a year or two, regardless of what the manufacturer’s datasheet claims.
We survey the substrate before we quote it. That means moisture testing, an assessment of what is already down, and a written specification naming the system, its FeRFA type and its thickness — so you know what you are buying and so does anyone who has to approve it.
FeRFA classifies synthetic resin flooring into eight types by build-up and thickness.
Specifying by type rather than by brand is how you compare quotes properly.
FeRFA Type 1. Two or more coats up to 150 microns, binding a dusting slab and giving a cleanable surface. From £8 per square metre.
FeRFA Type 2. Dual component to 300 microns, solvent free, in gloss, matt or silk. Chemical resistance with a decorative finish.
FeRFA Type 3. Up to 1000 microns over prepared concrete and the system specified on most industrial jobs. Takes colour well for demarcation.
FeRFA Type 4. Multi-coat build at 1 to 3mm with aggregate broadcast between coats, for impact and constant wear.
FeRFA Type 5. Flow-applied at 2 to 3mm for a seamless finish where hygiene and cleaning matter more than impact resistance.
FeRFA Type 7. Three part filled system at 4 to 6mm thickness, giving a self-smoothing finish for heavy and very heavy duty areas.
FeRFA Types 7 and 8. Trowel-applied at 6 to 9mm to take thermal shock, steam cleaning and constant heavy forklift traffic.
Cures at temperatures down to −5°C and is ready in around two hours. Installed overnight or at a weekend it can remove the need to shutdown entirely.
Cures in hours, but the odour can taint food, fabrics and stock and the area must be cleared and ventilated. Better suited to new build and refurbishment projects.
Seamless, non-porous surfaces that withstand steam cleaning, thermal shock and daily washdown without harbouring bacteria at joints or coving.
Cleanroom-compatible finishes with fully sealed junctions, specified to hold up under repeated disinfection and controlled environment audit conditions.
Heavy-duty screeds engineered for constant forklift and pallet truck traffic, with demarcation that keeps pedestrian and vehicle routes properly separated.
Chemically resistant floors that shrug off oil, coolant and brake fluid, laid to take point loading from machinery and vehicle lifting equipment.
Systems selected against the specific chemicals on site, because resistance is never universal and the wrong resin fails within months of exposure.
Polyurethane screeds that stay dimensionally stable through freeze-thaw cycling and rapid temperature change, where epoxy systems crack and debond.
Certified protection for high-compliance environments
We help design 5S marking systems that optimise facility workflow and support HSE compliance across your operations.
Systems are cross-referenced against your specific exposure risks, from organic acids and Skydrol to extreme thermal cleaning cycles.
As certified installers we work to ISOPA and ALIPA standards for the safe application of high-performance resin flooring solutions and technologies.
Installations are specified to hold up under BRCGS and pharmaceutical inspection, so the floor is not what fails your audit.
Some sites need the groundwork rather than the finish — a level base, a moisture barrier, a repair or a set of lines. Each is quoted and programmed as standalone work.
Pump-applied cementitious screed over a prepared, DPM-treated substrate, levelling worn, uneven or failed industrial floors at pace. Laid as the base that a resin floor system is then installed onto.
Surface-applied damp proof membranes over concrete that is still releasing moisture, installed as a preparation package for main contractors rather than as part of a complete flooring solution.
Vehicle and pedestrian segregation, bay marking, walkways, hatching and 5S layouts, applied in resin rather than tape so they survive forklift traffic and washdown. Set out with your HSE and workflow requirements.
Crack stitching, expansion and saw-cut joint repair, spalled bay edges and localised patch repairs to failed resin. Carried out bay by bay so the rest of the floor keeps working while we do it.
Diamond grinding or shot blasting back to sound concrete, moisture testing to confirm the substrate is dry enough to coat, and repair of cracks, joints and spalled areas before any resin is mixed. Skipping this is why cheap floors blister and peel.
Substrate condition, preparation quality, temperature and contamination are the four variables that determine whether a resin floor lasts fifteen years or fifteen months. FeRFA guidance is explicit: resin flooring follows the substrate profile beneath it.
Every operative handling polyurethane products holds current REACH diisocyanate training, documented on completion and renewed on the five-year cycle.
Quality and environmental management certification, giving procurement teams and specifiers documented management systems their process asks for.
Method statements, COSHH assessments and risk documentation issued before mobilisation, rather than chased up after the work has already started.
The practical questions that decide an industrial installation
We specialise in out-of-hours and weekend installations so your facility keeps running while we work. On many sites this removes the shutdown entirely.
Industrial systems are engineered for fifteen to twenty years of service, matched specifically to the traffic your site actually carries.
Every project includes a bespoke aftercare guide so your teams can maintain slip resistance and hygiene standards without guesswork.
Jason personally signs off the preparation phase of every project, because preparation is what decides whether the floor lasts.
Every contractor will give you a rate per square metre. Ours are published below. But on a working site there is a second number, and for some businesses it is the larger of the two.
| System | FeRFA | Thickness | Per m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor Seal | Type 1 | Up to 150µm | From £8 |
| Epoxy and PU Coating | Type 2 | 150 – 300µm | £8 – £12 |
| High Build Coating | Type 3 | 300 – 1000µm | £8 – £12 |
| Multi-Layer Flooring | Type 4 | 1 – 3mm | £12 – £16 |
| Self-Smoothing | Type 5 | 2 – 4mm | £20 – £30 |
| Heavy Duty Flowable | Type 7 | 4 – 6mm | £25 – £35 |
| Heavy Duty PU Screed | Type 8 | 6 – 9mm | £30 – £40 |
| Polyaspartic | Chemistry | 300 – 500µm | £38 |
| MMA | Chemistry | 2 – 6mm | £45 |
Inclusive of preparation, labour and materials. Rates assume a sound, accessible substrate and are indicative until the floor has been surveyed. Polyaspartic and MMA sit outside the FeRFA type classification because they describe the resin chemistry rather than the build-up.
A three day shutdown at a plant turning over £2,000 an hour is £120,000 of lost output. On most sites that is several times the price of the floor.
Five contractors quoted one timber processing plant. All five proposed the same system and a three to four day closure. None of them costed the closure.
We proposed a faster-curing system installed across a weekend. A higher rate per square metre, and no shutdown at all. On the client’s own figures the avoided losses exceeded the price of the floor.
We install evenings, weekends and one bay at a time.
Whether a shutdown costs you thousands an hour or simply gets in the way, you do not always have to close your site for a resin flooring installation.
Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and North East Wales, across South and West Yorkshire, and into Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and the West Midlands. The Cheshire base sits centrally to that footprint, which keeps survey and mobilisation quick across it.
A contractor two hours away prices travel into every visit and takes days to attend a defect. Working inside our own region means the survey happens quickly and any snag is dealt with without a mobilisation charge attached.
Resin flooring delivered for national manufacturing and engineering groups, phased around live production so that lines keep running throughout.
Heavy-duty screeds and safety demarcation installed across logistics facilities, sequenced to fit inside planned shutdown and holiday windows.
Hygienic and cleanroom-grade finishes for food, pharmaceutical and healthcare clients working to external audit and routine inspection standards.
Pricing starts at only £1,500 for a single garage, which includes all preparation, materials and labour. With a full range of colours and finishes to choose from, such as Epoxy, PVC Flake and Quartz, you could have your dream garage floor professionally installed in no time at all!

Fifteen to twenty years and beyond in a commercial setting with maintenance, and ten to twenty years in a domestic garage. The determining factors are the condition of the substrate, the quality of the preparation and whether the system was matched to the traffic. A floor specified one duty band too light will not reach those figures regardless of the product used.
Usually, yes. Most industrial projects are phased around production, taking one bay or one zone at a time, and many are sequenced into shutdown periods or weekends. The constraint is cure time rather than application time, which is why the programme is agreed at survey stage rather than assumed.
Since 24 August 2023, anyone handling or supervising the use of products containing 0.1% or more diisocyanates must hold documented training under REACH, renewed at least every five years. That covers most polyurethane resin systems. If a contractor cannot produce those records, they are not legally able to install a PU floor on your site.
Diamond grinding and shot blasting are carried out with dust extraction, so the mess is far less than most people expect, but the area does need to be clear of plant, racking and traffic. We agree the extent of clearance at survey, because the cost of preparing around obstacles is usually higher than the cost of moving them.
That depends entirely on the specific chemicals, their concentration, the temperature and the contact time. Chemical resistance is a property of the individual system, not of resin flooring generally, so we ask for your COSHH register at survey and specify against it. Any contractor who claims universal chemical resistance has not read the datasheet.
Yes. Every quotation is preceded by a free site survey and accompanied by a written specification naming the system, its FeRFA type, its thickness and the preparation method. That document is what lets you compare quotes properly, and what your specifier or insurer will ask to see.
A successful installation is built on technical precision and professional foresight. Transition from initial research to a formal assessment by engaging directly with our consultative team.
As fully certified industrial resin flooring contractors we will evaluate your substrate, define your operational requirements, and provide a specification engineered for the long-term protection of your facility.
