Epoxy floor coatings in Bournemouth.

Epoxy, polyurethane and chemical-resistant floor systems for warehouses, distribution centres and commercial premises.

Retail refurbishment, commercial decorating and frame restoration across Bournemouth, Poole and the wider Dorset coast. Town-centre and Castlepoint retail, the hotel and hospitality frontages along the seafront, and the salt-weathered shopfronts that restoration recovers without replacement.

Right fit when

  • The existing slab is sound but the surface is breaking down, dusting or failing hygiene checks.
  • Hygiene, chemical resistance or heavy traffic load drives the specification.

Bournemouth programme

How we run floor coatings schemes locally.

  1. 01 · Survey

    Substrate moisture test (Tramex or hygrometer), cohesion check, traffic load assessment, chemical exposure inventory, downtime window. The cure schedule is agreed before specification, not after.

  2. 02 · Specification

    System selected by substrate, load class and use: epoxy screed for heavy forklift traffic, polyurethane for food environments and thermal cycling, chemical-resistant PU where required. Anti-slip aggregate grade specified if needed. Cure schedule set to the system, not the client's preferred weekend.

  3. 03 · RAMS

    Project-specific RAMS including ventilation plan, pedestrian and forklift exclusion zones during application and cure, COSHH for solvent and catalyst components.

  4. 04 · Delivery

    Shot-blast or diamond-grind substrate, vacuum clean, apply primer, lay system coats to specified film build, broadcast aggregate if in spec, cure, line-mark.

  5. 05 · Handover

    As-applied record (product batch, film thickness readings, application temperatures), anti-slip classification where applicable, cleaning and maintenance regime.

Frequently asked · Bournemouth

What clients in Bournemouth usually ask first.

Are you local to Bournemouth and Poole?
Yes. This is our base. Surveys are usually next-day and mobilisation is fast across Dorset and the BH postcodes.
Do you work on hotels and hospitality frontages?
Regularly. Coastal hotels and hospitality venues are a staple of the local programme, decorated and resprayed around guests and trading.
Can you restore weathered seafront shopfronts?
Yes. Powder-coated frame restoration recovers faded, salt-exposed aluminium to a matched finish on site, without reglazing or replacement.
How long is the cure before forklift traffic?
Walk-on is typically 12-24 hours. Forklift-ready is typically 5-7 days, depending on system and temperature. Confirmed in writing per scheme.
Can you include anti-slip?
Yes. Aluminium oxide, glass bead or quartz aggregate broadcast into the topcoat. Slip-resistance rating to the specified class.
Will it survive heavy forklift traffic?
Yes, with the right system. We specify to the actual traffic load class, not a generic warehouse spec.
Can it be done over a weekend?
Some systems can, some can't. It depends on substrate moisture, ventilation and the cure rate. We agree the realistic handover at survey, based on the actual cure time.
What warranty comes with the floor?
System-dependent. Most schemes ship with a manufacturer-backed warranty where we are the approved applicator.
