Track record

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.

Bristol 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 · Bristol

What clients in Bristol usually ask first.

Do you handle heritage and conservation-area facades?
Yes. DOFF steam and chemical cleaning are core to the South West programme, including listed buildings and conservation-area shopfronts where pressure washing isn't an option.
How quickly can you survey in Bristol?
Typically same-week. Bristol and the M4 corridor are a regular run for the team from our Dorset base.
Can you work around live retail trading?
Yes. Most Bristol retail work is phased around opening hours, with overnight cuts where the centre requires it.
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.
