Floor coatings · Oxford

Epoxy floor coatings in Oxford.

Epoxy, polyurethane and chemical-resistant floor systems for warehouses, distribution centres and commercial premises. The system is matched to the substrate, the traffic load and how much downtime you can give us. Delivered across Oxford and Oxfordshire. Facade cleaning, restoration and commercial decorating across Oxford. A city of college stone, listed frontages and the Westgate retail estate. Heritage-safe DOFF cleaning, sympathetic restoration of period metalwork, and retail and commercial decorating worked around a tight, pedestrianised centre.

Oxford 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 · Oxford

What clients in Oxford usually ask first.

Can you clean college and heritage stone safely?

Yes. DOFF steam at low pressure removes soiling without harming the stone; we sample first and work to any conservation conditions.

Do you work in Oxford's pedestrian centre?

Yes. Access, deliveries and out-of-hours working are planned around the centre's restrictions and agreed before we mobilise.

How far do you cover around Oxford?

Oxford city plus Bicester, Abingdon, Witney and the business parks along the A34 and M40 corridor.

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.
