Can you coat a working distribution centre?

Yes. We phase by zone so picking and dispatch carry on around us, reopening each area before moving to the next.

Do you do warehouse floor coatings?

Yes. Epoxy and polyurethane systems specified to the slab and the traffic load, with the downtime agreed up front, not assumed.

What about access in high bay units?

MEWPs, scaffold and mast climbers as the building needs; agreed at survey alongside the traffic management plan.

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 slip resistant?

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?

It is system dependent. Whether a manufacturer-backed warranty applies is assessed after survey for the selected floor system.

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.
Downtime is expensive. The programme and cure schedule need to be agreed in writing before mobilisation.
You want a resin garage floor that resists hot tyre pickup and will not peel or lift after the first summer.
Your garage or workshop floor is dusty, pitted or stained and you want a dust free, easy clean resin surface.

Swindon programme

How we run floor coatings schemes locally.

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.

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. Slip resistant aggregate grade specified if needed. Cure schedule set to the system, not the client's preferred weekend.

RAMS

RAMS written for the project including ventilation plan, pedestrian and forklift exclusion zones during application and cure, COSHH for solvent and catalyst components.

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.

Handover

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