Years
Experience in Industrial Flooring

Automotive plants combine pressing, welding, painting, assembly and testing within one site. We deliver flooring that supports vehicle flow, part handling and equipment positioning, while helping teams keep production areas organised and safe.

Our Expertise

Flooring Requirements in Automotive Production

Automotive production facilities operate with continuous movement between press shops, body-in-white areas, paint lines and final assembly. Floors must carry conveyors, skids, automated guided vehicles and tow trains, as well as supporting fixed equipment bases and workstations. Surfaces need to cope with tyre marks, overspray, oils and coolants without becoming difficult to clean or unsafe underfoot.

Many plants select polished concrete in assembly and logistics areas to improve visibility and keep dust levels low, while more heavily loaded zones may require reinforced slabs or local resurfacing to manage focused loads and frequent turning.

High static loading beneath robots, jigs, presses and assembly fixtures.
Regular vehicle and trolley movement along set paths between production stages.
Exposure to oils, sealants, paint overspray and process fluids in selected areas.
Requirement for clear line marking to separate walkways, workstations and vehicle routes.
Need for consistent levels where conveyors, skids and automated systems run.

Flooring Issues in Automotive Production Plants

Continuous production schedules and repeated equipment movements can expose weaknesses in floor slabs. Left unchecked, these issues can slow vehicle flow, affect alignment or increase maintenance demands.

Cracking and settlement beneath presses and heavy assembly stations

Surface wear and tyre marking along main vehicle and tug routes

Oil and coolant staining that makes cleaning more difficult

Joint damage in areas where trolleys and stillages cross frequently

Uneven zones affecting conveyor level and skid movement

Local damage in paint shops and preparation bays from overspray and abrasion

How We Improve Floors in Automotive Production Plants

STEP 1

Assessment and
Review

We review plant layouts, production stages, equipment bases and internal logistics routes. Particular attention is given to press shops, paint areas and high movement corridors where the floor is under constant strain.

Specification and
Preparation

Based on the review, we set out a plan using new slab installations, polished finishes or industrial overlays, together with joint work and bay repairs where equipment and vehicles have caused deterioration.

Execution and
Improvement

Works are phased to fit around model changes, shutdowns and line stoppages. We rebuild damaged areas, reprofile uneven sections and apply resurfacing solutions to give a consistent, clean and easily managed surface across production and logistics areas.

BS 8204

Flooring works follow BS 8204 guidance for surface regularity, supporting accurate equipment placement, conveyor lines and vehicle movement in production halls.

BS EN 206

We work in line with BS EN 206 for concrete mix and curing practice, helping to achieve consistent performance where loads, temperature and chemical exposure vary across the plant.

CSCS Certified

Our teams hold CSCS cards and are experienced working in live automotive environments with moving vehicles, equipment and staff routes.

SMAS Worksafe

SMAS Worksafe accreditation confirms our compliance with SSIP standards and supports consistent safety management throughout each flooring project.

Right arrow FAQ

Automotive Production Flooring
Common Questions

Can flooring work be carried out between model changes or shutdowns?

Yes. We plan works around production calendars, using shutdowns, line changes and quieter periods to complete the most disruptive stages first.

What flooring options work best under assembly lines and skids?

Assembly areas often use reinforced slabs with smooth finishes or polished concrete to support smooth skid and trolley movement and simplify cleaning.

Can you repair local damage without replacing whole areas?

Yes. We can rebuild individual bays, repair joints and carry out focused resurfacing in zones affected by presses, paint processes or vehicle traffic.

How do you handle floors in paint shops or preparation bays?

We assess chemical exposure, overspray, traffic levels and cleaning methods, then propose slab works or resurfacing systems that cope with those conditions while remaining straightforward to maintain.

Can you support flooring design for new automotive production lines?

We can review draft layouts, equipment loads and vehicle paths to recommend slab thickness, reinforcement and surface finishes suitable for new lines or extensions.
