Flooring for
Manufacturing Plants

Warehouse Flooring Solutions installs concrete slabs, polished finishes and refurbishment systems for manufacturing plants throughout the UK. Floors are engineered to support machinery, workflow routes, production lines and handling equipment.

Years
Experience in Industrial Flooring

Manufacturing environments place distinct pressures on floor slabs. From static loads beneath heavy machines to constant traffic between work areas, the surface must remain stable, predictable and easy to keep clean. Our approach supports reliable production flow and safe movement throughout the facility.

Our Expertise

Flooring Requirements in Manufacturing Plants

Manufacturing facilities combine machinery, assembly areas, mobile equipment and pedestrian routes within a single space. Each department places different forces on the floor, from long term pressure beneath equipment bases to movement from pallet trucks and tool trolleys. Surfaces must stand up to vibration, heat exposure, spills and the impact of tools or components.

Many plants favour polished concrete for its clean appearance and ease of maintenance, while others require reinforced slab construction or specialised resurfacing to support heavier operations or temperature variations.

Static weight from machinery and equipment requiring firm, steady support.
Vibration and impact forces created by presses, fabrication tools and assembly lines.
Chemical spills, oils and coolants that require surfaces resistant to staining and penetration.
Defined transport routes for pallet trucks, forklifts and internal logistics.
Routine cleaning expectations, particularly in mixed production and packaging areas.

Flooring Issues in Manufacturing Facilities

With processes running for long hours and equipment producing continuous stress, floor issues can appear quickly. These problems often lead to slowed production, restricted access or the need for planned resurfacing.

Surface cracking beneath equipment bases and support stands

Loose or uneven areas where machines produce vibration

Oil soaked patches affecting grip and hygiene

Worn paths between departments where trucks travel repeatedly

Spalling at joints in assembly or fabrication zones

Local settlement affecting machine alignment or safe movement

How We Improve Floors in Manufacturing Plants

STEP 1

Assessment and
Planning

We examine machinery positions, transport routes, spill-prone areas and vibration sources. This helps identify the underlying causes of wear and determine the correct approach for long term stability and safe movement across the plant.

Specification and
Preparation

We prepare a specification using new slab installations, polished surfaces or industrial overlays, together with joint work and repairs where vibration or chemical exposure has weakened the existing structure.

Execution and
Enhancement

Work is completed in phases that suit production schedules. We repair damaged bays, rebuild affected sections, grind uneven areas and apply resurfacing systems to restore consistent, tidy and predictable flooring throughout the site.

BS 8204

Floors are completed in line with BS 8204 guidance, supporting smooth internal movement and providing the level surfaces needed for machinery placement and safe workflow.

BS EN 206

We follow BS EN 206 principles for concrete mix and curing consistency, which helps deliver stable slab performance where equipment loads and temperature changes are common.

CSCS Certified

All staff hold valid CSCS cards, ensuring competent practice within active manufacturing plants where machinery, staff access and workflow timing require careful coordination.

SMAS Worksafe

Our SMAS Worksafe accreditation supports safe working conditions and structured management throughout every flooring project.

Right arrow FAQ

Manufacturing Plant Flooring
Common Questions

Can flooring work be completed without shutting down production?

Yes. We phase installation and repairs around shift patterns, isolating small areas at a time so machinery and staff can continue working safely.

Which flooring finish suits areas exposed to oils and coolants?

Plants often choose polished concrete for its smooth, sealed surface, or resurfacing systems that reinforce chemical resistance while keeping cleaning simple.

Can you correct uneven areas that affect machine alignment?

Yes. We can reprofile uneven slabs, rebuild damaged bays and strengthen local sections to improve stability beneath sensitive machinery or production tools.

Do you work in both light and heavy manufacturing plants?

We work across a wide range of sectors including fabrication, assembly, engineering and mixed production facilities, each with different load and traffic patterns.

Can you help plan flooring for a facility upgrade or new layout?

Yes. We can review proposed machinery positions, workstations and routes to recommend slab thickness, reinforcement and surface treatments suited to the new layout.
