Bristol Warehouse
Floor Resurfacing & Overlays

We deliver warehouse floor resurfacing and industrial overlay systems across Bristol and the wider Avonmouth and Severnside corridor. Existing concrete slabs are refurbished using bonded self levelling systems, polymer modified cementitious overlays and resin finishes, specified in line with BS 8204 and BS EN 206 for heavy duty industrial and logistics floors.

20 +

Years
Experience in Concrete Flooring

Our Bristol resurfacing teams work in and around Avonmouth, Severnside, Cabot Park, St Philips and industrial areas along the M4 and M5. Projects include regional distribution centres, parcel hubs, manufacturing plants and multi let estates where existing concrete slabs are surveyed, repaired and overlaid to restore levelness, durability and operational performance.

How We Plan and Deliver
Resurfacing in Bristol

STEP 1

Floor Investigation
& Substrate Preparation

We begin with a condition survey of the existing concrete slab, reviewing cracking, joint breakdown, surface wear, impact damage and areas affected by racking or dock leveller traffic. This is critical in high throughput hubs at Avonmouth, Severnside and along the M4 and M5 corridors. Defective concrete is broken out and reinstated, joints are rebuilt where required and the surface is mechanically prepared using grinding, shot blasting and diamond tooling to provide a clean, profiled base for the chosen warehouse floor resurfacing system.

Overlay Placement
& Levelness Control

After preparation, we install the specified industrial floor overlay. This may be a polymer modified cementitious topping, a cement based self levelling system or a resin finish selected to suit loads, environment and cleaning regime. Thickness is controlled to bring large bays back within tolerance and to improve regularity in racking aisles, cross docks and marshalling lanes. Systems are chosen to support high bay racking, forklift guidance systems and intensive MHE movements typical of Bristol regional distribution and parcel networks.

Curing, Verification
& Handover

Once installed, the overlay is cured in accordance with manufacturer guidance and the agreed programme. Fast track systems can permit controlled access in 24 to 48 hours, subject to temperature and ventilation, with full mechanical loading following later. Joints are cut or reinstated to manage movement and reduce future edge damage. Where required, we review flatness, regularity and surface hardness before handover and provide maintenance and operating guidance so Bristol operators can plan traffic, cleaning and inspection around the new industrial floor overlay.

Substrate Preparation
and Bond Performance

Long term performance depends on the bond between the overlay and the underlying slab. Our Bristol teams use mechanical preparation to remove weak laitance, coatings and contamination, creating a consistent profile for primers and bonding agents. This approach reduces the risk of debonding and blistering and supports a composite behaviour between slab and overlay under repeated forklift traffic and point loads from racking and automation.

Phasing and
Operational Continuity

Bristol and Avonmouth hubs often run extended or 24 hour operations. Resurfacing works are phased to maintain goods in and goods out, with defined work zones, temporary routes and carefully planned possession windows. Where suitable, we use fast curing systems that allow phased handback of aisles and loading areas so that operators can maintain service levels while still achieving the preparation and curing durations required for a robust industrial floor overlay.

Service Life and
Cost Planning

Replacing a warehouse slab is disruptive and capital intensive, particularly where high bay racking, conveyor systems and services are already in place. Resurfacing allows the existing slab to remain where structurally sound while renewing the wearing surface with a system chosen for abrasion resistance, impact performance and long term smooth running for MHE. This provides a cost effective route to extending the service life of Bristol warehouse floors without extensive downtime.

Right arrow FAQ

Warehouse Floor Resurfacing Bristol
Common Questions

What types of Bristol warehouse floors do you typically resurface?
We work on a wide range of facilities including regional distribution centres at Avonmouth and Severnside, parcel hubs, temperature controlled stores, manufacturing plants and multi let industrial units across Bristol. Floors can be resurfaced where the existing slab and sub base remain structurally sound and suitable for an industrial floor overlay.
Can you carry out resurfacing while Bristol warehouses remain operational?
Yes. Many projects are completed in live environments where goods in, goods out and trunking movements must be maintained. We phase works by area, agree possession windows, set up temporary routes and, where appropriate, use night or weekend working so that Bristol operators can continue to run their sites while resurfacing is in progress.
How do you deal with joint damage and forklift wear before installing an overlay?
Joints and localised defects are repaired before any overlay is placed. This may include cutting out damaged arrises, reinstating joint edges with appropriate repair materials and reforming movement or construction joints. Addressing these issues in advance reduces the risk of reflective cracking and improves forklift ride quality on the finished warehouse floor resurfacing system.
What return to service times are typical for Bristol distribution and parcel hubs?
Return to service depends on the overlay system, thickness and environmental conditions. Some fast track cementitious and resin systems allow light traffic in 24 to 48 hours, while heavier forklift and racking loads may require a longer period. We provide project specific guidance so that local operations teams can plan stock, vehicle movements and staffing around the programme.
Are your resurfacing systems suitable for high bay and narrow aisle warehouses in Bristol?
Yes. Systems are selected and detailed with high bay racking, narrow aisle and very narrow aisle layouts in mind. We focus on levelness, regularity and joint performance to support guidance systems, reduce vibration and help protect MHE in Bristol warehouses with tall racking and intensive lift truck movements.
Do your Bristol projects meet BS 8204, BS EN 206 and client engineering standards?
Resurfacing works are designed and delivered in line with BS 8204 for screeds and toppings and BS EN 206 for concrete, together with standard UK industrial flooring practice. We follow manufacturer guidance on preparation, application and curing and can coordinate with client engineers or consultants to align with wider structural and operational requirements for the site.
What information helps you prepare a resurfacing proposal for a Bristol warehouse?
Helpful information includes floor area, current slab condition, known issues, age of the building, type of MHE and loads, any planned changes to racking or automation and available access periods. Photographs, survey data and layout drawings make it easier to propose a suitable industrial floor overlay system and programme for the Bristol site.
