Oxford Warehouse
Floor Resurfacing & Overlay Systems

We install industrial floor resurfacing and concrete overlay systems across Oxford, refurbishing existing warehouse and production floors using bonded self levelling compounds, polymer modified overlays and resin finishes. Solutions are selected to suit distribution units, workshops, research facilities and manufacturing environments around the city, improving surface condition, durability and operational consistency.

20 +

Years
Experience in Concrete Flooring

Our Oxford resurfacing work spans Oxford Business Park, Oxford Science Park, Cowley industrial areas, Horspath Road, Eynsham and the A34 corridor. Floors range from older production spaces with mixed repairs to newer logistics and research sites requiring controlled tolerances, chemical resistance or enhanced wear performance. We assess the slab, prepare the substrate and install an overlay designed for the site’s precise duty and traffic patterns.

How We Resurface Warehouse
Floors in Oxford

STEP 1

Floor Review,
Defect Repair & Profiling

We begin by examining the existing concrete, looking at cracking, joint deterioration, impact-damaged areas, hardstand wear and previous patch repairs. This is important in Oxford’s varied building stock, particularly older Cowley industrial units and repurposed research spaces. Defective areas are broken out and reinstated, joints are rebuilt where required and coatings or contaminants are removed. We then mechanically prepare the slab using grinding, shot blasting and diamond tooling to create a defined surface profile capable of bonding to a new overlay system.

Overlay Installation
and Level Accuracy

The selected overlay is installed once preparation is complete. Depending on floor duty, this may be a polymer modified cementitious topping, a cement based self levelling system or a resin finish for areas needing chemical resilience or very smooth finishes, common in scientific and technical facilities around Oxford Science Park. Thickness, flow and curing behaviour are controlled to refine levelness, remove local variations and improve regularity in racking aisles, production lines and logistics routes throughout Oxford warehouses and workshops.

Curing, Joint Work
and Site Integration

After installation the overlay is cured according to system requirements and the project programme. Some systems allow limited traffic within 24 to 48 hours, with heavier movements introduced only after strength and hardness have developed. We reinstate movement and construction joints to manage slab behaviour and align with the Oxford facility’s traffic pattern and racking layout. Before handover we check surface finish and, if specified, flatness or regularity and provide operating guidance suitable for logistics, research, storage or manufacturing environments in the region.

Oxford Facilities and Loads

Clean Substrate,
Reliable Bonding

A long lasting industrial overlay depends on reliable adhesion. Oxford buildings vary from older workshops with multiple historic coatings to newer research or distribution units with cleaner substrates. We remove incompatible finishes, address moisture where relevant and create a mechanical key using defined preparation methods. This reduces risks such as overlay movement or delamination under forklift and pallet truck traffic and provides a stable base for the new surface.

Programme Control
around Oxford Operations

Oxford facilities often operate across mixed schedules, from daytime distribution to research activities with strict access requirements. We plan resurfacing programmes around staff movement, deliveries, shift patterns and any controlled environments on site. Phased work zones, temporary access routes and, where necessary, out-of-hours operations help maintain continuity while allowing sufficient preparation and curing time for the overlay system.

Long Term
Floor Performance

Full slab replacement causes major disruption, particularly in Oxford sites with established racking, research equipment or production lines. Resurfacing preserves the structural slab while renewing the wearing layer with a system selected for abrasion resistance, point loads and smooth running. This approach supports predictable performance, reduces reactive repairs and helps extend the operational life of the asset.

Right arrow FAQ

Warehouse Floor Resurfacing Oxford
Common Questions

Do you resurface floors in Oxford’s research and technical facilities?
Yes. Many units in Oxford Science Park and surrounding areas have specific environmental or cleaning requirements. We assess chemical exposure, temperature conditions and equipment layouts before recommending a cementitious or resin system capable of meeting the required performance and maintaining operability during and after installation.
Can resurfacing be done in phases to keep our Oxford warehouse operational?
It can. Most Oxford projects run in live environments. We agree phased work areas, temporary access routes and possession periods around deliveries, production schedules or research activity. Where suitable, fast curing systems allow early access while maintaining proper installation quality.
How do you handle older Oxford industrial floors with multiple historic coatings?
Many Cowley and older Oxford units have been refurbished several times. We remove incompatible coatings, assess moisture, test bond strength where helpful and use mechanical preparation to create a stable substrate. Localised concrete repairs and joint reinstatement are completed before installing the overlay system.
Which overlay systems work best for Oxford production and storage facilities?
System choice depends on load types, MHE, climate and cleaning regime. Options include cement based self levelling systems for level correction, polymer modified overlays for structural performance and resin finishes for smooth surfaces or chemical resistance. We specify the system according to the operational requirements of the Oxford site rather than using a single standard solution.
When can forklifts and pallet trucks use a resurfaced floor in Oxford?
Some systems allow controlled light traffic within 24 to 48 hours. Full forklift or racking loads may require additional curing time depending on thickness, temperature and the product selected. We provide project specific timings so that movements within the Oxford facility can be planned safely around the works.
Can you include joint repairs or adjustments as part of resurfacing?
Yes. Joint condition varies across Oxford’s building stock. We can replace damaged joint sections, cut new movement joints after overlay installation and apply arris repairs or protection where required. This reduces future impact damage and improves performance for forklifts and pallet trucks.
What helps you prepare an accurate quotation for an Oxford facility?
Useful information includes floor area, current slab condition, MHE types, duty level, access constraints, any environmental requirements and planned layout changes. Photographs, previous survey notes or drawings also help shape a practical overlay specification and programme for the Oxford site.
