Warehouse Epoxy Resin Flooring
Specialist Contractors for Industrial Epoxy Floor Installation
Why Choose Epoxy Flooring for Your Warehouse?
Warehouse floors face continuous stress from forklift traffic, pallet drops, and round-the-clock operations. Each day brings 200+ forklift movements, dropped pallets from 3-metre heights, and demanding chemical resistant flooring requirements that standard concrete cannot meet. Our epoxy resin systems are formulated to handle these specific challenges with 6-9mm thickness applications.
Concrete dusting creates major operational problems. Fine particles contaminate products, damage MHE bearings, and require constant cleaning that costs facilities £15,000-20,000 annually. Epoxy flooring forms a molecular bond with the substrate, creating a unified surface that eliminates dusting completely. The seamless finish withstands point loads up to 50 tonnes per square metre while preventing oil penetration and moisture ingress.
Installation follows a precise multi-layer process. Surface preparation includes diamond grinding to achieve CSP-3 profile, moisture testing below 75% RH, and primer application at 300 microns thickness. The body coat incorporates quartz aggregate for durability, followed by a wear layer designed for your specific traffic patterns. Proper installation takes 5-7 days for 5,000m², including 48-hour cure time between coats. The finished surface resists most industrial chemicals and increases light reflectivity by 30%, reducing energy costs.

Why London's Leading Warehouses Choose Us
What Makes Us London's Leading Warehouse Floor Contractors?
We operate as direct contractors with our own equipment and installation teams. Our crews specialise exclusively in warehouse flooring, with each installer completing 200+ warehouse projects. We maintain £2 million worth of specialist equipment including ride-on grinders, shot blasters, and mixing stations. This ensures complete control over project schedules without dependency on equipment hire availability.
Different warehouse zones require specific treatment approaches. Loading bays need flexible polyurethane joints to accommodate dock leveller movement and thermal expansion up to 5mm. Racking areas demand FM1 superflat tolerances with maximum 3mm deviation over 3 metres to prevent reach truck battery damage. High-traffic aisles incorporate broadcast aggregate at 3kg per square metre for enhanced durability. These specifications are based on analysis of 500+ warehouse installations over 20 years.
Installation scheduling accommodates operational requirements through flexible working patterns. Night shifts run 6pm to 6am, weekend work covers Friday evening through Monday morning. Each project has a dedicated project manager on-site throughout installation. Temperature affects cure times significantly - at 20°C, systems achieve traffic-ready status in 48 hours, but at 10°C this extends to 72 hours minimum. We monitor ambient and substrate temperatures continuously to ensure proper curing.
How Long Does Warehouse Floor Installation Take?
Standard warehouse flooring installation covers 500-700m² daily with complete systems taking 7-10 days for 5,000m². This includes surface preparation, primer application at 300g/m², base coat at 2-3mm thickness, and seal coat application. Rapid-cure MMA systems reduce installation time to 4-5 days through faster cure cycles of 2 hours between coats.
Timeline variables include substrate condition, contamination levels, and ambient temperature. Diamond grinding removes 1-2mm of surface laitance, while shot blasting achieves CSP-3 to CSP-5 profile depth. Crack repairs using structural epoxy mortars add 24 hours per 100 linear metres. Joint treatment with flexible sealants requires additional cure time. Section sizes of 1,000m² allow continued facility operation during phased installation.
Phased installation maintains operational continuity through strategic zone completion. Weekend programmes run Friday 6pm through Monday 6am, completing 2,000m² including full cure. Night work between 10pm and 6am suits 24/7 operations, with 500m² sections ready for morning shifts. Temperature-controlled accelerators enable 12-hour light traffic return and 48-hour full loading capacity at 15°C minimum.

Preparation work adds £3-5/m² for contaminated surfaces. Anti-static systems increase costs by 15-20%. Free site surveys provide fixed-price quotations valid for 60 days, with payment terms available for orders exceeding £25,000.
Night shifts run 6pm-6am, weekend coverage spans Friday evening through Monday morning. Bank holiday working incurs no premium charges. Phased installations complete 1,000m² sections sequentially, maintaining 70% operational capacity throughout. Fast-cure MMA systems achieve 12-hour pedestrian access and 24-hour forklift readiness at 20°C. Installation schedules integrate with WMS downtime windows and peak season avoidance.
Clear zones require 5-metre perimeter access for equipment positioning. We handle surface preparation including diamond grinding to CSP-3 profile, shot blasting at 50m²/hour, and crack routing to 5mm width. Moisture testing uses Tramex meters targeting <75% RH. Oil decontamination employs specialist degreasers penetrating 3mm depth. Access requirements include 3-phase power supply and water connection within 50 metres.
Service life averages 15-20 years under typical warehouse conditions of 200 forklift movements daily. System thickness determines durability - 3mm lasts 10-12 years, 6mm extends to 15-18 years, 9mm achieves 20+ years. Annual wear rates measure 0.1-0.2mm in traffic lanes. Our 20-year warranty covers delamination, chemical resistance failure, and excessive wear. Annual inspections document thickness readings and identify maintenance requirements before critical thresholds.
Yes, line marking is integrated directly into our epoxy systems using chemically-bonded resins that won't wear away like painted lines. We create pedestrian walkways, forklift routes, storage zones, and safety markings that comply with HSE requirements. Different colours and textures can be incorporated for hazard areas, loading zones, and emergency exits. This permanent marking system maintains visibility throughout the floor's lifespan.
Our specialist contractors repair all defects as part of the installation process. Cracks are routed out and filled with flexible resins, joints are rebuilt, and surface irregularities are ground smooth. Damaged areas from impact or chemical attack are cut out and rebuilt. Our self-levelling systems can correct minor level variations, creating the flat surfaces essential for racking stability. All repairs are included in our quotation following site survey.
