Services
Laser Screed Flooring
Our laser screed flooring utilises advanced technology for ultra-flat surfaces in industrial and commercial settings. This method ensures dimensional accuracy and rapid installation, ideal for warehouses and manufacturing facilities requiring seamless finishes. The system enhances load-bearing capacity while minimising maintenance needs over time.
External Hard Standings
We construct durable external hard standings designed to withstand heavy vehicle traffic and harsh weather conditions. These surfaces combine structural integrity with slip-resistant finishes, suitable for loading bays, distribution centres, and industrial yards across the UK.
Composite Metal Floors
Our composite metal flooring systems integrate steel decking with concrete for lightweight yet robust structural solutions. This method accelerates construction timelines while maintaining fire resistance and acoustic performance, commonly used in multi-storey commercial buildings.
Hand Laid Floors
Hand poured concrete floors combine artisanal techniques with modern materials for customised finishes. This approach allows precise control over texture and appearance, particularly suited to heritage projects or spaces requiring unique aesthetic specifications.
Dry Shake Toppings
We apply dry shake toppings to enhance surface durability and abrasion resistance in high-traffic areas. This technique creates a dust-proof, easy-clean finish while extending the lifespan of concrete floors in industrial and retail environments.
