Mezzanine floor installation for Cumbria businesses
Distribution sheds around Carlisle often run out of floor before they run out of height. A storage mezzanine over packing, returns or small-parts picking can add hundreds of square metres without a move, with pallet gates placed where forklifts already work. In older buildings in Kendal, we survey existing floors and structure closely before designing a mezzanine, because slab thickness and column positions are rarely on record.
Typical work we price in Cumbria includes storage and picking mezzanines in distribution units, mezzanines in older industrial buildings. Cumbria is in the North West, around 147 miles from our Birmingham base on average.
What the job includes
- Survey of clear height, slab, access and escape routes
- 38mm high-density chipboard, steel grating or chequer plate deck
- Building Regulations submission and sign-off
- Staircase, 1100mm handrails, kick plates and pallet gates
Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
Yes. We provide mezzanine floor installation across Cumbria, including Carlisle and Kendal, and nearby areas such as County Durham, Tyne and Wear and Lancashire.
Can you install a warehouse mezzanine near Carlisle without stopping despatch?
Yes. We fence off the work zone, deliver steel at agreed times, and phase the build so picking and despatch keep running.
Do I need Building Regulations approval for a mezzanine?
Yes. A mezzanine is new structure and adds floor area, so it needs Building Regulations approval covering structure, fire safety, stairs and guarding. We prepare the drawings and calculations and manage the application.
How much height do I need for a mezzanine floor?
As a rule of thumb, around 5m clear to the underside of the roof steel gives two usable levels, with about 2.4m or more under the deck. Lower buildings can still take a storage mezzanine with reduced headroom on top.
