Retail mezzanine floors for Cumbria businesses
Around Carlisle, most mezzanine enquiries come from warehouses and distribution units: shelving floors for picking, packing areas below, and mezzanine offices overlooking the operation. We plan the build so despatch keeps running. In older buildings in Carlisle, 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.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Cumbria?
Yes. We provide retail mezzanine floors 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.
Does a shop mezzanine need planning permission?
In England, a mezzanine adding more than 200 m² of floor space to a shop selling goods (not hot food) needs planning permission. Smaller ones are normally internal works, but Building Regulations approval is still needed.
Can you install while the store stays open?
Yes. We work overnight or out of hours and phase the build around fixtures, so the shop can keep trading.
