Retail mezzanine floors in Dorset
Our teams carry out retail mezzanine floors in Bournemouth, Poole and Dorchester and the rest of Dorset. A retail mezzanine adds sales floor, stockroom or staff space inside a shop or retail warehouse.
Retail mezzanine floors for Dorset businesses
Port-side warehouses around Poole handle high volumes in limited space, so storage mezzanines and multi-level picking are common. Steel finishes are chosen with damp, salty air in mind. Many Bournemouth businesses with an industrial unit want their office next to the operation. A fire-protected mezzanine office does that in weeks, with glazing looking over the floor.
Typical work we price in Dorset includes port-side storage mezzanines, mezzanine offices in industrial units, mezzanines in older industrial buildings. Dorset is in the South West, around 127 miles from our Birmingham base on average.

Questions people ask
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. We provide retail mezzanine floors across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Poole and Dorchester, and nearby areas such as Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire.
Will a mezzanine cope with coastal air near Bournemouth?
We specify galvanised steel and suitable finishes where buildings see damp or salty air.
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 customers use a mezzanine floor?
Yes, when it is designed for public use. That means crowd loading, suitable stairs and balustrades, and fire protection and escape routes approved by Building Control.
