How we deliver a mezzanine
One team takes the floor from survey to completion certificate, so nothing falls between the designer, the steel fabricator and the installer.
Designed to your load
We size the steel to what you will really store, from 3.5 kN/m² shelving floors to heavy pallet decks, and check your slab can take it.
Approval handled for you
Drawings, calculations, fire strategy and the Building Regulations application, through to the completion certificate.
Installed around your operation
Phased builds, agreed delivery slots and out-of-hours working so picking, production or trading carries on.
One contract, one team
Structure, stairs, gates, fire protection and fit-out under one contract, with one person to call.

Every floor we design is built to a stated load in kN/m², shown on a load notice at the top of the stair. These are typical starting points; we design to what you will actually store.
Load notice
3.5 kN/m²
Light storage
Cartons and hand-loaded shelving. About 357 kg per m².
Load notice
5.0 kN/m²
Medium storage
Denser stock and heavier shelving. About 510 kg per m².
Load notice
3.5+ kN/m²
Offices
People, furniture and an allowance for partitions.
Load notice
7.5+ kN/m²
Heavy duty
Pallets placed by forklift, machinery and dense materials.
Is a mezzanine right for your building?
A mezzanine is usually the fastest and cheapest way to add space if your problem is floor area under the roof. Three things decide whether it works: the clear height to the underside of the roof steel, what your floor slab can carry, and how goods and people will move between levels.
As a rule of thumb, around 5m of clear height gives two usable levels. The slab takes all the column loads, so we check it before we design. And if staff will work on or under the floor, Building Control will look closely at fire protection and escape, which we design in from the start.

What happens after you get in touch
Send the details
Floor size, clear height, postcode and what will go on the mezzanine, through the form, the guide-price tool, phone or WhatsApp.
Free survey
We measure the building, check the slab, doors, racking, lights and sprinklers, and agree the load and layout.
Design and fixed quote
Drawings, structural calculations and a written price naming the deck, stairs, gates and fire protection.
Approve, install, sign off
Building Control approval, steel fabrication, installation around your operation, then the completion certificate.
Sectors we work in
The steel may look the same, but the load, the programme and the paperwork change with the building. These pages explain what we do differently.
Reviews
We only publish genuine reviews from customers whose jobs we have completed, with their permission. As projects finish, their reviews and photographs will appear here and on our Google profile.
Until then, the best way to judge us is the survey: we will tell you what your building, slab and load allow, what needs Building Regulations approval, and what a fair price looks like, before you commit to anything.

Questions people ask
What is a mezzanine floor?
A free-standing steel platform built inside an existing building to add a second level of floor space. It stands on its own columns fixed to the floor slab, and is used for storage, offices, production or retail.
How much does a mezzanine floor cost?
A typical storage mezzanine costs around £110–£220 per m² supplied and installed, ex VAT, including a staircase, handrails and a chipboard deck. Larger floors cost less per m²; heavy loads, fire protection and office fit-out cost more. Use our guide-price tool for your size.
Do I need planning permission for a mezzanine?
Usually not, because it is internal work, but you do need Building Regulations approval. In England, a mezzanine adding more than 200 m² of floor space to a shop selling goods does need planning permission.
How much height do I need?
Around 5m clear to the underside of the roof steel usually gives two usable levels. Lower buildings may still suit a storage mezzanine with less headroom on top.
Do you work outside the Midlands?
Yes. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham and install mezzanines across England, Scotland and Wales, grouping surveys by region.
Who carries out the work?
Work is contracted with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, part of the S&K Group, and carried out by our installation teams and specialist subcontractors working under our supervision, so you have one contract and one point of contact.
