What happens at the survey?
The survey for commercial shop flooring in Durham covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Durham we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and shopping centre units and retail park stores.
What is included?
- Resin and polished concrete
- Recessed entrance matting
- Anti-slip finishes for wet areas
- Subfloor survey and levelling
- Commercial sheet vinyl and LVT
What should Durham owners check first?
- Kitchens and wet areas need a higher slip resistance rating.
- A poor subfloor shows through thin vinyl; levelling is worth paying for.
- Entrance areas should have matting to stop rain being walked into the shop.
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
