Commercial shop flooring contractors in Hertfordshire
Our commercial shop flooring team works across Hertfordshire and the wider East of England, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Hatfield, St Albans, Watford.
Commercial shop flooring is hard-wearing floor covering laid for heavy foot traffic: sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl tile, porcelain, resin and entrance matting.
Local projects in Hertfordshire
In Hertfordshire we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises and salons, barbers and beauty clinics. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
The East of England mixes historic market towns with new town centres and retail parks, which means a shopfitter here is as likely to work on a listed frontage as on a modern shell unit.
What does the work include?
- Subfloor survey and levelling
- Commercial sheet vinyl and LVT
- Porcelain and ceramic tiling
- Resin and polished concrete
What approvals might you need in Hertfordshire?
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.
- Entrance areas should have matting to stop rain being walked into the shop.
- Kitchens and wet areas need a higher slip resistance rating.
