Commercial shop flooring in Lancashire
From Lancaster to Chorley, we deliver commercial shop flooring for independent owners and multi-site operators across Lancashire, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
Commercial shop flooring is hard-wearing floor covering laid for heavy foot traffic: sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl tile, porcelain, resin and entrance matting.
Working in Lancashire
In Lancashire we mostly see cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants 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.
North West city centres and their surrounding towns have a strong food, drink and independent retail scene, with plenty of conversions of older shop units into cafés, bars and salons.
What does the work include?
- Recessed entrance matting
- Anti-slip finishes for wet areas
- Subfloor survey and levelling
- Commercial sheet vinyl and LVT
Planning and building control in Lancashire
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.
