Commercial shop flooring in Merseyside
Our commercial shop flooring team works across Merseyside and the wider North West, taking projects from first survey to final clean in towns including Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport.
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 Merseyside
Most enquiries we get from Merseyside come from shopping centre units and retail park stores or salons, barbers and beauty clinics, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
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?
- Commercial sheet vinyl and LVT
- Porcelain and ceramic tiling
- Resin and polished concrete
- Recessed entrance matting
What approvals might you need in Merseyside?
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.
- 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.
