How do we plan the job?

The survey for commercial shop flooring in South Shields covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.

In and around South Shields we are usually asked to work on convenience stores and off-licences and boutiques and independent retailers.

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 South Shields owners check first?

  • 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.
  • Kitchens and wet areas need a higher slip resistance rating.

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.
