Expert Mezzanine Floors in Eastleigh, Hampshire

When you're putting several tonnes of equipment or a dozen staff members on a raised platform, 'near enough' isn't good enough. We've seen a few DIY-style jobs over the years, and frankly, they're terrifying. Because we're UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2), every mezzanine we build is fully compliant with UK Building Regulations. We use CE-marked structural steel and our coded welders ensure every joint is rock solid. It’s not just about passing a building control inspection; it’s about making sure everyone working underneath that floor can get on with their day without a second thought for their safety.

Not all floors are created equal. If you're just looking to store some light packaging, a standard storage mezzanine might do the trick. But if you’re planning on installing heavy plant machinery or a busy retail showroom, the engineering needs to be much beefier. We talk in terms of kN/m² (Kilonewtons per square metre) to define exactly what your floor can handle. For instance, a typical office space usually needs about 3.5kN/m², whereas heavy industrial storage might require 10kN/m² or more. We also look at the point loads on your existing warehouse slab to make sure the concrete floor can actually support the columns we're putting in. It's this level of detail that prevents sagging floors and cracked foundations down the line.

We know that you can’t just shut down your operations for a week while we tinker with steel beams. Most of our clients in Eastleigh and Southampton need to stay productive while we work. That's why we do as much of the heavy lifting as possible at our own workshop first. We cut, weld, and prep the steel off-site using our CNC profiling equipment, so when we arrive at your unit, it’s more about assembly than a messy construction site. We're used to working in live environments and will coordinate with you to ensure our delivery and installation don't block your loading bays or get in the way of your forklifts. From the first CAD design to the final bolt, we handle the whole project so you can stay focused on your business.

Why deal with a national middleman when you can talk directly to the people fabricating your steel? Based right here in the area, RA Steelworks Services LTD provides a proper turnkey solution. We don't just drop off a kit and wish you luck. We carry out the initial site survey, handle the structural calculations, and manufacture everything from the main portal frames to the final pallet gates and cat ladders. Whether you need moisture-resistant P6 chipboard for a simple storage level or heavy-duty steel chequer plate for an industrial workshop, we’ve got the expertise to get it done right. If you’re based in Eastleigh, Winchester, or anywhere across the South Coast, we’re just a quick drive away.
