Expert Mezzanine Floors in New Milton, Hampshire

Moving premises is expensive, disruptive, and usually a last resort. We often talk to business owners who feel stuck because they've outgrown their floor space but love their location. A mezzanine floor is the ultimate 'build up, not out' solution. It's often much more cost-effective than a traditional building extension and can be installed with surprisingly little disruption to your daily operations. Imagine having a brand-new floor level ready to use in a matter of weeks, rather than months. Plus, because our structures are semi-permanent, they can even be modified or moved if your needs change down the line.

When you're putting tons of stock or a team of people on a raised platform, 'good enough' simply isn't an option. We take structural integrity seriously. RA Steelworks is UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This isn't just a badge on our wall; it means every piece of steel we fabricate is CE-marked and our processes are independently audited. Our coded welders are experts in their craft, ensuring that every joint and support beam meets the highest UK safety standards. When we finish a project, you'll have total peace of mind that your floor is built to last and fully compliant with Part A Building Regulations.

What are you planning to put on your new floor? An office space might only need to support 3.5kN/m², but if you're installing heavy machinery or dense storage, you might be looking at 10kN/m² or more. We don't believe in a 'one size fits all' approach. We calculate the Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) and carefully check the point loads on your existing concrete slab to ensure everything is safe and stable. From moisture-resistant P6 chipboard decking for offices to heavy-duty steel chequer plates for industrial use, we'll recommend the right materials for the job. We've got the expertise to integrate your new floor seamlessly with your building’s existing portal frames or structural steelwork.

We handle the entire journey so you don't have to juggle multiple contractors. It starts with a proper site survey here in New Milton to get the exact measurements. Our team then moves on to CAD design and structural calculations, ensuring the layout works for your workflow. Everything is fabricated in our own workshop before our mobile site welding teams bring it to your site for installation. We can even sort out the essentials like steel staircases, handrails, and pallet gates. Need fire protection? We can advise on 1-hour fire ratings, including suspended ceilings and column casings, to make sure your building control officer is happy.
