Expert Mezzanine Floors in Wilton, Wiltshire

Moving is a massive disruption that most business owners want to avoid. It’s not just the removal vans; it's the new address, the downtime, and the potential loss of local staff. A mezzanine floor is the most cost-effective alternative. We design these platforms to sit entirely independently of your building's main structure, meaning they are often considered temporary fixtures for planning purposes but built with the permanence and strength of a primary floor. From retail showrooms needing a second level to industrial units in Wiltshire requiring extra plant space, we tailor every beam and joist to fit your specific layout like a glove.

When you're putting staff or heavy stock several metres in the air, you need more than just a 'handyman with a welder.' Structural integrity is everything. At RA Steelworks Services LTD, we are fully UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1 and approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This isn't just a badge; it's your guarantee that every piece of CE-marked steel we use, and every weld our coded welders perform, meets the strictest UK safety standards. We manage the structural calculations and ensure everything aligns with Part A Building Regulations, giving your building control officer and your insurers total peace of mind.

What are you planning to put on your new floor? It’s the first question we’ll ask because the 'load-bearing capacity' dictates the entire design. For a standard office space, we typically look at 3.5kN/m², but if you're storing heavy pallets, you might need 4.8kN/m² or even 10kN/m² for heavy machinery. We calculate the Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) and consider the Point Loads on your existing concrete slab to ensure the ground can handle the pressure. It sounds technical, but we handle all the maths so you don't have to. We'll even advise on the best decking, whether it's moisture-resistant P6 chipboard or heavy-duty steel chequer plate.

We don’t believe in 'one size fits all.' Our process starts with a proper site survey at your Wilton premises. Our team then moves into CAD design, creating a bespoke layout that incorporates essential extras like pallet gates, cat ladders, and safety balustrades. Because we are expert steel fabricators, we cut and prepare your steel in our own workshop before our mobile site welding team arrives for the installation. This 'turnkey' approach means we can often work in a live environment, keeping your business running while we build above your head. It's about getting you that extra space with as little fuss as possible.
