Typically high-volume, often with structural loading requirements, and always with a programme to integrate with steel, MEP and finishes trades. ### Who it's for Main contractors, developers, fit-out specialists, and self-delivering tenants. Anyone managing a commercial build where the floor is a critical path item, and where slippage costs the project tens of thousands per day. ### When it's needed New-build commercial. Industrial refurbishment. Retail change-of-use where the existing floor is wrong for the new use. Warehouse extension matching to existing level. Anywhere a residential-scale contractor can't deliver the volume or the loading spec. ### Why a professional matters Commercial pours are programme-critical. The crew that pours your floor decides whether the steel goes up on schedule, the cladding is weather-tight on schedule, and the tenant gets their handover on schedule. We've been the floor crew on South Wales commercial projects for three decades, we know what 'on time' means. The Cost Of Getting It Wrong ## What Commercial Floor Delays Cost Residential delays are inconvenient. Commercial delays are catastrophic. Here's the maths. ### What Goes Wrong -! #### Liquidated damages on programme slip Most main contracts carry LDs of £5k–£50k per week for handover slippage. A floor crew that can't deliver to programme can wipe out the floor budget in two weeks of penalty. -! #### Failed loading specification Industrial floors are designed to specific point loads and pallet weights. Pour the wrong mix or the wrong reinforcement and you have a floor that cracks, dishes or fails inspection within months of opening. -! #### Trade clash and abortive work Floor pour clashing with steel, MEP, or partition trades costs the contractor in standing time, rework and frustration. We integrate with the master programme, not the other way round. ### Common Mistakes - × #### Booking a domestic crew on commercial volume A two-man residential crew can't pour 1,500m² in a day. They'll try. The pour will fail. Use a contractor built for the volume. - × #### Skipping the engineer's loading review Mix design, depth and reinforcement must come from the engineer's loading schedule. We work from your drawings, not from a default mix. - × #### Treating the floor as a finishing trade The floor is structural. It is critical path. Programme it accordingly and integrate it accordingly. Our Process ## From Enquiry To Handover 01 ### Quick Phone Quote Call us with postcode, area and timing.

We attend pre-start, we attend trade co-ordination, we attend hand-over. ### Loading-Rated Mixes C30, C35, C40 mixes with fibre reinforcement or mesh as the engineer specifies. Floors designed for the loading, not for the catalogue. ### CHAS-Aligned Method Statements Full RAMS supplied on request. Permits managed. Site inductions completed by every crew member. ### SR2 Flatness On Large Pours Even on multi-thousand-m² pours, we hold SR2 flatness, critical for retail and leisure floor finishes. ### One Contractor From Prep To Sign-Off Prep, supply, pour, dappling, moisture testing, sign-off, one number, one programme, one accountability. Technical Detail ## Commercial Specification, Programme & Sign-Off Commercial pours are project management as much as concrete work. Here's how we deliver. ### Mix design and reinforcement Engineer's loading schedule drives mix strength (C30–C40 typical), depth (75–250mm depending on loading), and reinforcement (fibre, mesh, or both). We supply mix design and delivery tickets for every load, full traceability for building control and main contractor records. ### Joint detailing for large pours Day joints, movement joints, construction joints, and isolation joints all detailed to engineer's spec. Joint formers installed during pour, sealant strips applied after cure. Joint layout governed by pour geometry, loading and curing shrinkage, not by where it happens to be convenient. ### Programme integration Pre-start meetings, weekly programme reviews, daily site presence during pour weeks. We co-ordinate with steel, cladding, MEP, partition and finishes trades so the floor is poured when the building is ready and signed off when the next trade needs it. ### Warehouse, retail and leisure differences Warehouse: high point-load, FM2 flatness for VNA racking, fibre-reinforced typical. Retail: SR2 flatness for tile, vinyl, LVT, careful trade integration with shop-fit programme. Leisure: chemical resistance, slip resistance, often with falls to drains. Industrial: heavy point load, possibly chemical exposure, often with sealed surface treatments. ### Sign-off and documentation Flatness records, moisture test certificates, mix delivery tickets, RAMS and method statements all bundled into a handover pack. Manufacturer product warranties registered to the main contractor or end client as required.
