Frequently Asked Questions
What benefits do mezzanine floors offer to warehouses?
In most cases, planning permission is not required for a mezzanine floor inside an existing warehouse, as it is classed as an internal alteration. However, Building Regulations approval is always required, covering structural safety, fire protection and access. In certain situations, such as listed buildings, change of use, or significant increases in floor area, planning permission may be needed. We’ll assess your site and advise you clearly from the outset.
What are my add-on options with our mezzanine?
Add-ons include conveyors, lifts, safety barriers, pallet gates, handrails, lighting, and fire protection systems, ensuring efficiency, safety, and compliance.
How can a mezzanine be designed to interface with automation?
Mezzanines can be designed with integrated conveyor systems, lifts, robotics, and picking stations to streamline material flow and optimise automated processes.
Do mezzanines need planning permission?
In most cases, mezzanines used for storage do not require planning permission, but factors like fire safety, structural integrity, and building regulations should be considered.
Can a mezzanine floor be added to or made smaller?
Yes, mezzanine floors can be modified, extended, or reduced in size, provided structural integrity and load-bearing capacity are properly assessed.
Do I need planning permission?
Yes, mezzanine floors can be modified, extended, or reduced in size, provided structural integrity and load-bearing capacity are properly assessed.
How long does installation take?
Installation times vary depending on the size and complexity of the mezzanine, but most projects are completed within 1–2 weeks once materials are on site. Smaller or simpler mezzanines can be installed even faster. We provide a clear programme before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
What fire protection is required?
Fire protection requirements depend on the mezzanine’s size, use and occupancy. This may include fire-rated ceilings, fire barriers, handrails, protected staircases, sprinklers or fire detection systems. All mezzanines must comply with current Building Regulations, and we work closely with Building Control and fire officers to ensure full compliance while keeping solutions practical and cost-effective.
Will my operations be disrupted?
We plan installations carefully to minimise disruption to your day-to-day operations. Work can often be phased or scheduled around quieter periods, and most customers remain fully operational throughout the build. Our installation teams are experienced in live warehouse environments and prioritise safety, cleanliness, and efficiency at all times.
