Are there any restrictions on mezzanine floors?
There are no size, shape or height restrictions, other than the restrictions imposed by the dimensions of your building. Our mezzanine floors are custom designed and built to suit your specific requirements and can be supplied with multiple tiers if required.

Will my building need to be altered structurally to accommodate the mezzanine floor?
No. a mezzanine floor bolts to your existing floor and is otherwise completely freestanding.

Will having a mezzanine floor installed in my building affect my business rates?
It is a possibility - it may. As part of your planning you should check with your local council or landlord to make sure you are not surprised by any costs after installation.

How long does it take to install a mezzanine floor?
This depends on the size of the job in question, but to illustrate the process, we generally operate using the following schedule:

• Site survey
• Design using CAD and production of specification
• Agreement of specification, drawings and terms between Mezzanine Floors (Hull) Ltd and our customer
• Manufacture and purchasing of all structural and ancillary elements
• Installation on site of your new Mezzanine Floor
• Client sign off

What about building regulations and other legal requirements?
Mezzanine Floors (Hull) Ltd can handles all building regulations, fire regulations and any other legal aspect that is relevant to your mezzanine floor installation if you require us to do so.

Is the design approved before installation begins?
All drawings and other elements of the specification are approved by you the client before we commence with installation.

What if I want to change the layout during construction?
Modifications to the Design and layout of your mezzanine floor can be introduced at any time during the installation, but beware! This will result in additional costs and may delay the anticipated finish deadline. Once structure steelwork has started, any amendments to the job that are required by the client must be approved by Mezzanine Floors (Hull) Ltd, as changes to the schedule may impact upon other work.

Whose responsibility are the fixtures and fittings?
Mezzanine Floors (Hull) Ltd will install the complete mezzanine floor system, with stairs and stairways, handrails and banisters, balustrades, pallet gates, ladders and safety rails, but we do not install floor coverings or any other fixtures. Although we can recommend reputable companies for these services, generally these will be East Yorkshire companies and the client may find it more cost-effective and convenient to use companies local to where the mezzanine floor is installed.

OK. So what does it cost?
There are so many parameters to consider that we cannot give an accurate figure without a detailed site survey. The final quotation will depend on size, anticipated load requirements and number of facilities such as stairways and pallet gates. If required, Mezzanine Floors (Hull) Ltd can provide a basic ball-park figure for a feasibility study as part of a larger project, although this service would still require a site visit and the estimated figure cannot be considered to be a definitive quotation.

What do I have to do in preparation for the Mezzanine Floors (Hull) Ltd installation team’s arrival?
The area where the mezzanine floor is to be installed must be cleared as completely as possible, as must the access to the site. Things in the way and blockages to passageways and doorways are not just inconvenient, they contravene health and safety guidelines.

Can the mezzanine floor be used for uses other than just storage?
Yes – we install mezzanine floors for a variety of applications including retail stores, office accommodation, night clubs, etc. Please note – some situations may require fire protection and additional means of escape.

Do you provide fire protection if it is required?
Yes. Fire protection levels are determined by the requirements and location of the installation and uses appropriate materials that bring your mezzanine floor up to current fire regulation standards.
