Spacelink has over 25 years of experience in mezzanine floor installation and the design and build of commercial mezzanines. From inspection and maintenance access areas, to small storage floors, multi-tier mezzanine floors for storage, production and office use, the range of applications are huge and our experienced team are here to make sure you get the right mezzanine floor for your building. We are highly experienced mezzanine floor installers working across the UK.
A mezzanine floor is a steel-based construction that is installed within an existing building or warehouse, situated between the floor and ceiling to increase available floor space. Effectively, it divides a space into two functional areas.
Mezzanines can be custom-designed to fit your specific needs and are held up by columns so the floor space below can still be used to its full capacity. The upper level can extend to nearly the full room’s footprint, allowing businesses to almost double the floor space in a cost-effective way.
Spacelink have provided interior fit-outs for warehouse conversions for over 25 years. Often, dual-purpose spaces require both a floor space for warehouse activity and a separated area for acoustically insulated offices, meeting or break-out spaces. Rather than incur the costs of separate premises, warehouse mezzanine offices are an effective solution. Utilising vertical space, warehouse mezzanine floors avoid intruding on essential production and warehouse activity below. Furthermore, warehouse mezzanine offices may be installed to move existing facilities to another level in order to free up space on the warehouse floor.
Mezzanine floors are a smart investment, and offer an ideal solution if you:
As businesses grow, so does the need for workspaces. Installing a mezzanine floor means you can get the extra space you need to carry out your business activities easily and relieve pressure without the need for horizontal expansion.
Mezzanines can create opportunities for designated zones in the workplace. For example, offices, storage, or breakout zones for employees. This will heavily reduce workspace clutter, improve safety, and enhance the overall workflow of the business.
Extensions and relocations can be extremely expensive. Mezzanines avoid these high costs and downtime by simply using the overhead existing space to increase the floor space. Mezzanines are generally much quicker to install than a full extension, so you don’t have to pause your business for too long.
Mezzanine floors are fully customisable. This means they can be designed to fit your business’s unique needs, from the need to accommodate specific workflows to the integration of lighting and other features.
As one of the best commercial mezzanine installation companies in the UK, Spacelink’s unrivalled and unique service offers the full range of services. From a precise, detailed, competitive and speedy quotation turnaround to a professional design service and first class installation as well as aftercare. We offer a complete design and build service for a whole range of commercial mezzanine floor options suitable for any commercial or industrial application.
The installation of a mezzanine floor can enable companies to utilise unused space above the main floor area which makes it an excellent alternative to moving premises to acquire additional space in order to develop and grow your business at a fraction of the cost.
As mezzanine floor installers we design each floor to meet your individual building requirements, maximising the space at the floor level without minimising the ground floor usage.
The initial survey and on-site dimensions are surveyed by qualified and skilled engineers to make sure we have the exact details we need to produce your design. As a mezzanine floor company we pride ourselves on not only delivering an outstanding level of design and workmanship but also delivering a project on time and on budget.
Yes, and it makes perfect sense to install them in this setting. For example, a busy warehouse floor where goods can be picked, packed and dispatched can sit below the mezzanine office space, which can feature acoustically protected offices, meeting rooms,breakout zones, storage, and kitchenettes.
The purpose of a mezzanine floor is to utilise vertical space. A mezzanine will cover a specific section of the floor without compromising the space below. Not only do mezzanine installations introduce a dynamic design, but they also bolster a sense of high activity in the workplace. We can also offer mezzanine floors for multiple other uses and business premises such as:
Mezzanine floors offer maximum storage space for businesses away from the shop floor, production line, or offices. This additional level to the business space helps to organise inventory effectively and improve access to the items.
Warehouses tend to have a lot of horizontal floor space, but generally, the vertical space is left untouched. Industrial mezzanine floors allow businesses to almost double their storage capacity without the need to expand or relocate to larger premises.
Office mezzanine floors offer a practical way to create more office space in industrial settings. Choosing a bespoke mezzanine, allows managers, admin staff, or design teams to work closer to operations, meanwhile having a quieter and more productive environment.
Retail stores can utilise mezzanine floors for stockrooms, offices, or staff facilities, especially in larger stores or showrooms. Retail mezzanine floors allow businesses to hold more stock as their customer demand increases.
Manufacturers tend to face space-related challenges, especially as they grow and operations expand. Mezzanine floors allow manufacturing businesses to increase their floor space that can withstand heavy machinery.
Breakout zones, kitchens, changing rooms, and training spaces are just some of the ways mezzanines can offer staff facilities for businesses. A mezzanine helps to separate these areas to improve employee wellbeing and productivity.
As well as installing your mezzanine and mezzanine staircase, Spacelink can take care of any electrical or plumbing work, office partitioning and decorating requirements. In addition, suspended ceilings may be worth exploring when a mezzanine floor is installed as lighting, insulation or acoustics may need improving, particularly if introducing mezzanine office blocks or meeting rooms.
Spacelink use Approved Inspectors for rapid processing of Current Building Regulations and Fire Officer approvals to ensure that all installations meet with the necessary requirements with a final certificate issued once an inspection has been completed.
We offer approximately a 4 to 6 week turnaround from date of order to completion of construction (dependent on size of floor).
A mezzanine floor can offer businesses many benefits, and is suited to a range of industries and business types. Here are some ways a mezzanine floor can improve your business:
Overall, whether your business needs more space, character, flexibility, or additional zones, a mezzanine floor can be a great addition to your business.
A mezzanine structure is typically constructed of four main components:
Columns reach from the floor to the base of the mezzanine. They’re the vertical support elements that hold up the floor and act as the ‘legs’ of the structure. They are usually made of steel and placed in a grid pattern so that weight is evenly distributed across the mezzanine floor.
Primary steels or beams support the rest of the mezzanine structure by spanning from column to column – essentially the backbone of the mezzanine’s load-bearing system. They’re typically made from universal beams and can be custom-sized based on the size of the mezzanine.
The secondary steels run perpendicular to the primary steels to support the mezzanine floor decking. They’re made from lighter steel sections and are spaced closer together compared to primary steels to evenly support the decking.
The decking refers to the surface of the mezzanine floor. There is a wide variety of options available for flooring to match the style and functionality requirements.
As well as the four main components of a mezzanine floor, additional features can be added in order to provide access to the floor for people and goods. Here are just some options available.
A staircase is the easiest and simplest form of access for staff and customers. As long as they meet UK standards, staircases can be added as access to your mezzanine in a range of styles, colours, materials, and shapes. This is to ensure the staircase meets your needs and aesthetics.
Lifts offer easy access for large goods and are designed to take the weight of heavy goods for safe transportation. Passenger lifts can also be added to ensure the mezzanine is accessible to everyone.
Pallet gates are positioned at the edge of the mezzanine level to transport pallets onto the mezzanine floor after being placed by a forklift below. The pallet gate will open to allow the pallet access and will close after the pallet has been placed.
Chutes offer quick transport of hand-held items from upper to lower levels. They use gravity to bring the item down quickly yet safely.
Conveyor belts move continuously to transport goods between the mezzanine levels. An item is placed on the conveyor and the belt does the rest of the work.
At Spacelink, our design team will work closely with you to understand the function of your mezzanine floor. This will include details like:
These will be the factors that will help to calculate the standard deflection for the floor as well as impact what it will be made of, and much more.
Our team of skilled engineers use a variety of materials like steel, concrete, fibreglass and timber to construct our commercial mezzanine floors. Our friendly team work with you to design, manufacture and install your custom mezzanine safely and efficiently. To ensure the satisfaction of every customer, we have a comprehensive process in place:
Our process begins with a site visit by our team of expert engineers who conduct a thorough survey of the area to take precise measurements, ensuring a perfect fit for your mezzanine floor.
Based on this data, we design a tailored solution that considers your specific needs, including load capacity, steel size, and any additional features required.
Once the design is complete, a technical drawing outlining all the specifications will be created and sent to you for approval.
Upon approval, our manufacturing team uses state-of-the-art equipment to build your commercial mezzanine floor to exact specifications.
Finally, our installation team installs the mezzanine floor at your site, ensuring it is safe and efficient.
The construction of mezzanine flooring comes with strict regulations. An assessment needs to be carried out by industry experts to ensure that the premise is eligible for mezzanine flooring – our engineers can ensure that Building Regulation approval is gained to ensure the installation is in line with the necessary standards. Planning permission is not usually required for this type of flooring, although there are exceptions, but we can assess whether this will be necessary before we commence the work.

Ensuring health and safety regulations are considered is crucial when it comes to installing a mezzanine floor. Building codes and safety standards must be followed. One important regulation to consider is fire safety.
If the mezzanine floor is being used for any purpose besides storage such as offices or workshops, it will need to be fire rated. Also, if the floor is greater than 20 meters each way or if it covers more than 50% of the warehouse floor where it’s being installed, it will need to be fire rated.
Additionally there may be the need to use fire resistant materials, the installation of fire doors and smoke detection devices fixed above and below the mezzanine floor. There should also be handrails present wherever there are stairs.
