Years
Experience in Industrial Flooring

Workshops and garages rely on clean, predictable flooring to maintain safe working conditions around lifts, tooling, vehicle movement and inspection bays. We support everything from small local garages to large service centres with solutions that control staining, reduce unevenness and simplify day-to-day upkeep.

Right arrow Flooring Requirements in Automotive Workshops

Automotive workshops handle vehicle repairs, inspections, diagnostics and maintenance work throughout the day. Floors must support two-post lifts, scissor lifts, axle stands, tyre machines, rolling roads and wash-down processes. Oil drips, brake fluid, coolant and cleaning agents are common, so the surface needs to resist staining and remain easy to wipe down.

Many workshops choose polished concrete for its clean appearance and reduced dust levels, while MOT centres and dealer service bays often require reinforced slabs or local resurfacing to manage lift anchor points and frequent vehicle movement.

  • Vehicle lift loading requiring stable slab depth and reinforcement.
  • Frequent fluid spills from servicing work needing easy-clean surfaces.
  • Tyre turning marks where vehicles manoeuvre into service positions.
  • Need for clear markings around bays, pits and technician walkways.
  • Consistent floor levels to support jacks, stands and alignment equipment.

Right arrow Flooring Issues in Automotive Workshops & Garages

Workshop floors face constant fluid exposure, mechanical loading and turning forces from vehicles. Over time these conditions can create surface problems that slow workflow, increase cleaning time or affect lift performance.

Surface deterioration around vehicle lifts and anchor points

Oil-soaked patches causing long-term staining and odour

Uneven surfaces affecting jacking and alignment equipment

Tyre scuffing and abrasion in turning areas and entrances

Joint breakdown in service lanes and wash-down zones

Local chipping where tools and components are dropped

Our Process

How We Improve Flooring in Automotive Workshops

Contact us

STEP 1

Assessment and
Review

We assess lift positioning, vehicle entry points, fluid-prone areas and movement patterns. This highlights the forces acting on the slab and identifies areas where the floor needs reinforcement, repair or resurfacing.

STEP 2

Specification and
Preparation

We set out a flooring plan using concrete slabs, polished concrete or resurfacing systems, including reinforcement around lift pads and repair work in high stress areas.

STEP 3

Execution and
Improvement

Works are scheduled around opening hours to minimise disruption. We repair local damage, rebuild affected bays and apply resurfacing solutions to provide a cleaner, safer and more functional workshop floor.

BS 8204

All flooring works follow BS 8204 guidance for surface regularity, supporting consistent slab levels beneath lifts, jacks and inspection tools.

BS EN 206

Concrete works follow BS EN 206 principles for mix control and curing, helping ensure reliability in areas exposed to fluid spills and vehicle movement.

CSCS Certified

Our teams hold CSCS accreditation and work safely around operational workshops, ensuring clear access for staff and vehicles throughout the project.

SMAS Worksafe

We meet SSIP and SMAS Worksafe requirements, supporting structured safety management across every workshop flooring project.

FAQ

Automotive Workshop Flooring
Questions We Often Receive

Do you reinforce flooring around vehicle lifts and anchor points?
Yes. Vehicle lifts place concentrated force on specific anchor points, and poorly supported slabs can crack or move over time. We assess the depth and strength of your existing slab, reinforce weak areas and rebuild sections if necessary. This ensures the lift has a reliable base and reduces long-term movement, which helps keep equipment calibrated and safe for daily use.
Can you fix oil-soaked and stained workshop floors?
We can restore oil-contaminated floors by removing affected material, degreasing the area and installing a resurfacing system designed to stop future absorption. This improves appearance, reduces odours and prevents spill areas from becoming slippery. Workshops with ongoing fluid exposure often benefit from polished concrete or a resurfaced finish that simplifies cleaning and resists future staining.
What flooring works best in MOT and inspection bays?
MOT bays require level, dependable flooring for jacks, alignment tools and inspection equipment. Many MOT centres use reinforced concrete with a polished or sealed surface to maintain visibility and reduce dust. Where older floors have become uneven or worn, resurfacing can restore levelness and create a clean, consistent working area without replacing the entire slab.
Can you work while the workshop remains open?
Yes. We plan works around business hours and isolate small sections at a time so the workshop can continue operating. We coordinate schedules with technicians to avoid blocking access to lifts, pits or service areas, making it possible to complete the project with limited downtime.
Do you handle flooring upgrades for new workshop layouts?
We can support layout changes by reviewing lift locations, equipment positions and access routes. This allows us to propose slab strengthening, resurfacing or new installation where needed. Whether you're adding new lifts, reconfiguring service bays or expanding operations, we ensure the floor supports your future workflow effectively.
