Thornbury Warehouse
Floor Resurfacing & Overlays

We provide warehouse floor resurfacing and industrial overlay systems across Thornbury and North Bristol. Existing concrete slabs are refurbished using bonded self levelling compounds, polymer modified cementitious overlays and resin finishes, specified to improve levelness, durability and operational performance for logistics, storage and light manufacturing facilities near the M5 and A38.

Years
Experience in Concrete Flooring

Our Thornbury resurfacing work covers Midland Way, Thornbury Industrial Estate, Grovesend and estates along Gloucester Road, as well as nearby locations such as Alveston, Bradley Stoke and Aztec West. Facilities range from smaller trade units and workshops to larger regional distribution and service centres. We assess slab condition, complete structural repairs and install a bonded overlay that supports consistent MHE traffic and aligned racking layouts, in line with BS 8204 and BS EN 206 guidance for industrial concrete.

Floors in Thornbury

STEP 1

Slab Survey,
Repair and Preparation

We begin by inspecting the existing concrete slab, recording cracking, joint breakdown, impact damage, surface wear and any delamination or previous patch repairs. Thornbury units along Midland Way and Grovesend often combine older concrete and later extensions, so levels and surface finishes can vary. Defective areas are broken out and reinstated, joints are rebuilt where necessary and incompatible coatings are removed. The slab is then mechanically prepared using grinding, shot blasting and diamond tooling to achieve a clean, profiled surface suitable for a bonded warehouse floor overlay.

Overlay Application
and Level Management

Once preparation is complete we install the chosen overlay system. Options include polymer modified cementitious toppings, cement based self levelling systems to improve levelness and resin finishes where enhanced abrasion or chemical resistance is required. Overlay thickness and flow are controlled to reduce undulations and refine tolerances through racking aisles, pallet routes and loading zones in Thornbury warehouses and industrial units serving North Bristol and the M5 at junction 14.

Curing, Joints
and Handover

After installation the overlay is cured in line with manufacturer guidance and the agreed programme. On suitable schemes, fast curing products can allow controlled early access in roughly 24 to 48 hours, with full forklift loading and dense storage introduced once specified strength and hardness are achieved. Movement and construction joints are recut or reinstated to manage slab behaviour and reduce future edge damage. At handover we complete surface checks and provide maintenance and operating guidance suited to the Thornbury facility and its duty.

Substrate Condition
and Bond Performance

Thornbury’s industrial stock includes mixed age buildings and infill units, which often have varied repair histories and surface treatments. We focus on slab strength, moisture, contamination and surface profile so primers and bonding agents can work correctly. A well prepared substrate helps the overlay act compositely with the concrete, reducing the risk of debonding or surface movement under regular forklift and pallet truck traffic.

Programme Planning
for M5 and A38 Routes

Many Thornbury facilities support regional movements between South Wales, the Midlands and the South West via the M5 and A38. We plan resurfacing around delivery windows, trunking schedules and internal shift patterns, using phased work zones and temporary access routes where required. This reduces disruption while still allowing adequate time for preparation, overlay installation and curing.

Service Life
and Cost Efficiency

Removing and recasting a slab is disruptive and capital intensive, especially in occupied Thornbury units with installed racking, services and offices. Resurfacing allows the structural slab to remain where it is sound while renewing the wearing surface with a system suited to the site’s duty. This can extend floor life, reduce reactive patch repairs and provide a more predictable maintenance profile for operators serving the North Bristol area.

Right arrow FAQ

Warehouse Floor Resurfacing Thornbury
Common Questions

Do you work in smaller trade units as well as larger Thornbury warehouses?
Yes. We resurface floors in a range of building types, from compact trade units on Midland Way and Thornbury Industrial Estate to larger regional sheds serving the M5. The same principles of survey, preparation and bonded overlay application apply, scaled to suit the floor area and duty.
Can resurfacing be phased so our Thornbury site remains operational?
In most cases, yes. We divide the floor into phases so that only part of the warehouse or unit is taken out of use at a time. Work zones, access routes and possession windows are agreed around deliveries, trunking runs and local traffic constraints around Thornbury and the A38 corridor.
Is resurfacing suitable for older units with mixed repairs and coatings?
Often it is. We inspect the slab, remove incompatible coatings, repair weak or damaged areas and mechanically prepare the surface before installing a bonded overlay. Provided the base slab and sub base are structurally sound, resurfacing can restore the wearing layer without full slab replacement in Thornbury and nearby North Bristol estates.
What types of warehouse floor systems do you use in Thornbury?
We install cement based self levelling systems, polymer modified overlays and resin finishes. System choice is based on loading, wheel types, internal climate, cleaning regime and the level of surface regularity required for racking layouts and MHE routes in the Thornbury facility.
Can you improve levelness for racking aisles and pallet truck routes?
Yes. Self levelling and engineered topping systems can reduce local high or low spots and improve overall regularity, supporting racking tolerances and smoother forklift travel. This is particularly useful where Thornbury units have been extended or reconfigured and levels no longer align across the floor plate.
How soon can we reintroduce forklift traffic after resurfacing?
Return to service depends on the selected overlay system, thickness and temperature. Some rapid curing products allow controlled light use within about 24 to 48 hours, with full forklift loading and dense storage introduced once performance targets have been reached. We provide project specific timings for each Thornbury scheme so operations can be planned safely around the works programme.
What information helps you prepare a quotation for a Thornbury warehouse?
Useful details include floor area, slab age and condition, known defects, load and MHE types, access constraints, working hours and any planned layout or racking changes. Photographs or existing survey data also help us develop an accurate resurfacing specification and programme for the Thornbury site.
