Are You Planning a Mezzanine Floor Installation?
At Mezz One, we understand that investing in a mezzanine floor is a big decision for any business. Whether you’re expanding your warehouse, creating additional office space, or improving workflow efficiency, a mezzanine floor can transform how you use your existing footprint—without the cost of relocating.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the mezzanine floor installation process from start to finish, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage. With decades of experience across retail, industrial and commercial sectors, our team at Mezz One is here to make the process straightforward and stress-free.
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Site Survey
The mezzanine floor installation process always begins with a detailed consultation. During this phase, one of our experienced project managers will visit your premises to:
- Understand your space requirements and objectives
- Measure up the area for feasibility
- Identify any structural limitations or access restrictions
- Assess fire safety, lighting and building control considerations
This visit helps us determine what type of mezzanine structure would be most suitable—be it single or multi-tier, storage-focused, office-based, or for specialist use.
We’ll also ask key questions around timelines, operational hours, and any site-specific requirements, such as out-of-hours working or noise restrictions.
Step 2: Design and Specification
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary data, we’ll move into the design phase. At Mezz One, our in-house design team creates bespoke CAD drawings and 3D visualisations tailored to your site.
The design will incorporate:
- Load-bearing calculations
- Structural steel layout
- Staircases, handrails and edge protection
- Fire protection and cladding if required
- Integration with existing lighting, HVAC and sprinkler systems
We’ll work closely with you during this stage to refine the design, confirm finishes, and ensure it complies with all relevant building regulations. Our aim is always to create a safe, compliant and functional space that suits your day-to-day operations.
Step 3: Planning and Building Regulations
Depending on the nature of your mezzanine floor, planning permission may not be required. However, building regulations approval is essential in most cases.
Mezz One will manage this process on your behalf, liaising with building control to ensure:
- Structural integrity is approved
- Fire safety requirements are met
- Access and egress routes comply with current legislation
- Any necessary fire protection systems are in place
Our team has extensive experience working with local authorities, and we’ll keep you informed every step of the way to avoid unnecessary delays.
Step 4: Manufacturing and Scheduling
Once the design is signed off and approvals are secured, we move into the manufacturing phase. All mezzanine structures are fabricated using high-quality steel, with precision-engineered components for a perfect fit.
During this period, we’ll coordinate with you to schedule installation dates that minimise disruption to your business. Many of our clients continue operating while installation takes place, thanks to careful planning and phased delivery schedules.
We’ll provide a full project timeline, risk assessments, and method statements in advance, so you know exactly what’s happening and when.
Step 5: Mezzanine Floor Installation
The mezzanine floor installation process typically takes between a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the structure.
Our professional installation teams will:
- Deliver and position all structural components
- Assemble steel columns, beams and joists
- Install decking, staircases, balustrades and edge protection
- Fit fire-rated ceilings, column cases and other protective measures if specified
Throughout the build, we maintain a tidy and secure site, adhering strictly to health and safety regulations. We understand that many of our clients are running live operations, so we work efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Step 6: Final Checks and Handover
Once installation is complete, our project manager will carry out a thorough inspection to ensure every element of the structure meets our quality and safety standards. We’ll also coordinate a final sign-off from building control, where required.
At this stage, we’ll provide you with:
- Structural calculations and certification
- A maintenance and care guide
- Any warranties and documentation for your records
- Fire safety certificates and as-built drawings if applicable
We’ll walk you through the entire structure, answer any questions, and ensure you’re fully confident in using your new mezzanine floor.

At Mezz One, our service doesn’t end with the handover. We’re always on hand for future modifications, expansions, or maintenance support. Whether you need to add another tier, install racking systems, or adapt your layout, we’re here to help your space evolve as your business grows.
