Mezzanine floor installation for Bournemouth businesses
Bournemouth commercial premises are dominated by finance, retail and light manufacturing, and most of the buildings have far more height than they use. A mezzanine turns that empty air into floor area: a second level for pallet storage, picking, offices, staff welfare or sales space, built inside your existing envelope and removable if you ever move on.
We regularly work on units around Aviation Park, Nuffield and the surrounding trading estates, so we know the typical slab construction, eaves heights and access constraints before we arrive.

Building Regulations in Dorset
Rural South West sites often have limited crane access — our teams work with restricted-access erection methods. Our package includes structural calculations, general arrangement drawings, the fire strategy and the building control application — see our mezzanine building regulations guide.
Mezzanine floors Bournemouth — FAQs
- How much does a mezzanine floor cost in Bournemouth?
- A plain storage deck in Bournemouth typically runs £120–£190 per m² installed, with fitted office or retail decks at £220–£400 per m² once partitioning, fire protection and finishes are included. Location has far less effect on price than access, slab condition and out-of-hours working.
- Do I need planning permission for a mezzanine floor in Bournemouth?
- Usually not — an internal mezzanine within an existing building is normally permitted development. It does need Building Regulations approval, and Dorset building control (or an approved inspector) will want structural calculations and a fire strategy. We handle that submission.
- How quickly can you survey a site in Bournemouth?
- We normally survey Bournemouth sites within three to five working days and issue a written quotation with outline drawings inside 24 hours of the visit.
- Can you install without shutting our Bournemouth operation down?
- Yes. Phased, evening and weekend installations are routine where a warehouse, trade counter or shop has to keep trading. The programme is agreed in writing before you order.
