Mezzanine floor installation for St Albans businesses
St Albans commercial premises are dominated by offices, studios and smaller trade units, 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 Porters Wood, Hatfield Road and the surrounding trading estates, so we know the typical slab construction, eaves heights and access constraints before we arrive.

Mezzanine floors St Albans — FAQs
- How much does a mezzanine floor cost in St Albans?
- A plain storage deck in St Albans 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 St Albans?
- Usually not — an internal mezzanine within an existing building is normally permitted development. It does need Building Regulations approval, and Hertfordshire 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 St Albans?
- We normally survey St Albans 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 St Albans 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.
