Mezzanine Flooring
How do you get your warehouse to earn more money without expensive extensions?What is a mezzanine floor?
Our Wakefield mezzanine floors are freestanding steel platforms accessed by stairways. Because they sit above your existing floorspace, you get to use the space above and below the mezzanine for a wide range of functions. The bigger the mezzanine, the more it could earn you.
What can I use my Wakefield mezzanine for?
All sorts of things. Use yours to:
- Increase storage space, perhaps for small items, or for products that aren’t suited to the racking used in the rest of the warehouse
- Free up space on the warehouse floor by taking business functions like admin or fulfilment onto the mezzanine
- Increase production/fulfilment space
- Add extra office space, training rooms or IT server rooms
- Create a showroom
Will I be able to install a mezzanine floor in my Wakefield warehouse?
You’ll need a building with at least 5.5m of height and a minimum of 2m headroom above stairwells. As long as you have those, we should be able to install mezzanine flooring in your Wakefield warehouse. Where you have lots more than 5.5m to play with, you could even install more than one mezzanine floor, giving you lots more potential to drive profit from your premises.
Benefits of mezzanine floors in Wakefield?
There are lots of reasons to choose a mezzanine floor. There are even more reasons to choose it over the alternatives.
- A mezzanine usually costs less than building an extension
- Adding a mezzanine floor is much less hassle – and far less time consuming – than moving premises
- Mezzanines don’t require planning permission
- Wakefield mezzanines add value to your warehouse. Even if you lease your premises, adding a mezzanine could help you come lease renegotiation time
- Mezzanines are quick to install, which minimises disruption
- You have complete flexibility of the size of the mezzanine – most businesses choose one that’s between a third and a half the size of the ground floor, but as long as it fits within the building, virtually anything is possible
I rent my warehouse – can I install a mezzanine?
You’ll need to check your lease agreement or talk to your landlord, but there’s usually no problem. They know that installing a mezzanine could increase the value of their warehouse for the future so they’re often keen to say yes.
Will installing a mezzanine floor in my Wakefield business change my business rates?
Possibly, but not always. If you use your Wakefield mezzanine floor for storage or general warehousing, your rates should remain unchanged. If any part of your mezzanine will be permanently occupied (e.g. because you’ve put offices up there), it may have an effect. Ask us about this.
