Safe, Durable & Hygienic Flooring Solutions for Food Environments
Our seamless polyurethane resin and epoxy flooring solutions are perfect for the food and drink industry. They’re designed to withstand heat, impact, chemical cleaning, as well as incorporating anti-slip properties, while also meeting strict hygiene and food safety regulations. Our food grade flooring solutions are ideal for any food production facility that needs to meet HACCP principles.
Whether you run a small bakery or a large-scale manufacturing site, we’ll specify and install a flooring system that keeps your operation compliant, safe, and easy to maintain.
Our experienced installers work with leading polyurethane resin and epoxy flooring systems to deliver long-lasting results that meet the demands of:
- Food manufacturing and packaging
- Commercial kitchens and catering facilities
- Breweries, dairies and bakeries
- Cold storage and logistics centres
Every project begins with a detailed site assessment to ensure the right flooring specification for your food production facility, from heavy-duty polyurethane screeds to smooth epoxy finishes and slip-resistant safety flooring.
Why Choose Food Grade Flooring?
Food environments require resin flooring systems that support hygiene, compliance and productivity every single day. The right flooring system reduces the risk of contamination, minimises maintenance, and keeps your workforce safe in even the most demanding conditions.
A properly specified food-safe floor prevents dirt build-up, resists bacteria growth, and remains non-slip even in wet or greasy conditions.
Hygiene and Safety Compliance
Food grade flooring is designed to meet industry standards such as HACCP and EHEDG. Seamless, non-porous finishes prevent bacteria from taking hold, while coving and drainage options help maintain a clean, washable surface. These systems can withstand high-temperature washes and aggressive cleaning regimes, making them ideal for food processing and preparation areas.
Slip Resistance and Worker Protection
We specify floors with the right level of texture and slip resistance for each area, balancing safety with cleanability. From kitchens and bottling lines to loading bays, our anti-slip flooring keeps your team safe.
Strength and Chemical Resistance
Our epoxy and polyurethane systems are designed to resist thermal shock, impact, and chemical attack, ensuring your floor lasts for years with minimal upkeep. With heavy equipment, and spills from hot oils and liquids, a durable flooring system is essential for food production facilities.
Our Food Grade Flooring Options
Heavy Duty Polyurethane Screeds
Polyurethane screeds are ideal for food and beverage production areas. Designed for extreme durability, polyurethane screeds resist thermal shock from hot water washes, heavy impact from equipment, and exposure to oils, fats and cleaning chemicals.
We can supply and install heavy duty polyurethane screeds in a range of thicknesses, which provide a seamless, slip-resistant surface that remains easy to sanitise. They’re perfect for dairies, abattoirs, and high-traffic processing plants.
High Build Epoxy Floor Coatings
Epoxy coatings create a sealed, chemical-resistant layer ideal for light-to-medium duty food production areas. They’re cost-effective, quick to install, and available in a wide range of colours for zoning and compliance marking.
These coatings deliver excellent resistance to cleaning agents and can be renewed easily, helping you maintain hygiene and safety without major downtime.
Resin Bound Surfacing
Resin bound surfacing gives food production facilities a durable and attractive finish. Resin bound surfacing offers a smooth, decorative appearance with solid performance. Our resin systems can be tailored for slip resistance, making it suitable for food production and retail areas, staff facilities, and external loading bays where hygiene and presentation both matter.
ESD Anti Static Flooring Systems
Food production facilities that handle dry powders or electronic equipment benefit from anti-static (ESD) resin flooring. These systems safely dissipate electrostatic charges to prevent sparks or contamination.
Our ESD floors are engineered to combine static control with the same hygiene, durability, and cleanability demanded by food and beverage facilities.
Stainless Steel Drainage and Kerbs
No food grade flooring system is complete without the right drainage and edge protection. We install stainless steel channels, gullies, and kerbs that integrate perfectly with resin or screed systems to form a completely sealed, watertight environment.
This ensures efficient wash-downs, eliminates bacterial traps, and prevents damage to walls and equipment in high-moisture areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Food Grade Flooring
It’s normal to have questions about installing a new food grade flooring system. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive about resin and hygienic flooring for the food and drink industry.
What makes a floor “food grade”?
A food grade floor is one that meets the hygiene and safety standards required for food preparation or processing environments. These systems are seamless, non-porous and chemical resistant, preventing bacteria from growing in joints or cracks. Materials such as polyurethane and epoxy resin are commonly used because they can be cleaned easily and withstand thermal shock, impact, and regular wash-downs.
Which flooring system is best for my facility?
The right flooring system depends on your environment, the type of food production taking place, and the level of traffic or cleaning involved.
- Heavy duty polyurethane screeds are ideal for production areas exposed to high temperatures, impact, and chemical cleaning.
- High build epoxy floor coatings provide a smooth, durable surface for lighter-duty or dry processing zones.
- Resin bound surfacing offers a decorative yet robust finish for public or staff areas where appearance matters.
- Anti-static (ESD) flooring is recommended for facilities handling powders or sensitive electronic equipment.
We also install stainless steel drainage and kerbs to create a fully hygienic, seamless environment that supports efficient cleaning and long-term performance.
We’ll assess your site conditions and recommend the most suitable specification for hygiene, durability and budget.
How long does installation take?
Timeframes vary by system and site size. Smaller commercial kitchen installations can often be completed in one to two days, while large production areas may take longer or be completed in phases to minimise disruption. We also offer fast-curing resin systems that can be returned to service within hours where downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum.
Can food grade flooring be installed in existing facilities?
Yes. We regularly install resin and hygienic flooring in live environments. Our installers can work around production schedules or during off-peak hours to reduce downtime. Before application, we remove old coatings or tiles and prepare the substrate to ensure a strong bond and a long-lasting, seamless finish.
How easy are these floors to clean and maintain?
Food grade floors are designed to be low-maintenance and easy to sanitise. Their seamless surface means there are no joints or grout lines to trap dirt, and the materials are resistant to cleaning chemicals, hot water and pressure washing. Routine cleaning with standard hygiene products is usually all that’s required.
Are your floors compliant with hygiene regulations?
Yes. All our installations are specified and carried out in line with HACCP, EHEDG, and UK Food Standards Agency guidance. We work only with approved, industry-tested polyurethane resin and epoxy flooring systems to ensure full compliance and traceability during audits or inspections.
Do you offer drainage and coving as part of the installation?
Absolutely. We can integrate stainless-steel drainage channels, gullies, and resin coving into your flooring system for a completely sealed, watertight environment. This improves wash-down efficiency, eliminates bacterial traps, and protects walls and skirting from impact or moisture damage.
How long will the floor last?
With correct specification, installation and maintenance, a high-quality food grade resin or polyurethane floor will typically last 10-20 years. Longevity depends on traffic, cleaning regimes and environmental conditions, but periodic inspections and prompt repairs can easily extend the lifespan even further.
