Why This Project Mattered

This project was driven by Health & Safety audit requirements. The existing floor no longer met modern H&S expectations, presenting increased slip risk, poor visual definition, and compliance concerns in a working automotive environment.

The client required a flooring system that could withstand vehicle traffic, heavy lifting equipment, oils, and workshop contaminants, while clearly improving safety for staff and visitors.

4M Floors UK was appointed to deliver a fully compliant, anti‑slip resin flooring solution, including waste removal and clear operational demarcation.

The Environment

Active automotive workshop
Regular vehicle movement
Heavy lifting and workshop equipment
Pedestrian walkways intersecting operational zones
Exposure to oils, moisture, and chemicals

This combination places high demands on flooring performance, slip resistance, and durability.

Our Solution

Deckshield ID Resin Flooring System

We installed Deckshield ID, a proven polyurethane resin system designed for demanding environments where durability, chemical resistance, and long‑term performance are critical.

Key benefits:

Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and workshop chemicals
High durability under vehicle traffic
Seamless, easy‑to‑clean finish
Suitable for safety‑critical environments

Anti‑Slip Finish

A textured anti‑slip finish was incorporated to significantly reduce slip risk, particularly important in areas exposed to moisture and oil contamination.

Deckshield QD Linemarker

To improve safety and workflow, Deckshield QD Linemarker was applied to:

Clearly define walkways
Separate pedestrian and operational areas
Improve visibility for staff and vehicle movement

The fast‑curing system minimised downtime and allowed the area to be returned to service quickly.

COSHH Waste Management

All existing materials and residues were treated as COSHH‑controlled waste.

4M Floors UK:

Removed all COSHH waste from site
Ensured correct handling and disposal
Maintained full environmental and safety compliance throughout the works

This was a critical part of the project and essential for audit readiness.

The Result

Significantly reduced slip risk
Improved Health & Safety audit compliance
Clear visual demarcation across the workshop
Durable flooring capable of withstanding heavy use
A cleaner, safer, more professional working environment

The upgraded floor now supports both operational efficiency and safety compliance, giving the client confidence ahead of ongoing inspections and audits.
