At Westcroft Deli Café & Wine Bar, we recently completed a full flooring upgrade within their commercial kitchen. The existing surface had reached the end of its lifespan and required replacement to maintain hygiene, safety, and efficiency in a busy food-preparation environment. Our team removed the old flooring, carried out essential subfloor repairs, and installed a durable, slip-resistant commercial finish suitable for heavy daily use.
This project showcases our expertise in delivering flooring solutions for hospitality businesses, where safety, durability, and compliance with hygiene standards are top priorities.
Client Requirements
During the initial consultation, the café outlined several key goals:
Improve Kitchen Safety
A slip-resistant surface was essential to protect staff during busy service periods, particularly in areas prone to spills and moisture.
Hygiene & Ease of Cleaning
The kitchen required a seamless, easy-to-clean flooring solution that would help maintain high hygiene standards and withstand regular deep cleaning.
Durability Under Constant Use
With the kitchen operating daily, the flooring had to cope with heavy footfall, wheeled equipment, and the demands of a fast-paced food environment.
Our Flooring Solution
To deliver a long-lasting and compliant commercial kitchen floor, we carried out the following:
1. Removal of Existing Flooring & Full Clean-Down
We uplifted the old surface and completed a thorough clean of the working area, ensuring the subfloor was free from grease, debris, and contaminants before preparation began.
2. Subfloor Repairs & Preparation
A safe and durable finish relies on a perfectly prepared base. Our preparation included:
- Repairing damaged or weakened areas
- Applying a smoothing compound to level the entire surface
- Priming the subfloor to ensure strong adhesion
This process creates a solid foundation capable of supporting the heavy demands of commercial kitchen traffic.
3. Installation of Slip-Resistant Commercial Flooring
We installed a high-performance safety vinyl designed specifically for commercial kitchens. Key benefits include:
- Excellent slip resistance in wet and greasy conditions
- Seamless, hygienic finish
- High durability and resistance to daily wear
- Easy ongoing cleaning and maintenance
Project Outcome
The completed installation gave Westcroft Deli Café & Wine Bar:
- A fully compliant, slip-resistant kitchen floor
- A durable surface built for constant use and frequent cleaning
- A cleaner, more hygienic working area for staff
- A professional finish that supports the smooth running of their busy kitchen
The new flooring provides long-term safety and reliability, helping the café maintain its high standards of food preparation and service.
