At Mine’s A Pasty in Lymington, we recently completed a full flooring improvement project to enhance safety, hygiene, and durability within the shop. The existing flooring had become worn from constant daily use, and the business required a quick turnaround to minimise downtime. Our team removed the old surface, repaired and levelled the subfloor, and installed a robust commercial finish designed for busy food environments.

This project highlights our ability to deliver efficient, high-quality flooring installations for takeaway outlets and small food businesses where reliability and hygiene are essential.

Client Requirements

During our initial assessment, the shop owner had three key objectives:

A Cleaner, More Hygienic Floor

The existing surface was worn and difficult to clean. A new, easy-to-maintain flooring system was needed to support food hygiene standards.

Durability for Heavy Daily Use

With constant customer traffic and a busy working environment behind the counter, the flooring needed to be strong, slip-resistant, and long-lasting.

Minimal Downtime

The shop needed to reopen as quickly as possible, so the installation had to be completed efficiently without compromising quality.

Our Flooring Solution

To deliver a safe, durable and hygienic result, we completed the following:

1. Removal of Existing Flooring

We uplifted and disposed of the old worn flooring, creating a clean starting point for preparation work.

2. Subfloor Repairs & Preparation

Once the old flooring was removed, we carried out a full inspection and preparation process including:

• Repairing damaged or uneven areas
• Applying latex levelling compound to achieve a smooth, uniform base
• Priming the subfloor to ensure strong adhesion for the new commercial finish

Correct preparation is crucial in food outlets, where flooring must remain stable and easy to sanitise over time.

3. Installation of a Durable Commercial Finish

We installed a high-performance, easy-to-clean flooring system suitable for food retail environments. This material offers:

• Excellent durability under constant use
• Simple day-to-day maintenance
• A clean, professional appearance
• Improved safety for staff and customers

Project Outcome

The completed works provided Mine’s A Pasty with:

• A cleaner, safer shop floor that supports high hygiene standards
• A durable commercial surface suitable for heavy footfall and daily food preparation
• A more modern and professional appearance for customers
• Minimal downtime, with the shop quickly ready to reopen

The new flooring provides long-lasting performance, helping the business maintain a clean, efficient, and welcoming environment.
