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 through constant daily use, and the business required a quick turnaround to minimise downtime. Our team managed the entire process, removing the old surface, repairing and levelling the subfloor, and installing a robust commercial floor finish designed specifically for busy food environments.

During the initial assessment, the shop owner explained that the existing surface was difficult to clean and no longer supported the hygiene standards required in a food retail setting. A new flooring system was needed that would be easy to maintain, slip-resistant, and capable of coping with heavy daily use from staff and customers alike. In addition, the work needed to be completed efficiently so the shop could reopen as quickly as possible without compromising on quality.

Once the old flooring had been uplifted and disposed of, we carried out a full inspection of the subfloor to identify any underlying issues. Damaged and uneven areas were repaired before a latex levelling compound was applied to create a smooth, uniform base. The subfloor was then primed to ensure strong adhesion for the new commercial flooring. Correct preparation at this stage is essential in food outlets, where flooring must remain stable, hygienic, and easy to sanitise over time.

With the base fully prepared, we installed a high-performance commercial flooring system suitable for food retail environments. This flooring was selected for its durability under constant use, ease of day-to-day cleaning, and clean, professional appearance. The new surface also provides improved safety for staff working behind the counter and customers moving through the shop during busy periods.

The completed works have provided Mine’s A Pasty with a cleaner, safer shop floor that supports high hygiene standards and daily food preparation. The new flooring offers a durable commercial surface capable of handling heavy footfall while significantly improving the overall appearance of the space. Thanks to careful planning and efficient installation, downtime was kept to a minimum, allowing the business to reopen quickly and continue serving customers.

We regularly install flooring in takeaways, cafés, bakeries, and other food retail environments across Hampshire and Dorset. Our team understands the importance of hygiene and safety compliance, fast installation times, durable slip-resistant materials, and precise subfloor preparation.
