Hi-Level Mezzanine Floors

28/08/2026

Moving to bigger premises to accommodate a growing team costs far more than you'd think - not just in rent, but in disruption, lost productivity and the risk of losing staff who don't want to change their commute.

Doubling your space in an 8,000 sq ft building with a mezzanine costs a fraction of moving to a 16,000 sq ft site. Hi-Level handles everything from the initial quote to installation.

London warehouse space doesn't come cheap. With prime industrial rents at around £29 per sq ft, making your existing building work harder isn't just smart - it's commercial sense. A mezzanine floor lets you add usable floor area without taking on a larger unit, protecting your location and giving your operation room to grow. We've worked with businesses across Greater London - from Haringey to Brent - and we know what it takes to deliver on a live London site.

A mezzanine is not just a cost decision. It is a design and planning decision. Elements such as staircases, pallet gates, lifts, fire protection and integration with existing services all contribute to the final specification. Changes to these later in the process often increase cost and programme.

Taking the time to define requirements at the outset leads to more accurate budgeting and smoother delivery.

We have summarised the key considerations in a practical guide.

What does a structural engineer do in a mezzanine company? For Johanna Baranda, it means far more than calculations.

From assessing additional loads on existing mezzanines to reviewing complex multi-tier designs, Jo works closely with estimators, project managers and production teams to ensure every structure is safe, compliant and built to perform.

Recently, she carried out detailed checks for a rare five-tier mezzanine installation, a technically demanding project requiring precision and collaboration across teams.

Every mezzanine we design is bespoke, and structural engineering sits at the heart of that process.

Johanna joined Hi-Level in December 2024 as a structural engineer. Her role is highly technical as she specialises in unusual mezzanines.

Not all warehouse robots interact with floors in the same way. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and AS/RS systems all place different demands on flatness, friction and durability.

AMRs, in particular, can travel thousands of miles each year along optimised routes, concentrating wear in specific areas. Without the right flooring, performance drops and maintenance increases.

Understanding how each system moves is essential when planning automation-ready infrastructure.

Retail parks are increasingly a destination - not just a shopping trip. Climbing walls, gyms, coffee shops, restaurants. Brands like Hotel Chocolat are scheduling all new stores to open on retail parks.

And mezzanines play a key part in making them work. From stunning customer-facing designs with smart glass and glistening handrails, to practical back-end storage that keeps shelves full - a mezzanine transforms what a retail park unit can do.

Automation is no longer a future ambition for warehouses. It is a practical response to rising labour costs and ongoing recruitment challenges.

Currently, only 10–15% of global warehouses use robotics, according to the UK Warehousing Association, but adoption is accelerating as technology becomes more accessible and cost-effective.

As automation increases, warehouse infrastructure must be designed with precision. Floor flatness, vibration control and load performance become critical where autonomous mobile robots and conveyor systems operate continuously.

The warehouse robotics market is expected to exceed $21 billion by 2030, highlighting how quickly automation is becoming standard practice rather than an exception.

Well-designed mezzanine floors play a key role in supporting this shift, providing automation-ready platforms that can carry conveyors, robotics and integrated handling systems while allowing future upgrades as operations evolve.🔗 Learn more about automation-ready mezzanine design:
