First Floors recently completed a mezzanine floor installation in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, for Reedbut Group, a packaging company that specialises in sustainable packaging and design. The client required additional operational space within their existing premises without the disruption and cost of relocating.
Our solution was to design and install a new mezzanine floor extension to create:
The full installation was completed within two weeks by a team of three experienced mezzanine floor installers, with a total project value of £27,000.
Reedbut Group operates within the packaging sector, where efficient storage and streamlined workshop operations are critical to productivity.
The business required:
Like many growing businesses in Buckinghamshire, Reedbut Group needed to maximise their existing footprint rather than incur the cost of moving to larger premises.
Following an initial site survey and consultation, our team designed a bespoke steel mezzanine floor system tailored to the building’s structure and the client’s operational workflow.
1. New Storage Area Above
The newly installed mezzanine floor created a robust and durable elevated platform designed specifically for storage. The structure was engineered to handle the required load capacity, ensuring safe and efficient use for packaging materials and operational stock.
By utilising the vertical space within the unit, the client effectively doubled their usable floor area without extending the building footprint.
2. Workshop Space Below the Mezzanine
The space directly beneath the new mezzanine was transformed into a functional workshop area. This separation of storage and workshop functions significantly improved operational flow and organisation.
The layout was carefully considered to ensure:
This approach demonstrates how a well-planned mezzanine floor installation can enhance both storage capacity and workflow efficiency simultaneously.
3. Fire Protection & Partitioning
Safety and compliance were central to this project.
We installed appropriate fire protection measures and partitioning systems to ensure the mezzanine met UK building regulations and fire safety standards. This included fire-rated materials and compliant structural detailing to provide reassurance for both the business and building control.
Our experience as professional mezzanine floor installers ensures that every project is delivered not just efficiently, but in full compliance with regulatory requirements.
The project was delivered over a two-week period by a dedicated team of three installers.
Despite the scale of the installation, we worked efficiently to minimise disruption to Reedbut Group’s day-to-day operations. Careful planning and phased installation allowed the business to continue operating while the mezzanine floor extension was constructed.
