Durable, hard-wearing floor coatings for warehouses, factories and logistics sites across the UK — protecting the floor, lifting slip resistance, and keeping it back in use fast.
C&R installs hard-wearing floor coatings for warehouses, factories and logistics sites across the UK — protecting concrete floors against heavy daily traffic, improving cleanability and grip, and giving working areas a clean, durable finish that lasts.
With over 30 years' experience, we specify the coating build that fits your floor, your traffic and your operating hours — epoxy and polyurethane systems for lasting protection, and fast-cure resins where downtime has to stay short. Whether you're upgrading worn floors or coating a new build, we handle the full job, from surface preparation to the finished surface.
Our teams work around your shift patterns and operational constraints to minimise downtime, maintain access where possible, and leave a sound, slip-rated finish that stands up to forklifts, foot traffic and washdowns.
We understand the realities of live warehouse and factory floors — heavy traffic, tight turnarounds, washdowns and high safety expectations. Every coating is specified to balance durability, grip, and how soon the area has to be back in use.
Floor coatings work as a system, not a single product — a base that bonds to the concrete, a topcoat that takes the wear, and faster-curing options where downtime has to stay short. We specify the build that fits your floor, your traffic, and your operating hours, and explain the trade-offs before you commit.
A two-part system that bonds tightly to concrete and builds thickness, curing to a hard, chemical- and abrasion-resistant finish. The durable base layer in most warehouse floor build-ups.
Best for Production areas, storage zones, and floors that take heavy, daily wear.
Laid over epoxy as the finished surface — flexible enough to handle vibration and temperature change, UV-stable so it won't yellow, and longer-lasting against abrasion than epoxy alone.
Best for High-traffic routes, areas with movement or thermal change, and a clean, lasting finish.
A rapid resin system that cures in around two hours and works in cold conditions, right down to cold-store temperatures. It reopens areas the same shift, which keeps disruption down on live sites.
Best for Internal line markings, cold stores, and floors that can't take downtime.
These often work together as a system — for example an epoxy base with a polyurethane topcoat — rather than as rival choices. Here's what each one is best at and how soon it's back in use, so you can see why we specify the build-up we do. Typical figures; cure times depend on temperature and floor conditions.
| System | Back in use | What it's best at | Typically used for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-pack epoxy | Light traffic 18–36 hrs; full cure 5–7 days | Hard, chemical- and oil-resistant; bonds to concrete | Internal heavy-wear floors; the bonding and build layer |
| Polyurethane (PU) | Foot traffic 2–4 hrs; cures 24–48 hrs | UV-stable and flexible; long abrasion life | Topcoat over epoxy; areas with movement or sunlight |
| Polyaspartic | Light traffic about 6 hrs | Very fast; cures down to −10°C | Cold stores and rapid-reopen jobs |
| MMA / methacrylate | Light foot traffic about 2 hrs | Fastest and coldest of the set; reopens the same shift | Decks, cold stores and jobs that can't close for long |
On a working floor where people and vehicles share the space, slip resistance isn't a matter of opinion — it's measured. The recognised UK method is the pendulum test, which copies the way a heel strikes the floor and is carried out both dry and wet, because a surface that feels fine dry can be dangerous once it's wet. The result is a Pendulum Test Value, or PTV.
36+
The level to aim for.
A PTV of 36 or higher is the level the HSE associates with a low chance of slipping. It's the benchmark we work towards on wet or high-risk areas.
25–35
Slips become more likely.
In this band the chance of a slip climbs. It's worth improving on routes that regularly get wet or take a lot of foot traffic.
0–24
A slip is far more likely.
These are the surfaces an anti-slip floor finish is designed to fix — raising the grip to a safer level where people walk and work.
Tested wet and dry. Where a floor regularly gets wet, the wet reading is the one that counts — a surface can be safe dry and slippery once wet.
It's a legal duty. The Workplace Regulations 1992 require floors to be in good condition and not so slippery that they put people's safety at risk.
You may see R-ratings too. The German R9–R13 ramp rating is sometimes quoted, but in the UK the pendulum test and its PTV are the recognised measure.
We combine decades of hands-on floor-coating experience with technical precision to deliver a surface that lasts — whatever the size, traffic or condition of your floor.
Over 30 years of surface-preparation and floor-coating experience across industrial, logistics and commercial sites.
We use industry-leading materials such as epoxy, MMA, and polyurethane for maximum longevity in demanding environments.
All markings comply with HSE standards and warehouse safety regulations, helping you maintain a safe, compliant workplace.
We work around your operations, scheduling projects to minimise downtime and maintain productivity.
A few recent warehouse and factory projects we've delivered across the UK — prepped, marked and back in use fast.
South Coast
A fast-curing, low-odour UV system that reopens zones within minutes of application — operational walkways defined with no shutdown and no solvent smell.

Every C&R project meets strict UK safety, environmental, and quality standards. We invest in staff training and modern equipment to maintain exceptional precision, safety, and professionalism across all line marking services.
That includes registration to National Highway Sector Scheme 7 (NHSS 7) — the national quality scheme for road markings and road studs on the public highway, and the standard a contractor must hold to work on the strategic road network.
Our accreditations demonstrate our ongoing commitment to safe, compliant commercial marking and environmental responsibility.
