FoodClean Offices
Saxilby
FoodClean, based in Saxilby, required an extension to their existing mezzanine floor within an active factory environment.
The goal was to increase their footprint to create additional high-quality office space while maintaining a professional, modern aesthetic that matched their existing facilities.
The Challenge - Working in a Live Environment:
The primary challenge was executing structural works within a busy, functioning factory. We had to ensure that the expansion of the mezzanine was carried out with minimal disruption to FoodClean’s daily operations, requiring strict health and safety management and a clean, organised site. By working around the factory’s existing workflows, our team and the FoodClean staff could both operate safely and efficiently.
This project required us to extend the existing mezzanine steelwork to create a stable, level platform for the new office area. The new structure and partitions also had to meet all building regulations for fire safety and sound insulation between the factory floor and the office space.
Key Features & Finishes:
The project was designed to create a premium, quiet workspace within an industrial setting.
High-End Glass Partitions:
We installed full-height glass partitioning to create a modern, open-plan feel. This allowed natural light to flow through the space while providing the necessary acoustic privacy for the office team.
Integrated Fit-Out:
From flooring to ceilings, the new space was finished to a high standard to match the existing office branding, ensuring the extension looked like an original part of the building.
Seamless Transition:
Careful attention was paid to the join between the old and new mezzanine sections to ensure a perfectly flush floor and a cohesive finish throughout.
The Result:
We successfully handed over the new office space on time, allowing FoodClean to expand their team without the need for a costly move or an interruption to their production. The addition of the glass partitions has created a bright, high-end workspace that overlooks the factory floor while remaining a quiet and professional environment.
Builder's Note:
"Expanding a mezzanine in a live factory takes more than just structural skill, it takes careful planning. We delivered a high-end office extension for FoodClean that looks like it’s always been there, all while they kept their business running underneath us."
