How do I get a quote in Canterbury?

Just fill in the form on this page with your postcode, a few details of the job and any timing needs. If you have photos, they help us price accurately.

Will the floor take the weight?

It needs checking. Concrete ground-floor slabs in industrial units usually cope, but suspended floors, mezzanines, ramps, drain covers and older buildings can be a problem. We look at the route on the survey, spread loads with steel plates or timber where needed, and recommend a structural engineer's check if there is any doubt.
