Industrial floor & wall coatings · Iron Wharf & both rail estates · crews around the clock
Floors that outlast the forklift that punishes them.
Ledger & Lift coats the surfaces a business is hard on: epoxy and polyaspartic floors laid over shot-blasted concrete, coved wall systems food auditors sign off on, line-marking that survives ten thousand pallet drags. Priced by the metre from a posted rate, scheduled around your shutdown, and cured before the first truck rolls back in.
Dust is the defect nobody audits: every floor we lay starts under HEPA-shotblast containment, and the adjacent production line keeps running while it happens. crews@ledgerlift.example · (555) 327-8841.
Services
Six systems, specified by the abuse
A floor is chosen by what lands on it and what drags across it. Every system below is priced by the metre on the sheet further down, and the specification names the one your floor needs — never the one the supplier is pushing.
Epoxy, three-coat
The warehouse standard: a primer that soaks the concrete, a build coat sanded flat, and a seal coat that shrugs off oil, battery acid and the aisle where the forklift spins. Ten-year wear warranty, in writing.
Polyaspartic, fast-cure
When the window is a weekend: full chemical cure in hours instead of days, laid at low temperatures, back in service Monday at 06:00. The premium that buys a plant its Monday.
ESD & conductive
Electronics assembly and solvent stores: copper grid, conductive primer, topped with a coating that bleeds static to earth — specified to the ohms your insurer asked for and documented for the audit.
Coved wall systems
Food-grade walls coved into the floor with no seam for a hygiene auditor to find: the coating runs up the wall and out of harm’s way, and the wash-down hits one continuous surface.
Anti-slip & safety decking
Mezzanine decks, loading ramps, the wet end of the wash bay: aggregate-seeded systems with documented pendulum ratings, because the slip that costs a comp claim costs more than any floor.
Line-marking & zoning
Hatched pedestrian routes, pallet grids, 5S colour codes — laid with laser-guided lines that stay put under ten thousand pallet drags, refreshed under contract while the floor is empty anyway.
The figures facilities managers ask first
How it goes
The cure is the schedule
A coating job is a chemistry experiment with a forklift waiting to happen. The timeline is fixed by material science; everything we schedule around is yours.
Day 0
Shot-blast & test
The concrete is shot-blasted under HEPA containment to a profile the primer can key into, cracks are chased and filled, and a moisture test decides the vapour barrier — the one step whose skipping every failed floor shares.
Day 1
Primer & build
Epoxy primer pushed into the profile while the dust is still settling, then the build coat — self-levelling, spiked-rolled, de-aired. The floor comes out flat enough to read a level off, and the cove runs up the wall while the batch is open.
Day 2
Seal & mark
The seal coat with its aggregate where the spec calls for grip, then the line-marking laid to laser: aisles, pallet grids, hatched zones. Lines go down on day two because the floor will never be this empty again.
Cure
Chemistry, then trucks
Foot traffic when the data sheet says, forklifts when the cure table says, chemicals when the system says — and not a shift sooner. The handover sheet lists every number, and the warranty starts from the day the trucks rolled, not the day we left.
The wall
Floors we handed back on time
The last floor company quoted nine days and took fifteen, and we ate the production stoppage. Ledger & Lift shot-blasted on the Friday night, laid the build coat Saturday, and the forklifts ran at 06:00 Monday as promised — the cure sheet was on my desk before the drivers were. Two years of twenty-tonne traffic and it still reads like glass.
Rates
The rate sheet, by the metre
Shot-blast, primer, build and seal are all inside the metre rate — the number you see is the number the floor costs. Night shifts and shutdown windows carry a stated uplift, never a surprise, and the mobilisation line is quoted once, in writing, before the rig rolls.
Three-coat epoxy, per m²$38
Blast, prime, build, seal; ten-year wear warranty
Polyaspartic fast-cure, per m²$54
Weekend windows, low-temperature lay, Monday service
ESD system, per m²$61
Grid, conductive primer, earthed topcoat, documented
Coved wall coating, per linear m$29
Food-grade, seamless into the floor cove
Anti-slip decking, per m²$46
Aggregate-seeded, pendulum-tested
Line-marking, per linear m$8.50
Laser-guided, 5S colours, drag-tested topcoat
Crack chasing & fill, per m$12
Chased, filled, keyed into the build coat
Night & shutdown uplift+18%
Stated on the quote, per shift, never a surprise
The ESD bay passed its insurance audit on the first visit because the paperwork was as finished as the floor — resistance readings per grid square, signed. Nobody else even offered readings.
They coved our wash-bay walls into the floor in one continuous coating and the hygiene auditor wrote “exemplary” in the margin of her own report. The floor drains actually drain now.
Priced by the metre off a posted sheet, on the internet, before they even visited. The visit changed the square metres, not the rate. Procurement asked me twice if I was sure.
Fair questions
Can you work while our line keeps running?
That is most of our calendar: HEPA containment around the shot-blast, phasing bay by bay so production never stops, and the fast-cure systems where a weekend window is all a line can spare. The quote phases it before you have to ask.
Our floor has a failing coating already. Strip it?
Usually yes, and properly: mechanical removal to sound concrete, dust extracted, slab moisture-tested before anything new goes down. Coating over a failing floor is how a two-day job becomes a story people tell for years — the test costs an hour and saves the slab.
What about moisture coming up through the slab?
Every job starts with a moisture test, and where the slab reads wet we lay a vapour-barrier primer and price it as its own line. It is the single most skipped step in the trade and the reason most peeling floors peeled.
How fast can you mobilise?
A floor plan and photos get a written quote in 24 hours; crews are two to four weeks out, with shutdown slots booked a quarter ahead. Emergency slip-hazard and line-refresh work jumps the queue — a floor that is dangerous does not wait for a calendar.
Do you do small floors, or only plants?
The metre rate holds from the single-bay garage to the 9,000 m² siding warehouse; the mobilisation line is what changes, and it is quoted once, plainly. Some of our ten-year floors are forty square metres.
The ten-year wear sheet
Every floor leaves with a cure sheet and a warranty that starts when your trucks do. If a floor we laid wears through inside ten years under the traffic it was specified for, the re-lay is ours — materials, containment, and the shutdown window included.
Send the square metres. Get the number.
A floor plan or even a paced-out sketch gets a written quote in 24 hours, metre rate to invoice total, shutdown uplift stated. crews@ledgerlift.example
