Fixed proposal for the agreed scope · Access and handover confirmed in writing
Handover planned around your operation
What it is designed to achieve
A coating should solve a defined problem.
Protective coatings can improve cleanability, renew a worn finish and create a sacrificial wear layer. They must also be compatible with the floor and its use. We assess, prepare and sample where appropriate before recommending a system.
Substrate-led specification
The coating is selected for the existing floor, traffic level, contamination risk and maintenance regime.
Preparation included
Cleaning and mechanical preparation are treated as part of the system, not an optional extra.
Cure time programmed
Access and handover are agreed around product cure requirements and your operational window.
Finish and aftercare recorded
Handover documents the applied system and the maintenance approach needed to protect it.
When to consider this service
Signs the floor needs a closer assessment.
- A restored floor needs a compatible wear layer
- Traffic or cleaning demands have changed
- The finish must be easier to maintain
Floors and environments covered
Compatible resilient and hard floors following substrate, traffic and maintenance assessment.
Operational and curing considerations
Timing depends on floor condition, preparation, area size, drying or curing requirements and the access available. These are confirmed in the written proposal before work is agreed.

Questions, answered
What facilities teams ask us.
If your question isn’t covered, the assessment is the fastest way to a straight answer — free and without obligation.
Which floors can receive a protective coating?
Suitability varies by system but may include sound vinyl, linoleum, LVT and other compatible resilient surfaces. We confirm adhesion, contamination and substrate condition first.
Will a coating change the floor appearance?
It can. Clear, matt, satin, gloss and coloured systems are available for different substrates. We agree the appearance and can prepare a sample area where useful.
Can a coating improve slip performance?
Some systems can influence measured slip performance, but the correct response depends on the floor and conditions. Where slip potential is the concern, assessment and testing should inform the specification.
How long before the floor can be used?
That depends on the product, temperature, humidity and traffic requirement. Cure time is stated in the proposal and built into the agreed handover programme.
