Asked and answered
- How much does a mezzanine floor cost in the UK?
- Installed, and including the structural design and building regulations approval, a storage mezzanine works out at roughly £185 to £500 per square metre. In whole numbers that is about £15,500 to £25,500 for a 50m² floor and £185,500 to £282,500 for 1,000m². Larger floors cost less per square metre because the design and approval work is much the same whatever the area. Floors built for offices rather than storage cost substantially more, because they also take partitions, a ceiling, lighting, power and cooling. Indicative only, and not a quotation. Prices depend on the condition of your slab, the access to your building and what building control requires, none of which can be established without a survey.
- What is included in a mezzanine floor price?
- A complete price covers the steel structure, the floor build-up, installation, staircases, handrail to the open edges, gates wherever pallets are loaded up, fire protection to the underside of the deck, and the structural design and building regulations application. A price that looks unusually low is often missing the fire protection or the building regulations work, both of which are needed before the floor can be used, so the two are worth checking line by line when comparing quotes.
- Is a mezzanine cheaper than moving to a bigger unit?
- Almost always, for the same floor area gained. Industrial units are rented on floor area but priced on volume, so a mezzanine buys space out of height that is already being paid for. There is no lease to renegotiate, no dilapidations, no move, and no interruption to trading. The comparison worth making is the total cost of the floor against the rent difference over the remaining lease term.
- How accurate are these figures?
- They are accurate enough to budget with and to tell whether a mezzanine is worth pursuing, and no more than that. They assume a sound slab, ordinary access and a rectangular floor. A survey is what turns a range into a fixed price, because it establishes what the slab will take, what is in the way, and what building control will ask for. Indicative only, and not a quotation. Prices depend on the condition of your slab, the access to your building and what building control requires, none of which can be established without a survey.

A survey measures to the real obstructions, checks what the slab will take, and puts a fixed proposal in writing. It costs nothing to find out where you stand.
