Café and Entrance Matt Replacement

M&S Culverhouse Cross

At M&S Culverhouse Cross, UFS was tasked with upgrading the café flooring and replacing the entrance matting to enhance both functionality and customer experience. Over time, heavy foot traffic and operational wear had caused the existing finishes to deteriorate, creating a need for a modern, resilient, and visually appealing solution.

Our scope of work involved uplifting the worn floor coverings, preparing the subfloor with advanced Murexin systems, and installing high-quality Tarkett tiles throughout the café. In addition, we replaced the entrance matting to ensure a safe, professional, and welcoming entry point for customers. This combination of technical precision and premium materials ensures long-term durability, compliance with safety standards, and a refreshed aesthetic that supports the store’s ongoing operations.

Delivering Functional and Stylish Flooring for High Traffic Areas

UFS approached this project with a focus on balancing durability and design. The café required a flooring solution that could withstand heavy daily use, while the entrance matting needed to improve safety and minimise the risk of slips and trips. By integrating Murexin subfloor preparation systems with Tarkett’s high-performance tiles, we delivered a solution that was both robust and stylish.

  • A strong foundation is critical to the success of any flooring project. UFS utilised Murexin’s advanced subfloor preparation products to ensure a smooth, stable, and moisture-resistant base for the new finishes. This included:

    • Careful uplift of existing flooring.

    • Full subfloor preparation with smoothing compounds.

    • Application of moisture protection systems to safeguard against future issues.

    This thorough preparation ensured maximum performance and longevity for the new flooring system.

  • For the café area, Tarkett tiles were selected for their resilience, ease of maintenance, and modern finish. UFS ensured precise installation, aligning tiles to maintain consistency across the space. The result is a sleek, functional surface that complements the retail environment and can withstand the demands of daily service.

  • The replacement of entrance matting was a key element of this project, enhancing both safety and aesthetics at the store entrance. UFS installed new matting complete with trims to ensure a flush fit, reducing trip hazards and supporting compliance with health and safety standards. This update not only improves functionality but also creates a strong first impression for customers entering the store.

  • All work was carefully scheduled and coordinated with M&S to minimise disruption to trading. UFS implemented phased working methods, ensuring that essential areas remained operational wherever possible. This proactive approach safeguarded customer access while delivering the project on time and to specification.
