Mezzanine Floors
If your business is running out of space but relocating isn’t the right option, a mezzanine floor could be exactly what you need. At Commercial Building Solutions, we design and install commercial mezzanine floors across Portsmouth, Hampshire and the South Coast, so businesses can create additional usable space within their existing building without the cost and disruption of moving premises.
A well designed mezzanine becomes a seamless part of your building. Because it works within the structure you already have, it gives you more floor area, improves how your space operates and opens up options that simply weren’t there before.
Why Choose Commercial Building Solutions for Your Mezzanine Floor?
Installing a mezzanine floor is a significant structural project, so it needs to be done properly. We bring over twenty years of experience delivering mezzanine floors in offices, warehouses and industrial units across Portsmouth, Hampshire and the wider South Coast. Because we work across all types of commercial and industrial environments, we understand the structural requirements, the compliance obligations and the practical challenges of working in a live building.
From the initial survey through to final handover, we manage the entire process. That includes design coordination, structural calculations, building regulations approval, installation and integration with your existing services. Since we handle all of this ourselves, you don’t need to manage multiple contractors or chase progress updates.

What's Included in Mezzanine Floors?
Every mezzanine floor we deliver is designed around the specific requirements of the building and the business using it. Whether you need additional office space above a warehouse floor in Portsmouth or a storage level within an industrial unit across Hampshire, we tailor the design to suit. Here’s what we typically cover:
Mezzanine Floor Design
Tailored designs based on your space, load requirements and how your business needs to operate, with practical functionality at the centre of every decision.
Structural Steel Framework
Robust steel structures engineered for commercial and industrial use, built for long term strength, safety and durability.
Staircases and Access Systems
Safe, compliant staircases, handrails and edge protection systems that suit your mezzanine layout and meet current regulations.
Fire Safety and Compliance
We deliver all mezzanine floors in line with Building Regulations and fire protection requirements, so your project meets current safety standards from day one.
Office Mezzanine Floors
Create additional office accommodation within your existing building, avoiding the cost and upheaval of relocating to larger premises.
Warehouse and Storage Mezzanines
Make the most of your vertical space with mezzanine floors designed for storage, racking and operational efficiency in commercial and industrial environments.
Integration With Existing Services
We integrate all building services into the mezzanine design so the finished structure connects seamlessly with what’s already there.
Managed Installation Process
We plan and manage every installation carefully, whether your building is occupied or operational during the works, with a consistent focus on minimising disruption.
How We Deliver Your Mezzanine Floor in Portsmouth
Every mezzanine floor project starts with a site visit. We look at the space, assess the structural options and give you honest advice on what’s achievable and what it’s likely to cost. There’s no obligation and no pressure, just a practical conversation based on what we actually see.
Once we’ve completed the survey, you’ll receive a clear, itemised quotation covering design, structural calculations, supply, installation and any associated building works. We also agree a programme with you upfront, so you know exactly when each stage happens and when the project will be complete.
On site, we manage everything. If your building is operational during the works, we plan the installation carefully so disruption stays to a minimum, maintaining safe access and working cleanly throughout. Mezzanine installations involve structural steelwork, which means the process needs to be managed properly. That’s something we’ve been doing for over twenty years, and it shows in how our projects run.
When the mezzanine is complete, we hand it over fully compliant, properly finished and ready to use. If you’re based in Portsmouth, across Hampshire or anywhere on the South Coast and you’re considering a mezzanine floor, get in touch to arrange a site visit.

Reviews
Posted on Seaspray FifteenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with CBS for over a decade on small and medium sized projects for BIMM University. They have always been consistent and work to a high standard. They have often helped me get out of problematic situations with last minute turnarounds.Posted on Lee BryantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used CBS on numerous occasions now for fit-out, refurbishment, construction and demolition works for large commercial spaces in Horsham and Burgess Hill and can't recommend them highly enough. They come with a wealth of experience and as well as helping to facilitate a pleasant and stress-free experience from planning, through execution, to completion, are an invaluable source of consultation. During all projects, they have always gone the extra mile to ensure the project is carried out in alignment with organisational requirements, ensuring all internal processes are followed at each stage. Additionally, they have an excellent network of sub-contractors to utilise, who have helped with many of our more specialist requirements. They also always maintain excellent communication, responding to requests and queries promptly, and have been very thorough ensuring statutory compliance is achieved at all times. Above all, all members of the CBS team are very personable and a pleasure to work with.Posted on Amy FeistTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re really grateful to Steve and the team at CBS for all the work they have completed at Havelock Community Centre. They’ve installed new LED lighting throughout the building, fixed some damaged flooring, and we’re now working with them on bigger projects planned for the end of summer, including new astro turf, new flooring, and other jobs. They’re friendly, professional, and always quick to respond with helpful ideas and solutions. The work is always finished to a high standard, and they’re a team we completely trust. Highly recommend!Posted on Tony BrewsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quick service, great quality. Very happy to use again.
