Introduction
Rolec Services required a hard-wearing industrial floor coating for its facility in Boston, Lincolnshire. The existing 400 m² concrete floor was in satisfactory condition but had some untidy joints, so it needed preparation and a durable sealed finish that would improve appearance, cleanability and day-to-day performance.
Elgood Industrial Flooring was appointed directly by Rolec Services to ensure that the client’s preferred industrial floor system was installed. Elgood prepared the concrete using vacuum contained dust free shot-blasting before installing Britdura 750 Highbuild Solvent Free Epoxy Floor Coating in Clipper Blue.
The complete industrial floor project was delivered in a single three-day phase after Practical Completion, providing Rolec Services with a practical, attractive and easy-clean floor finish.
Background
Rolec Services needed an industrial floor that would provide a hard-wearing surface while remaining easy to clean and maintain. The brief also called for an attractive light-reflecting colour to improve the appearance of the working area and create a cleaner, more professional environment.
Although the existing concrete floor was in satisfactory condition, the untidy joints and general surface requirements meant preparation was important before the new coating could be installed. The floor needed a reliable physical key to support strong adhesion and long-term coating performance.
As British manufacturers and installers with more than 125 years of experience in industrial flooring, Elgood Industrial Flooring was able to provide a complete in-house service. The Britdura 750 system was manufactured, prepared and installed entirely by Elgood Industrial Flooring, removing divided responsibility and supporting a meaningful workmanship and materials guarantee.
The Challenge
The project needed to address several clear requirements:
Provide a hard-wearing industrial floor coating for a 400 m² concrete floor
Prepare a concrete floor in satisfactory condition with some untidy joints
Create a sealed finish that would be easy to clean and maintain
Install an attractive, light-reflecting colour
Use a trowel-applied flooring system at a competitive price
Include a built-in fine slip resistant finish suitable for scrubber dryer machines
Complete the works in one three-day phase after Practical Completion
Avoid divided responsibility by using one manufacturer and installer
The Solution
Elgood Industrial Flooring specified and installed a complete Britdura 750 Highbuild Solvent Free Epoxy Floor Coating system for Rolec Services in Boston, Lincolnshire.
Key elements of the solution included:
Vacuum contained dust free shot-blasting
Vacuum contained dust free shot-blasting was used to provide a physical key for the new industrial floor coating. This preparation method helped clean and profile the concrete surface, creating the correct base for strong adhesion of the Britdura 750 system.
Britdura 750 Highbuild Solvent Free Epoxy Floor Coating
Rolec Services selected Elgood Industrial Flooring’s Britdura 750 Highbuild Solvent Free Epoxy Floor Coating. The system was chosen for Elgood’s trowel application technique and competitive price.
The specified floor provided a total thickness of approximately 1 mm, creating a durable, sealed and practical industrial floor finish for day-to-day use.
Clipper Blue floor finish
The industrial floor was finished in Clipper Blue. This attractive, light-reflecting colour helped improve the appearance of the facility and create a cleaner, brighter working environment.
Fine slip resistant surface
The coating included a built-in fine slip resistant finish. This provided improved grip underfoot while remaining suitable for routine cleaning with scrubber dryer machines.
Complete in-house service
The industrial flooring system was manufactured, prepared and installed entirely by Elgood Industrial Flooring. The project was managed and installed by Elgood’s in-house, full-time employed and trained team, providing Rolec Services with a single point of responsibility for both workmanship and materials.

A total floor thickness of approximately 1 mm
