Cromwell Tools Bristol Hub Fit Out

We completed a full warehouse fit out for Cromwell Tools at their new Bristol Hub facility.

The project was designed to create a practical, high-capacity working environment that combined warehouse storage, secure operational zones and dedicated office accommodation within one coordinated layout.

Our works included a 348m² mezzanine floor, Unirack shelving, Superbuild pallet racking, secure mesh partitioning, office partitioning, drylining, suspended ceilings, flooring, kitchen and toilet facilities, lighting, power, data, access control, fire detection, heating and air conditioning.

The mezzanine was designed with a 4.8kN/m² loading and a finished floor level of 3000mm, creating additional usable space above the main warehouse floor.

The finished project provided Cromwell Tools with a complete Bristol Hub facility, bringing together storage, offices, staff facilities and secure warehouse areas in a single functional space.

Cromwell Tools required a new Bristol Hub facility that could support both their warehouse operations and office-based teams.

The brief was to make better use of the available building height and floor area by introducing a mezzanine floor, shelving and pallet racking, while also creating enclosed office spaces and welfare facilities within the wider warehouse environment.

A key requirement was storage capacity. The scheme needed to include shelving above and below the mezzanine floor, along with pallet racking up to 6m high, helping Cromwell Tools maximise the available warehouse footprint.

The project also needed to provide secure internal areas using mesh partitioning. This included 3m high angle frame mesh partitioning to the front shutter areas, sliding doors, single doors, return sections to rear fire exits and mesh ceilings over the secure zones.

In addition to the warehouse works, Cromwell Tools required a complete office fit out package, including demountable office partitioning, glazed window modules, oak veneer doors, suspended ceilings, carpet tiles, vinyl flooring, kitchen units, toilet facilities, LED lighting, power, data, access control, fire detection, air conditioning and heating.

During the planning stage, we produced CAD drawings for Cromwell Tools’ new Bristol location to coordinate the warehouse, mezzanine, office and service layouts.

The drawings showed both the ground floor plan and mezzanine level plan, helping us define the position of the storage areas, office accommodation, staircase, secure mesh zones, lighting, power, data, access control and welfare spaces.

The CAD plan also included example pallet racking and shelving/mezzanine elevations, allowing us to visualise how the storage system would work across both levels of the facility. The layout incorporated rows of shelving across the warehouse area, with storage planned above and below the mezzanine.

Kitchen elevations were also included as part of the drawing package, showing the proposed arrangement of base units, wall units, dishwasher, fridge, drawer pack, cupboards and worktop areas.

By developing the project through detailed CAD drawings, we were able to plan the warehouse storage, office fit out, electrical layouts and access routes as one joined-up scheme before installation began.

The completed project gave Cromwell Tools a practical, well-organised and high-capacity Bristol Hub facility.

We transformed the building into a combined warehouse, storage and office environment, with a large mezzanine structure creating additional usable floor space above the main warehouse. Shelving was installed across both the upper and lower levels, while pallet racking provided further storage capacity for larger goods.

The office areas were finished with clean partitioning, glazed internal windows, oak veneer doors, suspended ceilings, carpet tiles, LED lighting, power, data and air conditioning. The kitchen and toilet facilities provided the staff welfare areas needed to support the day-to-day use of the site.

The secure mesh partitioning created controlled-access zones within the warehouse, helping Cromwell Tools protect key areas while maintaining visibility and airflow. The wider mechanical and electrical package, including lighting, fire detection, access control, heating and emergency lighting, ensured the facility was completed as a fully functioning workspace.

By combining mezzanine floors, shelving, racking, offices, welfare facilities, secure partitioning and M&E works into one coordinated project, we delivered a complete fit out solution tailored to Cromwell Tools’ operational requirements.
