Graceland in Leicestershire

Leicestershire is the East Midlands part of our footprint, picked up via the A14 and A6 from St Neots through Northamptonshire and into the county. Market Harborough is the closest, then Leicester itself in the centre, Loughborough to the north, Hinckley and Coalville on the western edge, and Melton Mowbray to the east. The M1 carries the western spine of the county and the M69 picks up the south-west toward Coventry. Leicestershire is part of the Midlands core that the Beresford's group has worked across for years, and Graceland mobilises into it regularly.

What we install across Leicestershire

Leicestershire is split between distribution-and-logistics commercial work and a steady housebuilding mix, and the system recommendation tracks the split. Multi-plot housebuilding around Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough is mostly Trad Deck — the polypropylene panel system rated to Load Class 3 under BS EN 12811-1:2003 with a safe working load of 2.0 kN/m² UDL inclusive of operatives and Class B material fragility under ACR[M]001:2014. Trad Deck's pattern repetition is the right answer plot after plot.

Suitable distribution and warehouse floor areas along the M1 and M69 corridors can be a good fit for G-Deck Lite, with stock held locally in Derby helping keep installation moving. Some projects use both systems. Either is a fall-prevention working platform, not a crash deck.

How a Leicestershire installation works

How a Leicestershire installation works — Graceland on site
  1. 01

    Enquire

    Send the drawings, area and programme. We assess Trad Deck, G-Deck Lite or both on paper first, with site surveys available where geometry or access needs checking.

  2. 02

    Plan and RAMS

    A method statement, risk assessment and CDM 2015-mapped RAMS pack lands with your principal designer for sign-off before anything goes on site.

  3. 03

    Install

    A two- or three-person crew installs the deck in one planned visit and walks the completed platform with your site agent. A jointly countersigned Handover Certificate puts it formally into service.

  4. 04

    Dismantle

    A single planned visit once the trades above are finished. Every component visually inspected on the way out, defects quarantined, the area handed back clean.
