Tesco – Houghton-le-Spring New Build Store

Project Overview

Q Flooring Systems was appointed by Mannings Northern Ltd to deliver the terrazzo flooring package for the new-build Tesco store at Houghton-le-Spring. Completed within a demanding 28-day programme, the project involved the installation, finishing and diamond polishing of over 2,800m² of terrazzo flooring while working alongside multiple trades on a live construction site.

Scope of Works

  • Installation of 2,800m² of 300 x 300 x 28mm terrazzo tiles
  • Precision grouting and finishing
  • Diamond grinding and polishing to a 1500-grit finish
  • Quality inspections throughout the installation
  • Weekend working to maintain programme milestones

The Challenge

Delivering a large-scale terrazzo installation within a fast-track construction programme required close coordination with the principal contractor and other trades. Maintaining a consistent, high-quality finish across more than 2,800m² while meeting programme deadlines demanded careful planning and expert workmanship.

The Outcome

The flooring package was completed on programme, providing Tesco with a durable, low-maintenance terrazzo floor designed to withstand heavy daily footfall. The successful delivery reinforces Q Flooring Systems’ expertise in delivering large-scale terrazzo installations for complex retail developments.
