GRP Solutions for Construction Industry in the UK
According to the HSE (2020/21), slips and falls remain the leading cause of accidents on UK construction sites. Maintaining a safe, compliant working environment is essential not just for meeting Health & Safety standards, but for protecting your workforce.
We specialise in safe access solutions designed to perform in the most demanding construction environments. From temporary works to permanent installations, our GRP platforms, stairs, ramps, and walkways are engineered to meet strict safety requirements while reducing lifetime maintenance costs.
Our solutions aren’t limited to new builds. All Vital GRP systems can be retrofitted during refurbishment or upgrade projects, even in occupied buildings. We work flexibly to minimise disruption while ensuring your site remains compliant and operational.
Whether you need to bridge a gap, overcome an obstacle, or access hard-to-reach areas, we supply a full range of Riser Floors, Access Stairs, Ramps, Maintenance Platforms, Gantries, and Ladders all designed to keep your teams moving safely and efficiently.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Performance
Made from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), our access systems offer:
-
Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
-
Corrosion and weather resistance
-
Zero-maintenance longevity
-
Easy modular replacement if components ever become worn or damaged
Every Vital GRP fabrication is built to a minimum Safe Working Load (SWL) of 5kN/m², with the capacity to increase for vehicular access where required.
Bespoke GRP Solutions for the Construction Sector
Riser Flooring
RiserDeck delivers a safe, durable and maintenance-free platform for service risers in any building. Available in Post-Fix and Cast-In versions, each system is bespoke-engineered to your project — whether for refurbishment or new build.
Walkway Access
When obstacles like pipework, HVAC systems, roof slopes, or storage tanks block the way, a raised GRP walkway or gantry system delivers safe and efficient access.
GRP Step Overs
Whether crossing a single pipe, a boundary wall, or a network of cables, maintenance engineers can rely on a GRP Step Over to move safely and efficiently.
Mezzanine Floors
If your warehouse, plant room, or industrial space is running out of room, a GRP mezzanine floor is the ideal way to add extra space quickly without extending your building.
Access Stairs
Whether it’s a few steps to a doorway or a full staircase to a mezzanine or roof, our GRP Access Staircases combine strength, safety, and style with anti-slip, low-maintenance performance.
Pedestrian Ramps
Wherever wheels go, GRP Pedestrian Ramps make life easier helping everyone move smoothly, from parents with pushchairs to wheelchair users, travellers, and workers on the go.
Access Ladders
GRP Access Ladders provide reliable vertical access solutions for industrial and commercial environments. Designed and manufactured to meet your exact site requirements.
