Fuel Forecourt Issues

Keeping the retail area of a filling station clean and safe is a hard task as the constant footfall from the forecourt inevitably brings in contaminants including petrol, oil and dirt.

Open structure entrance matting, with appropriately selected surface material, can provide a very effective barrier, removing these contaminants at the door.

Unlike basic matting, the open structure ensures dirt and moisture falls below the top surface, away from future footfall, while the correctly selected surface material scrapes and brushes the contaminants from the soles of shoes.

The below flow diagram shows some of the knock-on effects that forecourt contaminants can have in the retail area:

The knock-on effects of wet & dirty floors

Hygiene of food preparation and display areas put at risk.

Customer perception that store cleanliness reflects on food preparation and display areas.

Customer experience is poor seeing unclean premise and slower serving times as staff managing extra cleaning.

Repeat and new sales are threatened if customers relate poor experiences

The knock-on effects of wet & dirty floors

Fewer staff serving, while cleaning contaminants, dirt & moisture from floors.

Leads to longer queues and slower service

Which leads to poor customer service

And ultimately lost sales when customers give up and leave… and don’t come back

The knock-on effects of wet & dirty floors

Risk of customer and staff slipping on greasy floors caused by contaminants

The average fine was over £32,000
