Surface care at service station

The project, on the M5’s southbound carriageway, follows an earlier Fila specification at the sister-site on the M5 North. Both eco-led developments are part of a joint venture between a local charity – Gloucester Gateway Trust – and Westmorland, which aim to “turn the M5 into a community asset.”

The service stations focus on local suppliers and green design, providing a ‘foodie’ destination in a sustainable environment. The iconic building nestles under a grass roof and sits within a rustic, landscaped setting. Natural, locally-sourced materials feature throughout and include Cotswold stone cladding and exposed internal timber beams.

The Mapei Ultratop floor flows throughout the main building and adjacent petrol station, creating an anthracite toned stone-like surface. All flooring works – including the application of FILAFOB sealant and eco-award winning FILACLEANER – were carried out by Polished Concrete Designs, for Buckingham Group Contracting.

Part of FILA's Protection Range, FILAFOB protects against stains without forming a seal or altering appearance. It is suitable for concrete and unpolished stone – inside and outdoors – and is certified foodsafe. Fila Cleaner is a pH-neutral detergent from FILA's Green Line. The concentrated formula leaves no residue and it can be used at various dilutions to maintain and deep clean all natural surfaces.
