The Client

Tattersalls is a globally renowned thoroughbred auctioneer, offering over 10,000 horses annually across 15 international sales held at its Newmarket headquarters in England and at Fairyhouse in Ireland. As a premier facility catering to discerning clients, Tattersalls maintains exceptionally high standards across its entire estate — including its stable blocks.

When looking to refurbish part of the Fairyhouse site, Tattersalls turned to Degafloor for a resin flooring system that could meet both their aesthetic expectations and the performance requirements of a demanding, high-traffic environment.


The Challenge

Tattersalls needed a bespoke resin flooring solution that would offer:

  • Exceptional durability

  • Reliable slip resistance, even when wet

  • Seamless internal and external performance

  • A visually appealing, easily maintained finish

It was essential that the new flooring stood up to both the daily demands of stable life and fluctuating weather conditions — without compromising safety or cleanliness.

Degafloor, working alongside approved partner Larsen Contracts (Ireland) Ltd, was invited to assess the existing substrate and recommend a solution that could deliver both functionality and finish.


The Result

The Degafloor Full Broadcast System was specified and installed across the stable block floor, following a comprehensive preparation process. The heavily tamped concrete surface was first diamond ground and shot blasted, ensuring maximum bond strength.

The flooring system was applied in six key stages:

  1. Primer

  2. Scratch coat to level and smooth

  3. Main resin system layer

  4. Full broadcast of bauxite aggregate for enhanced grip
    5–6. Two top coats of clear Degafloor MMA seal

The result is a seamless, slip-resistant, and ultra-durable floor that performs exceptionally well in both indoor and exposed outdoor areas — exactly what Tattersalls required.

Degafloor’s MMA technology offered the perfect blend of rapid installation, chemical resistance, and long-term performance — reinforcing why it continues to be the trusted choice for high-performance environments.

“It is an honour to have been involved in this project and to work for Tattersalls and, in a small way, play a part in maintaining Ireland’s rich horse racing heritage,” said Eddie O’Brien, Contracts Director at Larsen Contracts.
