Germinating Floors: masonry perimeter walls with cast iron columns and concrete floors formed around steel secondary beams.  Floors are finished in quarry tiles.  These are the spaces that are unique to malting and in many cases they have very low floor-to-floor heights.  At Sleaford Maltings the dimensions, as with everything else here, are generous and more than adequate for reuse.

The Steeps:  these form towers at the south ends of the germinating floors, with construction similar to the Granaries.  Structure is robust to carry the water and Steeping Tanks.  Examples of Tanks, Storage Silos, Power Transmission and Belt Guards remain.

Kilns: large volumes with upper chambers for heating grain, with heating plant below.  Masonry perimeter walls, cast iron structure to support Kiln Floor.  Kiln Floor is pierced clay tiles supported on steel framework.  Clear span roof structures with ventilation..  Very little secondary floor structure or Kiln tiles remain.

The Water Tower and Engine Room:  brick structure, with iron roof trusses.  The Water Tank is at the top of the Tower Features include an excellent cast iron circular stair, and a series of very tall spaces.  The Engines were removed but one of them now sits in the Bass Museum at Burton on Trent.

Rail sidings and canopies:  to the north on all buildings, are timber canopies to protect grain during loading and unloading, rail sidings finished in seconds granite sets laid flush with the rails.

The Alleys or Lanes:  the spaces between the buildings forming 'streets' eight metres wide, finished in seconds granite sets with granite kerbs and narrow pavements in blue engineering bricks.

Transmission Bridges: spanning between buildings at the south end, steel and cast iron structures with timber deck and iron and timber guarding.  Examples of Power Transmission remain.

Conveyor Bridges: timber clad double height bridges carrying conveyors, running east-west from central Granaries.

Staff facilities and offices:  a series of single storey domestic scale structures along the south boundary of the site.
