PKB Civils, a well‑established civil engineering contractor based in Rochdale, approached Cladding Coatings seeking a long‑term solution to refurbish and protect their industrial building. The property had begun to show visible signs of ageing, with the existing coating deteriorating across multiple elevations and the roof requiring attention to prevent further decline. PKB Civils wanted a durable, warranty‑backed system that would restore the building’s appearance, safeguard the substrate, and reduce future maintenance demands. After a detailed consultation, Cladding Coatings recommended the installation of the 15‑year warranty coating system across 350m² of cladding spanning three elevations, alongside full preparation and coating of the roof as advised during the initial survey.

The project began with a comprehensive site assessment. During the survey, the team identified several issues affecting the building envelope. The cladding exhibited surface chalking, colour fade, and areas of coating breakdown caused by prolonged exposure to weather. Localised corrosion was visible around fixings and panel joints, indicating the need for targeted treatment before any new coating could be applied. The roof also showed early signs of deterioration, and although structurally sound, it required preparation and coating to ensure the building received consistent protection across all external surfaces. The survey confirmed that the substrate was suitable for refurbishment, making the 15‑year system an ideal choice for PKB Civils’ long‑term requirements.

Preparation formed a critical part of the project. Cladding Coatings’ team carried out a structured programme of works designed to ensure the new coating system would perform to its full potential. All elevations and roof surfaces were thoroughly cleaned using specialist equipment to remove dirt, pollutants, and chalking. This stage is essential for achieving strong adhesion and a flawless finish. Once cleaned, the surfaces were degreased and prepared to create a stable base for the coating. Corroded areas were treated carefully, with abrasion and priming applied where necessary to halt further degradation and reinforce the substrate. Surrounding fixtures, windows, trims, and ground areas were masked and protected to maintain clean lines and prevent overspray, ensuring the final result would be both precise and professional.

With the preparation complete, the team proceeded to apply Cladding Coatings’ 15‑year warranty system. This high‑performance coating is specifically designed for industrial metal cladding and roofing, offering exceptional durability, UV resistance, and long‑term colour stability. The system provides a robust barrier against weathering and corrosion, making it an excellent choice for buildings exposed to the elements year‑round. Using professional spraying techniques, the team achieved a smooth, uniform finish across all three elevations and the roof. PKB Civils selected a colour that complemented their branding and refreshed the overall appearance of the site, creating a modern and cohesive look. Careful attention was given to architectural details, panel junctions, and trims to ensure the finish resembled a factory‑applied coating.

Once the application was complete, the project underwent a full quality assurance inspection. This included checks on coating thickness, adhesion levels, and overall uniformity to ensure compliance with manufacturer warranty criteria. The client now has peace of mind and knows that the property is protected for years to come.
The transformation delivered significant benefits for PKB Civils. The building now presents a clean, modern, and professional exterior that reflects the company’s reputation and operational standards. The 15‑year warranty system provides reliable protection against corrosion, UV damage, and environmental wear, extending the lifespan of the existing cladding without the cost and disruption of replacement. Treating both the elevations and the roof ensures consistent protection across the entire structure, improving overall building performance. The work was completed safely and efficiently, allowing PKB Civils to continue their operations without interruption.
