Automotive Transport Training Ltd (ATT Ltd), Hinckley
A change of colour and an external wall cladding refresh was carried out on this tired metal cladding. Our onsite spraying teams were able to transform the exterior to match the brand colours of this training provider.

ATT is a well-established training centre offering LGV, forklift, and ADR courses, and their site is a hub of activity. When they approached us, they were looking to refresh and protect the exterior of their building.
Interestingly, this opportunity came about thanks to our work on a neighbouring property. While we were onsite completing a metal cladding coating project next door, ATT’s team saw the transformation and were impressed by the results. They reached out to us directly, asking if we could carry out similar work on their own building while we were still in the area. It’s always rewarding when our work speaks for itself, and this was a perfect example of how visible results can lead to new partnerships.
The scope of the project involved applying our trusted 15-year cladding coatings system to two key elevations, the front and right sides of the building. These areas had begun to show signs of wear, with visible corrosion and fading that detracted from the professional image ATT wanted to maintain. Our team carried out a full site inspection to assess the condition of the external wall cladding and plan the best approach for preparation and application.


As with all our projects, surface preparation was critical. We began by thoroughly cleaning the cladding to remove dirt, debris, and any loose material. This step ensures optimal adhesion of the coating and sets the foundation for a flawless finish. We also carried out a detailed cut edge corrosion repair, treating the vulnerable sheet edges where corrosion typically begins. This is a vital part of our process, especially for older buildings, as untreated cut edge corrosion can lead to structural damage and costly repairs down the line.

Once the surfaces were prepared, we moved on to the onsite spraying phase. Our skilled spraying team applied the coating system with precision, ensuring even coverage and a smooth, professional finish. The chosen system offers excellent durability and weather resistance, backed by a 15-year guarantee. It not only enhances the building’s appearance but also protects it from the elements, reducing future maintenance needs.
In addition to the cladding work, ATT asked us to prepare and paint their external staircase, handrail, and door. These features had also suffered from corrosion and general wear, so we treated all affected areas before applying a fresh coat of paint. The result was a cohesive, refreshed look that complemented the newly coated elevations and reinforced the site’s professional image.
Throughout the project, our team maintained close communication with ATT, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily operations. As a busy training centre, it was important that we worked efficiently and respectfully around their schedule. We’re proud to say that the project was completed on time and to the client’s full satisfaction.

This job was a great example of how our work can speak volumes. ATT’s decision to engage us was based entirely on seeing the results of a neighbouring project, which is a testament to the quality and visual impact of our coatings. It also highlights the value of being flexible and responsive by acting quickly while we were still onsite, we were able to deliver a seamless service and maximise efficiency for the client.
