Furrows of Oswestry, a well‑established Ford dealership serving Shropshire and the surrounding region, approached us with a clear objective, to restore and protect the exterior of their Oswestry site with a long‑lasting, visually striking finish. As a busy automotive dealership, the building’s façade plays a crucial role in shaping customer perception. The existing cladding, doors and window frames had begun to show signs of age, weathering and colour fade, creating an inconsistent appearance that no longer reflected the professionalism of the Furrows brand. They required a solution that would not only refresh the building aesthetically but also deliver robust, long‑term protection against the elements.

Following an initial site visit and condition assessment, it became clear that the dealership’s metal cladding and associated building elements were ideal candidates for our specialist on‑site spraying and refurbishment service. The client wanted a modern, uniform finish that aligned with Ford’s corporate identity while ensuring the building remained protected for many years. With this in mind, we recommended our 15‑year cladding coatings warranty system, a high‑performance solution designed specifically for commercial and industrial environments where durability and appearance are equally important.

The project began with a thorough preparation phase, which is essential for achieving a flawless and long‑lasting finish. The cladding was first cleaned using our specialist equipment to remove dirt, chalking, oxidisation and any contaminants that could compromise adhesion. Areas of corrosion were treated and stabilised, and any damaged sections were repaired to restore the integrity of the substrate. This meticulous preparation ensured that the coating system would bond effectively and perform to its full potential.

Once the surface was fully prepared, our on‑site spraying team applied the chosen high specification coating system. The dealership remained operational throughout the works, so careful planning and coordination were vital. Our team scheduled the work to minimise disruption, maintaining safe access routes for staff and customers while ensuring the site retained a professional appearance at all times. The spraying process was carried out using precision equipment to achieve a smooth, even finish across all cladding elevations, doors and window frames. The result was a consistent, modern colour scheme that revitalised the entire façade.

An important part of the refurbishment involved transforming the dealership’s silver microrib metal wall panels to a sleek, modern black finish. These panels, with their distinctive ribbed profile, required careful preparation to ensure the new colour adhered uniformly across the textured surface. Once cleaned, repaired and fully primed, our team applied the high performance coating system using controlled on site spraying techniques that allowed the black finish to settle smoothly into the microrib contours. The result was a dramatic, contemporary transformation that instantly elevated the building’s appearance, giving the façade a bold, cohesive look that aligns with the updated branding and enhances the dealership’s roadside impact.

The transformation was immediate. The refreshed cladding brought a renewed sense of professionalism to the dealership, enhancing its roadside presence and reinforcing the Furrows brand. The updated finish not only improved the building’s appearance but also provided a protective barrier against UV exposure, weathering and corrosion. This is particularly important for high‑traffic commercial sites where the building envelope is exposed to constant environmental stress.

One of the key advantages of the system applied at Furrows of Oswestry is the reassurance provided by the 15‑year warranty. This long‑term guarantee reflects the quality of the coating technology and the expertise of our application process. For the client, it means peace of mind that their investment is protected and that the building will continue to look its best for many years without the need for costly replacement or major remedial work. The warranty also supports predictable maintenance planning, which is especially valuable for businesses operating multiple sites or managing large estates.

The completed project stands as an excellent example of how professional cladding refurbishment can transform a commercial property without the disruption and expense of full panel replacement. By choosing on‑site spraying, Furrows of Oswestry benefited from a cost‑effective, sustainable solution that extended the life of their existing building materials while delivering a high‑quality finish aligned with their brand identity.

The refreshed façade now provides a welcoming, modern environment for customers and a strong visual representation of the Furrows commitment to quality. Furrows of Oswestry now benefits from a revitalised exterior that enhances customer confidence, protects the building envelope and carries the assurance of a 15‑year warranty. It is a transformation that will continue to deliver value long into the future.
