Storage Team, a leading provider of storage facilities in the UK, recently acquired a property in Leeds that was previously branded as McCarthy Storage. To ensure uniformity across their expanding network of storage locations, the property needed to undergo a significant transformation to align with Storage Team’s brand identity. This presented an exciting project for our team at Cladding Coatings, as we were tasked with revamping the property’s exterior to reflect their signature colour scheme and create a visually cohesive appearance consistent with the rest of their facilities.

A Bold Step Towards Cohesion

Storage Team has built its reputation on providing high-quality storage solutions across the UK, including locations that we have previously refurbished in Gainsborough, Kettering, Winsford, York, and St Helens. As with their previous properties, uniform branding plays a crucial role in reinforcing their professional image and ensuring customer recognition. The Leeds property, with its metal-clad exterior, was no exception and required a complete overhaul of it’s two buildings, to match the modern and consistent style of other Storage Team buildings.

The Transformation Process

Our highly skilled team began by developing a clear project plan tailored to Storage Team’s branding requirements. The first step involved assessing the condition of the existing metal cladding, taking note of any areas that required repair or restoration.

Once the initial assessment was complete, the property was prepared for the transformation. Preparation included cleaning the cladding to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants, which is essential for a strong paint bond. Any areas needing repair were expertly treated, addressing potential issues before the painting process commenced.

The next phase focused on applying Storage Team’s distinctive colour scheme to the exterior. The company’s branding is represented by a vibrant, dynamic palette, a key part of their identity that ensures their facilities are immediately recognisable. To achieve this, we used high-performance, colour-matched coatings specifically designed for durability and weather resistance. Our coatings not only brought the vibrant colours to life but also provided essential protection against the elements, ensuring the new look would last for years to come.

Challenges and Solutions

Every project presents its unique set of challenges, and the Leeds property was no exception. The size and metal-clad construction of the two buildings required careful planning to ensure even coverage and smooth application of the coatings. Weather conditions during the project were another consideration, as fluctuating temperatures and moisture levels can affect coating adhesion and drying times.

To overcome these challenges, we relied on our extensive experience with similar projects. By using advanced coating technologies and precise application techniques, we ensured a consistently high-quality finish. We were fortunate on this project to have amazing weather with several, warmer sunny days that enabled our teams to push on to get the buildings finished on time.

A Partnership Built on Trust

This project marks yet another successful collaboration between Cladding Coatings and Storage Team. Over the years, we have worked on multiple Storage Team properties, from Gainsborough to St Helens, building a strong and trusted partnership in the process. Our contribution to their portfolio has helped them maintain a cohesive and professional appearance across their storage facilities, enhancing their reputation in the competitive storage industry.

The Final Result

The revamped buildings now stand as a vibrant, professionally branded facility that seamlessly blends with Storage Team’s expanding network.
