What is cladding restoration?

Cladding restoration involves repairing and refurbishing the external façade or roof of a building to improve its appearance, performance, and longevity.

Our cladding restoration typically includes cleaning, repairing damaged areas, and applying protective coatings to revitalise the building’s exterior. You can see examples in our case studies here.

What types of surfaces can you coat?

As our name suggests, metal cladding coating is our speciality. But we also coat a wide range of surfaces, including brick, concrete, timber, and composite materials.

Before we begin any work, we always assess your surfaces to make sure we use the most suitable coating system for the best results. Find out how a free, on-site survey works.

Why is cladding maintenance important?

Regular cladding maintenance is vital to keep your building safe. It prevents long-term damage caused by weathering, corrosion, and other environmental factors, saving the expense of extensive repairs.

It also maintains your company’s image by creating a polished, professional first impression, so you stand out for the right reasons. Read more about maintenance here.

How long do your coating systems last?

Our coating systems are durable and long-lasting, with performance guarantees typically ranging from 10 and 15 years (depending on the specific conditions and products used). The minimum term is ten years, and we can guarantee some of our roof coatings for up to 30 years.

These long-term guarantees promise a great return on investment, assurance of our commitment to quality and durability, and give you at least a decade’s peace of mind.

Can you match a specific colour for my cladding?

Yes, we offer a bespoke colour-matching service. This makes sure the coating is the perfect shade to complement existing colours or match your corporate branding.

We also offer a free site sample to make sure we have the colour correct before we begin the cladding coating project – another way we increase your peace of mind with a Cladding Coatings project.

Do I need to close my business during the project?

Not necessarily – in fact, during the majority of our projects, our clients’ businesses continue to operate as normal while we carry out the work.

Of course, there are times we may need to access specific areas, such as loading doors. Yet wherever possible, we schedule work during off-peak hours or weekends to accommodate your needs, with minimal disruption to your operations.

Do you provide guarantees for your work?

Yes, our roof and wall cladding coating work can come with guarantees specific to the project and products used. This offers peace of mind and assurance of our commitment to quality and durability. Our guarantee is insurance backed and is a minimum of 10 years, but we offer up to 30 years on specific coating systems.
Please ask us for detail of our guarantees when enquiring about your project.

Can you carry out large-scale projects?

Absolutely. With a team of coating experts with different skills and specialisms, we can – and often do – take on projects at large and complex sites, including The Car Supermarket, Asda, and a vast 115,000sq ft warehouse for Keel Toys.

Thanks to our large team, we can also carry out work at more than one of your sites at the same time, and regularly return to our clients for work on multiple site across the UK. Take a look at our case studies for our repeat clients, such as The Storage Team and Synertec.

Is cladding coating environmentally friendly?

The products we use are environmentally friendly and designed to minimise climate impact. Our systems include low-VOC and water-based coatings, and we do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint in our operations.

As a business, we’ve set out a clear commitment and climate pledge to hold ourselves accountable our actions. You can read the statement and more around it here.

Do you offer on-site inspections?

Yes, for every project. We begin with our free on-site survey to assess the condition of your cladding. Our expert team evaluates your specific needs based on our decades of knowledge, and can offer chargeable drone surveys to access those hard-to-reach areas.

Only then do we provide a quote, based on real-time best recommendations. This makes sure the estimated costs you get are as comprehensive and transparent as possible.

Do you do small-scale projects?

We don’t do residential properties but most comercial properties we are able to refurbish.

Just give us a call, and we’ll be happy to help.

How can I visualise the work before you begin?

We understand it can be hard to envisage cladding recoating and painting changes on a large scale. That’s why we offer digital visualisation: a chance for you see what your finished façade will look like.
