External Refurbishments That Save Energy—and Money

With energy prices climbing and operational costs rising, there’s never been a better time to take a closer look at your property. Smart external refurbishments can dramatically improve energy efficiency, reduce long-term expenses, and enhance the overall performance of your building.

At Cladding Coatings, we specialise in helping businesses future-proof their assets. From proactive maintenance to full-scale refurbishments, our expert team knows how to make your building work harder for you.

Your building’s exterior is its first line of defence against the elements. Over time, exposure to wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations can cause serious wear and tear—especially on cladding and roofing systems. Left unchecked, these issues can lead to costly repairs, energy loss, and even safety hazards.

Here’s how regular maintenance and refurbishment can protect your property and your bottom line:

Condition & Maintenance Checks

Cladding sheets endure constant exposure, making them vulnerable to:

• Debris buildup (algae, moss, dirt)

• Coating deterioration (fading, peeling, cracking)

• Corrosion and structural damage

Our team offers free site surveys—including drone inspections for hard-to-reach areas—to identify issues early and recommend solutions before they escalate.

Factory-cut metal sheets often have exposed edges that lack protective coating. Over time, this leads to cut edge corrosion, which:

• Starts at the sheet’s edge and spreads inward

• Causes leaks, holes, and structural instability

• Becomes a serious hazard if left untreated

Early intervention is key. Our corrosion treatments stop the spread and extend the life of your cladding.

Replacing damaged cladding is expensive and disruptive. But catching deterioration early allows for:

• Cost-effective cleaning and edge treatments

• Minimal disruption to daily operations

• Guaranteed results—our work is backed for at least 10 years

That means peace of mind and long-term savings.

Drafts can significantly increase heating costs, especially in large industrial units. To reduce air leakage:

• Inspect cladding joints, corners, and wall edges

• Check for loose fixings or gaps

• Ensure panels are sealed tightly

Even small fixes can lead to big savings on your energy bill.

Rooflights are a great source of natural light—but only if they’re clean and functional. We recommend:

• Regular cleaning with anti-fungal solutions

• Routine inspections to maintain efficiency

More natural light means less reliance on artificial lighting—and lower energy costs.

If your cladding is damaged, it’s likely underperforming. Delaying repairs can lead to:

• Air and moisture leaks

• Internal wall and insulation damage

• Higher energy bills and repair costs

Acting quickly ensures your building stays efficient and protected.

Once your roof is refurbished, why not take it a step further? We offer solar panel installation with impressive benefits:

• Fast payback—often within 2–3 years

• Long-term energy savings

• Supports your zero carbon goals by 2050

Some of our roof coatings are guaranteed for up to 30 years—outlasting most solar panels.

We also install the 3M™ DBI-SALA® RoofSafe Anchor and Cable System—a permanent fall arrest solution that:

• Provides safe access to all roof areas

• Eliminates the need for costly railings or netting

• Speeds up future roof work and reduces costs

It’s a smart investment in safety and long-term efficiency.
