Industry Focus – Industrial Units

If you are responsible for industrial buildings you will know how difficult it can be to keep them watertight and performing efficiently year after year. Not only do you have to protect valuable products and machinery but you need the external roofs and walls to look good and professionally represent the business you are housing.

Maybe your building is showing signs of wear and tear such as peeling paint, cracking or cut edge corrosion but you just don’t know where to start to make the necessary improvements. Cladding Coatings have over 15 years experience working on industrial buildings and are always happy to offer advice on the best approach to get your property looking and performing the best it possibly can.

That is why our client Whittle Jones trusted us with 5 of their buildings on their industrial estate in Northumberland. During a site survey Cladding Coatings found the warehouse units to be in need of some refurbishment with areas starting to corrode and painted cladding becoming flaky. Due to the rural setting, the back of each unit and part of the roofing were particularly dirty with moss build up and algae, and in need of protection due to the overhanging trees and vegetation backing onto the industrial estate.

Whittle Jones appointed Cladding Coatings to carry out a complete repair and refurbishment of the 5 warehouse units, including all roofing, guttering & roof lights, walls & signage, windows & roller shutter doors.

The process also included treatment of surfaces to improve the longevity of the structures which faced some damage and deterioration due to weathering and general wear and tear. The units varied in condition, a works schedule was prepared for each, which the Cladding Coatings team were able to follow.

Some of the units were not even occupied but Whittle Jones decided it would be a good way to attract new tenants to smarter looking premises. If you are a landlord of vacant industrial units Cladding Coatings can help you make them look appealing for prospective occupants.
