Spooktacular Tips for Maintaining Your Cladding This Halloween

As Halloween approaches, we’re all in the spirit of transforming spaces—whether it’s for trick-or-treaters or the spooky décor just for fun. But don’t forget that your property deserves a transformation too! Maintenance and refurbishment of internal and external wall and roof cladding might not seem like the most thrilling Halloween activity, but it’s crucial for keeping your building in tip-top shape long after the last Halloween treat is gone.

Why Cladding Maintenance is Essential

Before we dig into the practical tips, it’s vital to understand why maintaining your cladding is as important as keeping the ghostly decorations in place. Properly maintained cladding not only improves the aesthetic appeal of your building but also protects it from the harsh weather conditions that can lead to wear and tear. Plus, a well-maintained exterior can prevent those ghastly repair costs that might otherwise haunt you later on.

Treat Your Cladding to a Thorough Inspection

The first step in keeping your cladding as pristine and polished as a freshly carved pumpkin is conducting a thorough inspection. Here’s what to look out for:

Cracks & Chips

Inspect for any visible cracks or chips. These can be entry points for moisture, which can cause further damage over time. Just as a small crack on a pumpkin can lead to rot, so too can unchecked damage lead to larger issues.

Discolouration

Look for discolouration or fading, which can indicate UV damage or mould. Maintaining the vibrancy of your cladding ensures your building remains an inviting and professional space.

Corrosion

Particularly for metal cladding, check for signs of rust or corrosion. Early detection can save you from a horror show of costly replacements.

Give Your Cladding a Fresh Coat

Once you’ve assessed the condition, it might be time for a little makeover. A fresh coat of specialist coating — like our 15 year guarantee system — can revive your cladding’s appearance and offer an extra layer of protection against the elements.

Cladding Coatings’ Services

At Cladding Coatings, we specialise in high-performance coatings for cladding, roofs, doors, and windows. Our services ensure a finish that looks new at a fraction of the replacement cost, backed by a minimum 10-year guarantee. Our environmentally friendly, water-based products comply with VOC2010 standards, providing a sustainable solution for your building needs.

Don’t Forget the Roof

While focusing on your walls, don’t overlook the roof. Just as a witch needs her broom, a building needs a sound roof to function correctly. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and coating, can prevent leaks and extend the life of your roof.

Roof Refurbishment

Our roof services include cut edge corrosion treatment, rooflight refurbishment, and gutter coating, ensuring your building is as protected on top as it is on the sides.

Internal Spaces Matter Too

The internal walls, ceilings and floors in your property shouldn’t be overlooked as these are the areas that are seen on a daily basis and form the working environment of your employees. Our teams can transform these areas and refresh the surfaces to brighten them up and re-paint them to a high standard.
