Why Reading

Why choose us for aluminium glazing spraying in Reading and Thames Valley.

Track record

  • No reglazing, no removal. Frames refinished in place around building occupancy
  • RAL or BS finish matched on site to current colour, not factory-fresh
  • Written service-life expectation with every scheme

Right fit when

  • The glazing system is sound but the finish is failing: chalking, fading or inconsistent across the estate.
  • Reglazing is not commercially viable and new manufacture isn't on the programme.
  • A consistent estate finish matters and full replacement won't deliver it in time.

Reading programme

How we run aluminium glazing spraying schemes locally.

  1. 01 · Survey

    Confirm glazing system type, substrate condition, RAL reference (gloss-meter read on a clean reference panel), adhesion test on existing finish, and access method. Restoration only goes ahead if the substrate holds.

  2. 02 · Specification

    Two-pack tie-coat over light mechanical abrasion, matched RAL topcoat at 60-80 µm. System selected for UV stability and matching sheen to adjacent panels. Service-life expectation written into the spec.

  3. 03 · RAMS

    Project-specific RAMS including glazing-protection masking method, spray-containment plan for public routes, COSHH for tie-coat solvents, and access schedule.

  4. 04 · Delivery

    Mask all glazing, gaskets and ironmongery. Prepare, prime and apply within the same shift where access permits. Demask at end of each phase. Glass checked before reopening.

  5. 05 · Handover

    Before/after photo record, gloss reading on completed panels, written service-life note per scheme.

Frequently asked · Reading

What clients in Reading usually ask first.

Can you decorate occupied office floors?
Yes. Thames Valley work is mostly live: phased floor-by-floor, low-odour systems, and evening or weekend cuts so staff keep working around us.
Do you spray on site?
Yes. On-site spraying gives a factory-grade finish to partitions, doors and joinery without removing them, contained and masked for an occupied building.
How far do you cover from Reading?
The whole Thames Valley: Bracknell, Slough, Maidenhead, Newbury and the M4 parks between Reading and London.
Is the glass protected throughout?
Glazing, gaskets, ironmongery and sealants are masked before primer goes on. Glass is inspected at demask before any floor or wing reopens.
Will it last as long as factory powder coat?
Not quite, but a properly specified, well-prepared two-pack system gives a credible service life. We confirm the expectation in writing per scheme.
Can it be done while the building is occupied?
Yes. Most schemes are delivered phased, floor by floor or elevation by elevation, with each section reopened as we demask.
Can you match a faded or inconsistent RAL?
Yes. We sample on site and match to the current colour, not factory-fresh. Where estate consistency is the goal, a single reference colour is agreed and applied across the whole scheme.
How long until staff can open the windows?
Touch-dry within an hour; full cure varies by system. We agree the no-touch window at survey and leave it on the handover sheet.
