Southampton 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 · Southampton

What clients in Southampton usually ask first.

Do you work around live retail at WestQuay and in town?

Yes. Retail work is phased around trading, with overnight cuts where the landlord or centre requires them.

Can you handle coastal weathering on frames and facades?

Yes. Salt-laden exposure is hard on coatings; we restore powder-coated frames and recoat facades to suit the exposure, not a generic spec.

Do you cover the port and industrial estates?

Yes. Warehouse and industrial coatings around the docks and the Nursling and Totton estates are a regular part of the Hampshire programme.

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.
