Bath programme

How we run powder coated frame restoration schemes locally.

1. 01 · Survey

   Frame-by-frame walk. Gloss-meter reading on a clean reference area, RAL identification via Pantone bridge or direct match. Adhesion test on the existing powder coat. Restoration only goes ahead if the substrate holds. If a frame needs replacing, we tell you at survey.

2. 02 · Specification

   PPG or AkzoNobel two-pack tie-coat over light abrasion, matched RAL topcoat at 60-80 µm dry film thickness. Service-life expectation written into the spec, not implied.

3. 03 · RAMS

   Masking method for glazing, gaskets and signage. Spray containment where the frame is on a public route. COSHH for tie-coat solvents.

4. 04 · Delivery

   Prepare, mask, prime, apply and demask within the same shift where access permits. Glazing checked at demask. Adjacent finishes wiped before public reopening.

5. 05 · Handover

   Before/after photo record, gloss reading on completed work, written service-life note. Typical expectation is 5-7 years on a sound substrate.

Frequently asked · Bath

What clients in Bath usually ask first.

Is your cleaning safe for Bath stone and listed facades?

Yes. DOFF superheated steam at low pressure lifts soiling without abrading the stone. We sample-clean a test area and agree the method before touching the elevation.

Do you work in the conservation area and on listed buildings?

Regularly. We work to the substrate and the consent conditions, and flag anything that needs listed-building or planning sign-off before we start.

Can you match heritage colours on shopfronts?

Yes. We identify the existing colour and apply a matched RAL or BS finish, restoring period metalwork rather than replacing it where the substrate is sound.

How long will the finish last?

5-7 years is the typical expected service life when the specification matches the substrate. We confirm the expectation in writing per scheme.

Can you match an existing RAL?

Yes. We sample on site, send a card for sign-off if needed, and apply the matched system.

Can the work happen while the unit is trading?

Yes. Most schemes are delivered phased around live trading with extended masking and overnight cuts where foot traffic requires it.

Do you protect the glazing?

Glazing, gaskets, ironmongery and signage are masked before primer goes on. The glass is checked at demask before public reopening.

What if the substrate is damaged?

We flag substrate failure at survey. If a frame needs replacing we tell you. We won't coat over a failing substrate and sign it off.
