Bournemouth 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 · Bournemouth

What clients in Bournemouth usually ask first.

Are you local to Bournemouth and Poole?
Yes. This is our base. Surveys are usually next-day and mobilisation is fast across Dorset and the BH postcodes.
Do you work on hotels and hospitality frontages?
Regularly. Coastal hotels and hospitality venues are a staple of the local programme, decorated and resprayed around guests and trading.
Can you restore weathered seafront shopfronts?
Yes. Powder-coated frame restoration recovers faded, salt-exposed aluminium to a matched finish on site, without reglazing or replacement.
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.
