Why Bristol

Why choose us for roof, wall and cladding coatings in Bristol and South West.

Track record

  • TOR and spray combined, system chosen by substrate condition
  • 10-year service-life options on sound metal cladding substrates
  • Full project-specific RAMS, not a generic one-pager

Right fit when

  • Cladding profile is structurally sound but the finish is fading, chalking or failing adhesion.
  • Replacement is capital-prohibitive, planning-restricted or simply too disruptive.
  • Brand or estate consistency requires a matched colour across multiple elevations.

Bristol programme

How we run roof, wall and cladding coatings schemes locally.

  1. 01 · Survey

    Cladding type (profile sheet, cassette, ACM, rainscreen), adhesion test on existing coating, substrate condition, RAL reference, access assessment (roof parapet, elevation height, MEWP reach or scaffold requirement).

  2. 02 · Specification

    Cleaning method first: DOFF, chemical or pressure wash, matched to substrate. Then primer and topcoat system to service-life target. 10-year options available on sound metal substrates. Sample panel agreed before full application.

  3. 03 · RAMS

    Project-specific RAMS covering cleaning run-off containment, MEWP or scaffold access plan, edge-protection specification, wind-loading restrictions on spray application, COSHH.

  4. 04 · Delivery

    Clean substrate, prepare any surface defects, mask glazing and penetrations, prime in passes, apply topcoat. Phased by elevation so the building stays operational throughout.

  5. 05 · Handover

    As-applied record (product batch, film thickness, weather conditions at application), before/after photo log, written service-life expectation.

Frequently asked · Bristol

What clients in Bristol usually ask first.

Do you handle heritage and conservation-area facades?
Yes. DOFF steam and chemical cleaning are core to the South West programme, including listed buildings and conservation-area shopfronts where pressure washing isn't an option.
How quickly can you survey in Bristol?
Typically same-week. Bristol and the M4 corridor are a regular run for the team from our Dorset base.
Can you work around live retail trading?
Yes. Most Bristol retail work is phased around opening hours, with overnight cuts where the centre requires it.
How long will the coating last?
10 years on a properly specified system over a sound, well-prepared substrate. We confirm the expectation in writing per scheme.
Can you match our brand colour?
Yes. RAL or BS colour matched on site. Where estate consistency is the goal, a single reference colour is agreed and applied across all elevations.
Can it be done without scaffolding?
Often yes, with tracked MEWPs for low-to-mid elevations. Agreed at survey based on elevation height, edge condition and reach. Scaffold is specified where MEWPs can't safely access.
Can the building stay operational?
Usually yes. Cleaning is the noisiest phase; coating is relatively quiet. Phased elevation delivery means no single phase closes the whole building.
What about glazing in curtain wall?
All glazing, gaskets and penetrations are masked before preparation starts and checked at demask before the elevation reopens.
