Why Oxford

Why choose us for roof, wall and cladding coatings in Oxford and Oxfordshire.

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.

Oxford 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 · Oxford

What clients in Oxford usually ask first.

Can you clean college and heritage stone safely?
Yes. DOFF steam at low pressure removes soiling without harming the stone; we sample first and work to any conservation conditions.
Do you work in Oxford's pedestrian centre?
Yes. Access, deliveries and out-of-hours working are planned around the centre's restrictions and agreed before we mobilise.
How far do you cover around Oxford?
Oxford city plus Bicester, Abingdon, Witney and the business parks along the A34 and M40 corridor.
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.
