Southampton 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 · 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.

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.
