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.

What's the warranted service life?

Depends on system and substrate condition. Typically 10, 15 or 20 years. We agree the warranty target before specification.

Will it work on my substrate?

Felt, single-ply, asphalt and metal profile are all coatable subject to survey. We confirm suitability and moisture readings before committing to a spec.

What's the access plan?

Edge protection, MEWP or scaffold, confirmed at survey based on roof height and parapet condition. Set out in full in the RAMS pack before mobilisation.

How long does it take to cure?

Most systems are weather-resistant within hours and fully cured within a week. We plan around the forecast. Application won't happen outside the temperature or dew-point window.

Can it be applied in winter?

Yes, within the system's temperature range. Some systems need minimum 5°C and rising; we won't apply outside the manufacturer's spec regardless of programme pressure.
