Warehouse and industrial coatings · Bournemouth

Industrial coatings in Bournemouth.

We coat warehouses without shutting them down. Walls, steelwork, high bays, one zone at a time, around your shifts. Intumescent protection on structural steel where the fire rating needs it. Delivered across Bournemouth and Dorset. Our home patch. Retail refurbishment, commercial decorating and frame restoration across Bournemouth, Poole and the wider Dorset coast. Town-centre and Castlepoint retail, the hotel and hospitality frontages along the seafront, and the salt-weathered shopfronts that restoration recovers without replacement.

Why Bournemouth

Why choose us for warehouse and industrial coatings in Bournemouth and Dorset.

Track record

  • Live-site delivery. Racking stays in place, operations continue around us
  • Intumescent system application with manufacturer certificate at handover
  • Per-zone handover and record, not a single sign-off at the end of the job

Right fit when

  • The site needs to keep operating throughout. Shutting down is not an option.
  • Structural steelwork needs intumescent protection or a specialist two-pack system.
  • Access spans high bay, racking and overhead conveyors where standard ladders won't reach.

Bournemouth programme

How we run warehouse and industrial coatings schemes locally.

  1. 01 · Survey

    Live-site walk with FM: agree zones, shift pattern and exclusion-zone boundaries. Capture steel condition (corrosion grade, existing coating system, intumescent requirement). Access method confirmed per bay.

  2. 02 · Specification

    System per zone and steel type: anti-corrosion epoxy primer and polyurethane topcoat for structural steel; intumescent system where fire rating is required (with third-party certification); single-coat refresh for non-structural surfaces. MEWP or scaffold specified to bay height.

  3. 03 · RAMS

    Per-zone RAMS covering racking interaction (working over vs. working around), MEWP safe working plan, emergency evacuation with FM, COSHH for two-pack catalysts, ATEX declaration if zone applies.

  4. 04 · Delivery

    Zone-by-zone delivery. Each zone is returned to live operations before the next opens. Forklift aisles not shared mid-coat. Shift timing agreed with FM weekly.

  5. 05 · Handover

    Per-zone record, film thickness readings, intumescent certificate where the system warrants it. FM sign-off before each zone returns to full operation.

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.
Can the warehouse keep operating throughout?
Yes. The whole programme uses zonal delivery so live operations continue around us. Active aisles and adjacent zones stay open.
Do you certify intumescent work?
Yes. When we apply an approved intumescent system, the manufacturer's certificate ships with the handover record.
What about ATEX zones?
We work in ATEX zones with appropriate kit, method statement and relevant permit-to-work. This is flagged and planned at survey.
What happens to the racking?
Racking stays in place. We work around it or use MEWPs to reach over. Any racking movement is the FM's decision and is priced separately.
Can forklifts still run during application?
Not in the active zone. We coordinate the exclusion schedule with the FM so forklift routes are maintained in adjacent zones throughout.
