Warehouse and industrial coatings · Oxford

Industrial coatings in Oxford.

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 Oxford and Oxfordshire. Facade cleaning, restoration and commercial decorating across Oxford. A city of college stone, listed frontages and the Westgate retail estate. Heritage-safe DOFF cleaning, sympathetic restoration of period metalwork, and retail and commercial decorating worked around a tight, pedestrianised centre.

Oxford 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 · 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.

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.
