Why Reading

Why choose us for warehouse and industrial coatings in Reading and Thames Valley.

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.

Reading 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 · Reading

What clients in Reading usually ask first.

Can you decorate occupied office floors?
Yes. Thames Valley work is mostly live: phased floor-by-floor, low-odour systems, and evening or weekend cuts so staff keep working around us.
Do you spray on site?
Yes. On-site spraying gives a factory-grade finish to partitions, doors and joinery without removing them, contained and masked for an occupied building.
How far do you cover from Reading?
The whole Thames Valley: Bracknell, Slough, Maidenhead, Newbury and the M4 parks between Reading and London.
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.
