TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

ASSET LONGEVITY & CORROSION PROTECTION

Protective coatings only last when surface preparation and application are both done properly. Where a job needs it, we carry out the shot blasting ourselves, so the surface is clean and correctly profiled before the first coat goes on. Every system is then applied by spray or brush, exactly to the paint manufacturer's specification.

We measure dry film thickness (DFT) at every stage and control conditions during application, including humidity, dew point and surface temperature. That precision prevents defects such as micro-cracking and makes sure the coating performs as specified. Coating systems are specified to suit the environment's corrosivity category under ISO 12944, and we apply them exactly to that specification.

Technical FAQ

Technical | Commercial | Hazardous

WHAT COATING SYSTEMS DO YOU USE FOR HEAVY INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS?

We apply high-performance epoxy and polyurethane systems, selected to suit the asset and its environmental exposure. Every system is applied by spray or brush, exactly to the paint manufacturer's specification.

HOW DO YOU ENSURE CORRECT DRY FILM THICKNESS (DFT)?

We check wet film thickness with a comb gauge during application, then measure dry film thickness with calibrated electronic gauges once the coating has cured. Readings are recorded against the manufacturer's and project specifications.

CAN YOU APPLY COATINGS ON LIVE OPERATIONAL SITES?

Yes. We regularly work on live commercial and industrial sites. We use strict zoning, sheeted enclosures and out-of-hours scheduling to keep disruption to a minimum.

HOW DO WEATHER CONDITIONS AFFECT APPLICATION SCHEDULES?

We monitor humidity, dew point, and air and surface temperatures throughout. In poor conditions, we use environmental controls such as industrial dehumidifiers and heaters to keep conditions within the coating's limits.

WHAT ACCREDITATIONS DO YOUR OPERATIVES HOLD?

All operatives are fully trained and hold relevant CSCS, IPAF, and PASMA certifications, ensuring safe and compliant operations at height and in hazardous environments.

WHAT IS THE TYPICAL PROJECT DURATION FOR STRUCTURAL STEEL PAINTING?

Duration depends on the scope, access and coating specification. We confirm a programme with every quote and scale our teams to meet commercial deadlines without compromising quality or safety.

DO YOU PREPARE CONCRETE FLOORS FOR INDUSTRIAL FLOOR COATINGS?

Yes. We shot blast concrete floors to remove laitance, contamination and failed coatings. This leaves the clean, profiled surface that resin and epoxy floor coatings need to bond. The process is dust-controlled, so it suits live warehouses and factories.
