Aircraft Hangar and Defence Estate Coating Specialists

Coating Aircraft Hangars and Defence Estates

Hangars and large defence structures are coating work at a different scale. The spans are enormous and uninterrupted, the roofs and walls cover huge areas, and the expectations around specification, documentation and standards are higher than on a typical commercial shed. We are an exterior coatings contractor, and on these buildings the survey, the access planning and the phasing all have to be sized to match.

Because we survey before we recommend anything, we can be honest about whether industrial roof coatings and cladding spraying will protect the structure or whether a section needs repair or replacement first. The aim is a sound, weather-tight envelope specified to the substrate and exposure.

• Roof coatings for very large profiled-metal and composite hangar roofs
• Cladding spraying for huge wall elevations and gable ends
• Cut-edge corrosion treatment on exposed edges, laps and fixings
• Wall coatings matched to the substrate and exposure

Scale, Specification and Controlled Access

The size of a hangar means condition surveys, access and phasing are planned at scale, with the work broken into sensible sections rather than attempted as one hit. Specifications and documentation expectations are higher on these estates, and the coating route is matched to the substrate and exposure with that in mind.

Secure and operational sites mean inductions, escorting and access windows, so the programme is built around clearance and site control rather than assumed. Cut-edge corrosion is treated as preparation, with edges and laps cleaned back, treated and sealed before any topcoat goes on.

We work on commercial and industrial buildings across the UK. Whether your site sits in Oxfordshire, the South West, the Midlands or further afield, the route is the same: a free site survey first, then a written recommendation. See the areas we cover for examples of the towns and cities we work in.
