A change of tenant or a brand refresh often leaves a building looking out of step with the company inside it. The cladding might be a faded blue when the new identity is grey, and the fascias may still carry the last occupier’s colours. A commercial building colour change brings the exterior back in line […]

Repainting cladding is a rare chance to change how a whole building reads from the road. Most operators choose a colour once and then live with it for years, so it pays to fix the reference before any spray reaches the panels. Getting a cladding colour right is part practical, part planning, and part matching […]

A commercial roof coating is only as good as the survey behind it and the crew standing on the platform. Most of the enquiries we take begin with a quote from a company that never set foot on the roof. Choosing a coating contractor well comes down to asking a handful of plain questions before […]

On most factory roofs, stopping production is the expensive part, not the coating itself. Managers often assume a roof refurbishment means shutting the line down for a week, but a factory roof coating can usually be planned so the work moves with your shifts rather than against them.

A grain store that sweats through every cold snap, a livestock unit where ammonia has crept into the sheet fixings, an asbestos cement barn that nobody wants to lay a ladder against. These are the jobs we survey most weeks. Agricultural building coating sits apart from ordinary commercial work because a farm roof is asked […]

Every few winters, a facilities manager stands under a dripping industrial roof and asks the same thing: do we coat it, or strip it off and start again? Roof coating vs reroof is rarely a question with one right answer for every building. What decides it is the condition survey, not a preference or a […]

Most property owners only think about asbestos when a lender, insurer or buyer asks for the paperwork. By then the questions come quickly, and the honest answer is often that nobody has checked in years. This is where the duty to manage asbestos comes in: the law does not require you to strip everything out, […]

A landlord asked us recently whether coating the roof of a let warehouse would push its EPC from an F up to an E before a lease renewal. It is a fair question, and the honest answer is usually no, not on its own. Understanding a MEES commercial roof project means separating what the roof […]
