We spray the outside of commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings across Coventry and the West Midlands: profiled steel, fibre-cement, render, composite panel. If it’s on the outside of your building, chances are we coat it. We’re not a domestic decorator or a manufacturer; we’re a contractor who understands what needs doing to a building that’s worked hard. For landlords and agents, that often means getting a unit ready for the market, smartening it up for viewings, shortening voids, dealing with dilapidations. From our location near the M6 and A45, we regularly work on multi-site estates across the region.
When we advise against coating a building
We won’t recommend coating if the existing finish is peeling away in sheets, not just weathering. We’ll say no if corrosion has perforated the panels, or if the cladding is loose, damaged, or hiding water ingress. And we won’t touch it if the real problem is the fire performance of the panel system. Spraying won’t fix any of that. If our survey finds these issues, we’ll tell you straight, and we’ll give you our view on the right fix, whoever carries it out. Coating over a failing substrate isn’t a saving; you just end up paying twice.
The Coventry jobs that go wrong are the quick overpaints. A proper respray sequence, wash, treat, repair, spray, is what we quote.
Building types and surfaces we coat in Coventry
The West Midlands’ industrial roots are clear in Coventry’s buildings: manufacturing and engineering units on the older estates, big distribution sheds near the motorways, and all the trade parks, retail units and offices that grew up around them. We see cladding from every era, from early profiled steel and plastisol-coated sheet to modern composite panel and glazed framing. Rebranding drives a lot of the work here. Units change hands, national businesses refresh their colours, and a sprayed colour change is the quickest way to make an existing building match a new identity without ripping off the cladding. Age isn’t the main thing, condition is. A forty-year-old elevation with sound, well-adhered sheet can be a perfect candidate for spraying. A much younger building with widespread delamination? Probably not. We only know after we’ve inspected it.
How we approach commercial cladding spraying projects
Every project follows the same sequence. The order is important:
- We survey the building and carry out adhesion tests. We map any corrosion at the edges, laps and gutters.
- You get a written condition report from us, with a straight recommendation.
- We carry out repairs, clean the surface, treat any corrosion and prime it. This all depends on the substrate.
- We mask up, then spray the coating, building it up in even coats.
- We walk you through a final inspection of every elevation.
We’re based in the South East but we work nationally. We combine our Coventry surveys easily with work in Nuneaton, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Birmingham. So if you have multi-site estates across the region, we can review them in one visit. We keep occupied buildings occupied. We plan masking, access and working hours with your site team, not just impose them.
Survey-led cladding spraying and coating across Coventry
Coventry rebuilt itself thoroughly after the war. We see the legacy of that in the city’s commercial buildings: profiled steel on the manufacturing and automotive-supply units that still drive the economy, composite panel on newer logistics sheds, curtain walling and fascia panels on offices and retail. Cladding spraying in Coventry means dealing with all of it. Different types, different ages, different problems. If you buy coating work on price alone, you’re usually buying it on hope. If you start with a survey, you’re buying it on evidence: the actual substrate, the actual adhesion, the actual corrosion. That’s the difference between a finish that performs for years and one that starts lifting after the first hard winter.
We work survey-led across all those buildings. We inspect the cladding, we establish its condition, we decide if coating it makes sense. Only then do we talk about specification or price. The variety is the point. If a contractor treats every elevation as just another square metre of wall, they’ll get half of them wrong. Buildings in Coventry need the right coating for what’s actually on the wall, not a one-size-fits-all approach. If you own or manage clad buildings in Coventry or anywhere else in the West Midlands, start with our inspection. It commits you to nothing, it’s the only stage where walking away is easy, and everything sensible in the project flows from it.
