Agricultural Building Coatings for Barns, Sheds and Farm Units

Standing up to the British elements

British farm buildings take a relentless beating: driving rain, persistent damp, freeze-thaw and salt-laden air near the coast all attack steel sheets, fibre-cement and rendered walls. Left untreated, that exposure brings rust, leaks, failed laps and spreading corrosion that shortens the life of the structure. A properly specified coating seals the surface, slows the weathering and buys you years of extra service from a building you already own.

We work across the UK on commercial, industrial and agricultural structures, applying protective roof coatings and wall systems chosen to suit the substrate and the conditions on your site. The right answer is not always a coating, and we will tell you when repair or replacement is the better call.

• Weatherproofing for steel, box-profile and fibre-cement roofs
• Wall coatings and cladding spraying for sheds and stores
• Treatment that targets rust and corrosion at source, not just the surface
• Systems suited to exposed, high-wind and coastal sites

Coatings for livestock, grain and dairy

Different farm buildings put different demands on a coating. Livestock housing throws out high humidity and ammonia from slurry and bedding, which sees off ordinary paint fast, so we specify coatings built to resist ammonia and chemical attack inside these units. Grain stores and cold buildings suffer from condensation, where warm, moist air meets cold steel and drips back onto the stock; anti-condensation coatings hold a layer of moisture in a breathable membrane and release it as conditions change, helping keep the produce dry.

We match the product to the building rather than slap one finish everywhere, drawing on polyurethane, silicone and epoxy systems depending on the flex, the chemical resistance and the substrate.

• Livestock and dairy: ammonia-resistant, washable coatings
• Grain and produce stores: anti-condensation systems to cut the drips
• Steel and box-profile roofs: flexible coatings that move with the sheet
• Rendered and brick walls: breathable, water-shedding finishes

Asbestos roofs and cut-edge corrosion

Many older farm roofs are fibre-cement containing asbestos. Removal is disruptive, costly and brings a licensed disposal burden, so encapsulation is often the more sensible route: a specialist coating over the sheets seals the surface, binds the fibres and stops further weather damage, leaving the roof watertight and the building in use. Encapsulation should only follow a proper condition assessment, and we will say if a roof is too far gone to treat.

On profiled metal roofs, the exposed cut edges of the overlapping sheets rust first and fail early. Our cut-edge corrosion treatment cleans back the affected metal and rebuilds the protection at those vulnerable laps, halting the rust before it eats into sound sheeting.
