How much does it cost to spray cladding?
There is no flat rate. It depends on the area, the height and access, the panel type and how much cleaning, corrosion treatment and making good comes first. We survey the building for free and quote in writing for the work it actually needs, so the figure reflects your elevation rather than a generic estimate.
Is spraying cheaper than replacing the cladding?
Most of the time, yes. Where the panels are sound but faded or chalked, spraying restores the finish and weather protection for a fraction of stripping and re-cladding, and with far less disruption. If the panels are failing or beyond economic repair, we will tell you straight that replacement is the better route.
What is the best paint for metal cladding?
There is no single best product. The right coating depends on the original finish, its condition and how exposed the building is. We specify a system to suit plastisol, PVF2 or bare metal at survey, with the right primer and prep, which matters far more for durability than the brand on the tin.
Do you do a free survey?
Yes, and it comes first. We won't price a building we haven't looked at properly. A surveyor walks the roof or the wall, works out what it actually needs, and only then do you get a recommendation and a figure.
Do you work on live commercial sites?
Most of our work is on occupied buildings. Factories keep running, shops keep trading, cattle stay in the shed. We plan access, safety and sequencing around your operation so the job barely touches it.
Can a coating save us a full replacement?
Often, yes. Where the substrate is sound but weathered, coating buys it more life for a fraction of the disruption of stripping and replacing. Where it's too far gone, we'll say so. Coating over a failing roof just hides the bill until next winter.
Do you publish fixed prices?
No, and be wary of anyone who does without seeing the building. Access, condition, prep and repairs swing the cost too much for that. We quote once we know what we're actually dealing with.
