Is it cheaper to spray or replace cladding?
Most of the time, spraying sound cladding on site costs a great deal less than a full re-clad, because you skip the stripping, the disposal and weeks at height, and the building stays in use. The exception is cladding that is perforated, failing or beyond economic repair, where replacement is the better long-term value. We confirm which applies at the free survey before you commit.
Can you spray plastisol cladding?
Yes. Faded, chalking plastisol coated steel is one of the most common finishes we refresh. The trick is the prep: the chalky layer is cleaned back, the panels washed down, any cut-edge corrosion treated, and the right primer applied before the topcoat. Skip that and the finish fails early, which is why we confirm the existing coating at survey and specify to match.
How long does sprayed cladding last?
It depends on the system, the condition and prep of the panels, and how exposed the building is. A well-prepared, correctly specified job gives many years before it wants attention. We set out the expected performance and any manufacturer guarantee for your system in the written quote, rather than throw out a blanket figure.
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.
