Why coat rather than just repaint?
A coating is a thick, flexible film built to last. Masonry paint is mostly colour, and it flakes and fades within a few years. The coating sheds water, resists cracking and staining, and goes much longer before it needs touching. That means fewer scaffold, prep and labour bills, which is where most of the cost of a repaint actually sits.
How much does commercial wall coating cost?
There is no single figure, and anyone who gives you one down the phone is guessing. It comes down to the wall area, the access, the state of the substrate and how much prep or repair it needs first. We survey the building for free, then put a written quote in front of you that reflects your actual property.
Is it really waterproof and breathable?
Both, by design. The coating keeps wind-driven rain out of the wall while letting the moisture already in the substrate escape, so you are not sealing damp in behind a watertight skin. That balance is what stops blown render and damp coming back. We match the exact system to your wall at survey.
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.
