Faded or chalking finishes
UV exposure and weathering leave plastisol and coated steel looking tired, patchy and harder to protect.
Commercial cladding refurbishment
Commercial cladding refurbishment.Repair, recoat or reclad.
Survey-led restoration for profiled metal wall and roof cladding—cleaning, repairs, corrosion treatment, protective coatings and colour change without defaulting to full recladding.

The commercial case
Full recladding is not always necessary. If the existing sheets remain serviceable, they can be prepared, repaired and recoated. The survey confirms what can stay.
What goes wrong
Inspect the cladding before specifying a coating.
A colour problem, a corrosion problem and a water-ingress problem may look similar from ground level. They do not receive the same scope.
Corrosion at cuts and fixings
Sheet edges, fasteners, laps and drilled penetrations can become the first points of coating failure.
Water at joints and interfaces
Failed seals, trims, flashings and gutter junctions can move water behind an otherwise serviceable elevation.
A building that no longer represents the occupier
Colour change and controlled restoration can reset the appearance without automatically committing to full recladding.

Repair, prepare, coat or replace?
Ground-level appearance is only the starting signal. Preparation tests and close inspection determine whether the correct route is cleaning, repair, resealing, recoating, local replacement or recladding.
Visible problemWhat must be establishedLikely route when suitable
01Fading or chalking
Test the existing finish and adhesion
Clean, prepare and recoat where the substrate remains sound
02Peeling or delamination
Establish why the previous coating lost adhesion
Remove unstable material and rebuild the compatible coating system
03Local corrosion
Map sheet edges, fixings, laps and exposed metal
Treat corrosion, repair locally and protect the retained sheets
04Failed seals
Inspect laps, openings, flashings and transitions
Renew seals and repair interfaces before decorative coating
05Damaged panels
Separate isolated damage from widespread failure
Replace local panels or trims, then blend into the refurbishment scope
06Water ingress
Trace roof, gutter and wall junctions
Repair the actual route; coating alone is not a leak diagnosis
07Brand or colour change
Confirm coating compatibility and operational constraints
Controlled respray in a suitable RAL or BS colour
08Widespread structural failure
Assess sheets, rails, fasteners and supporting structure
Recladding or structural work may be required instead of coating
Scope of works
Roof and wall cladding in one scope.
The roof, walls, gutters, flashings and penetrations meet each other. Refurbishing them as isolated trades is how defects get missed.
Cladding condition survey
Map coating breakdown, corrosion, failed seals, damaged sheets and interfaces before choosing a finish.
Cleaning and preparation
Specify the preparation standard around the existing coating, contamination and selected refurbishment system.
Cut-edge and local corrosion treatment
Arrest treatable deterioration at sheet edges, laps, fixings and local defects before wider coating.
Local panel, sheet and trim replacement
Replace isolated failed roof or wall cladding elements where the wider envelope remains suitable to retain.
Seal replacement + interface repairs
Renew failed seals at laps, flashings, openings and junctions before the wider coating scope is completed.
Protective respraying + colour change
Restore weather protection and transform tired roof or wall cladding using a compatible coating route.
Roof and wall junction detailing
Treat parapets, flashings, gutters, penetrations and transitions as part of one building-envelope problem.
How we deliver the work
Preparation and coating specified for the existing cladding.
01
Survey
Inspect sheets, coating adhesion, corrosion, seals, fixings and difficult interfaces.
02
Prepare
Define access, cleaning, repairs, masking and the preparation standard.
03
Restore
Carry out local repairs, corrosion treatment and the specified coating build-up.
04
Protect
Record the completed scope and maintain the envelope through planned inspection.
TopSpray35 in application
Preparation and protective coating for commercial cladding.
TopSpray35 is a two-component aliphatic polyurethane protective topcoat for suitable prepared substrates. It supports UV-stable colour and weather protection; it is not presented here as a standalone waterproofing membrane.
The imagery shows application, access, detailing and completed appearance without presenting unnamed buildings as case studies. Preparation, primer, film build, RAL colour and warranty requirements remain project-specific.
Chemistry
