Cladding Spraying

Cladding spraying for industrial and commercial buildings.

Faded, chalky or rust-marked cladding makes a sound building look neglected, and corrosion that starts at cut edges keeps spreading if it is ignored. Asset Access cleans, treats and resprays profiled metal and composite cladding in place across the North East, using rope access on tall elevations instead of scaffold.

01 - Service Detail

Specialist access for North East buildings.

We plan the access method, inspection route and repair sequence around the building, the defect and the disruption risk.

Cut-edge corrosion and tired cladding

Profiled steel sheets are cut to length during installation, and those cut edges are often the least protected part of the panel. On many older industrial buildings rust begins there, at laps and along the bottom of sheets, and the coating gradually lifts back from it. Fading, chalking and staining add to the look of decline even when the panels themselves are sound.

Panels checked for repair or replacement first

Preparing and spraying metal and composite panels

Most of the job is preparation. Panels are washed to remove dirt and chalking, corroded areas are taken back and treated, cut edges are sealed where needed and the surface is primed to suit the existing finish. Topcoats are then sprayed on site in the chosen colour, with glazing, signage and doors masked off.

Warehouses, retail parks and offices

Industrial units, distribution warehouses, trade counters and retail parks often have large cladded elevations above loading doors and yards. Working on ropes, we reach eaves and gable cladding without scaffold or blocking vehicle movements, and can respray in corporate colours as part of a rebrand or before a unit is re-let.

03 - How It Works

Clear process, practical output.

Panel condition survey

We walk each elevation, recording corrosion, damaged sheets, loose fixings and the state of the existing coating.

Wash and treat corrosion

Panels are cleaned down, rust is taken back to a stable surface and treated, and vulnerable cut edges are sealed.

Prime and spray the panels

A compatible primer goes on first, followed by topcoats sprayed in even passes with doors, glazing and signage masked.

Snag and photograph

We check coverage at laps and edges, touch in anything missed and send photos of each finished elevation.

04 - FAQs

Questions customers ask before booking.

Can composite cladding panels be resprayed?

Often, yes, as long as the facing is sound and properly prepared. Panels with delamination, impact damage or moisture inside need assessing first, and some may be better replaced. We check this before quoting.

What causes cut-edge corrosion on cladding?

When profiled sheets are cut, the edge loses some of the protection the face of the sheet has. Moisture sitting at laps and sheet ends then starts corrosion that creeps back under the coating. Treating it early is far cheaper than replacing sheets later.

Do you need scaffold to spray cladding on a warehouse?

Usually not. Rope access suits tall gables and eaves, and lower panels can be done from the ground. That avoids scaffold hire and keeps yards and loading bays working.

Can you change our cladding colour for a rebrand?

Yes. We work to a standard colour reference from your brand guidelines and recommend a trial area on the building so the colour can be approved in daylight before the full respray.
