The Problem

Cladding

The building is dockside, so is exposed to a lot of salt spray and strong weather conditions. The existing coating material had come to the end of its life and this was apparent by the amount of “chalking” from UV attack around the building, which is the first sign that the original material is starting to breakdown.
It was important to rectify this and carry out work before the sheets start to breakdown, causing further damage to the exterior and potentially interior of the building.
The client needed to continue to protect the building and also improve the aesthetic, especially in such a prevalent dockside area.

Metal Roof

The roof was also suffering from aging, but also the conditions of the environment.
Cut-edge-corrosion had set in to the overlaps of sheets as well as sheet ends and over fixings

How did we approach the challenge:

We attended a detailed site visit and inspection with the Associated British Ports Manager for the location. They needed to mobilise the job quickly. We approached our Approved Contractor, Architectural Coating Solutions (ACS) who were able to attend the site within a week and then start the job within two weeks. We gave guidance on the best system to use with the substrate and we put forward our recommendations for preparation and repairs prior to any application of materials.

Delivering the Solution

For both the walls and the roof, we collectively with ACS advised the client to pressure wash the building to remove all surface contamination, especially relevant was the salts based on it being dockside
We also provided guidance on removal of all loose material.
Where materials had been removed we asked ACS to abrade these areas back to a well adhered feathered edge ensuring adhesion going forward
All rust was spot primed with Advantage® Metal Primer with the inclusion of Graphene to prevent further rusting.
One full coat of CladRenew® was applied to the building at the correct thickness for the system
This was monitored as work progressed with Wet Film Thickness Gauges, the colour was given to us by the client and in this case was a RAL code in Blue.
Once prepared and pre-treatments carried out using Advantage® for CEC the roof was coated at 200 microns with one full coat of Advantage® 20 for Metal Roofs.
The building looked refreshed with walls and roof well protected for the future leaving the client and contractor happy with the systems proposed and installed.
As part of our Contractor Support Service, regular on-site visits were made at various stages to inspect the works carried out.

"We had a very tricky 1000 M2 roof to complete, but Alltimes have been excellent from start to finish, from their technical side to the actual quality of the product. Advantage Graphene is very user friendly and I only had positive reviews from the lads on site.
