Let’s discuss cladding spraying vs replacing. When commercial cladding starts to look tired, most assume replacement is the only route. But what many decision-makers don’t realise is that cladding spraying offers the same result at a fraction of the cost, time, and disruption.
Here’s why respraying makes more commercial sense:
Cost savings: Replacing cladding panels involves more than just the cost of new materials. You’ve got scaffolding, skips, labour, site management, and the disposal of old panels to consider. With spraying, you’re preserving what’s already in place and giving it a whole new lease of life. Most projects we deliver come in at 30–60% of the cost of a full strip-and-replace.
Speed and efficiency: We can spray entire elevations in days, not weeks. There’s no dismantling, no waiting on suppliers, and no hidden structural surprises once the cladding is removed. Our prep and spraying techniques mean we’re in and out faster, with minimal fuss.
Repairs: In many cases where cladding has been in situ for years, there are holes from previous signage or impact damaged panels. As part of our preparation, we take care of the repairs prior to spraying so the cladding really does look like new.
Minimal disruption: In most cases, your business stays fully operational. We work around your hours, use mobile access platforms to reduce obstruction, and keep things clean and contained. No need to shut down units, disrupt customers, or deal with noise complaints.
Sustainability: Why send tonnes of perfectly usable material to landfill? Spraying keeps your carbon footprint low by eliminating waste, reducing haulage, and avoiding the energy-intensive production of new metalwork. Plus, we use low-VOC and environmentally friendly coatings wherever possible.
Like-new appearance: A properly sprayed finish is often indistinguishable from a factory-applied one. We can colour match to existing branding or modernise with a bold new scheme. The result? Improved kerb appeal, increased property value, and a better impression on clients and tenants.
Here’s a simple comparison:
| Aspect | Spraying | Replacing |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower – no material replacement | Higher – materials, labour, waste |
| Time | Quick – minimal disruption | Slower – full teardown required |
| Waste | Minimal | High – skip loads of offcuts |
| Environmental impact | Low – reuses existing materials | High – more transport, disposal |
| Disruption | Low – works around your hours | High – often needs closure |
We’ve had countless clients tell us they never knew spraying was an option until we showed them the results. It’s one of the most overlooked solutions in property maintenance, but also one of the most powerful. If you’re considering giving your premises a facelift, get in touch. Let’s talk about how we can save you time, money, and hassle while delivering a finish that stands the test of time.
