Specialist works

Commercial Painting

We have extensive experience in the industry and cover all areas of industrial and commercial painting from painting bridges and architectural monuments, to paint spraying of large industrial units and line marking of tennis courts.

Free Site Survey

It is important to ascertain the substrate, assess your working environment and discuss any remedial works that may need to be implemented before the painting can go ahead.  We provide a detailed report and a full breakdown quote. A full site survey is carried out by our Specialist Paint Manager.

Any contractor should understand how important it is not to affect the working environment; we consult with you to establish the most appropriate schedules to suit your business and we work around that.

We work closely with our suppliers, whom themselves are experts in their field and we consult with the technical department before we undertake any task.  Our suppliers carry a vast range of standard and specialised paintings and coatings and are more than happy to provide technical information for any project.

Before a surface is painted it is normal for it to be cleaned. It is imperative that the surface to be painted is cleaned with the correct products and application in order to maintain the paintwork and
to provide a professional finish. This is where APT

Draft CASE STUDIES:

Client – Norma UK

Location – Newbury

Scope of Works - industrial machinery cleaning, commercial machinery painting

Brief Overview:
APT were asked by Norma UK to tender for a programme of works at their Newbury production plant. We were required to provide a full schedule of works for a complete deep cleaning of all the tooling and metal working machine heavy presses and then to repaint the machinery in the new corporate colours in the main production areas in readiness for their VIP visiting clients.
We carried a full factory survey and provided proposals for evaluation by the client. We then discussed the cleaning options and methods with the managers and production teams to bring the project in under a tight programme of works.

Issues
The machinery and plant was in constant use with 6-day shift patterns so the schedule for cleaning and painting would be a very tight and coordinated schedule to avoid disruption to daily operations.
We used our APT specialised degreaser, Powermax 2020 and Citrus RTU, to clean throughout the plant heavy presses and cutting and forming equipment as they quickly break down and emulsify all the surface grease, oils and other surface contaminants to allow for washing and wiping off.
We then completed the repainting of the machinery first undercoating and then applied two coats of top coat to reach the desired final finish.
The powermax degreaser was also used for the industrial floor cleaning through the scrubber dryer.

The result/outcome  
APT carried out the programme of works to meet client expectations and have been awarded further ongoing planned schedules of works to ensure further progression of the upgrading to the other areas within the production facility.
Other Comments
As part of our ongoing partnership APT have demonstrated to the client how to implement the Powermax 2020 degreaser into their Kaisan cleaning programmes for weekly cleaning maintenance and floor cleaning tasks.

Testimonial
“APT was engaged to carry out a demanding programme of industrial plant machinery cleaning and commercial re-painting works. They have delivered excellent results clearly demonstrating their competence to deliver the required results, we will continue to use their services to support our ongoing operations”
