An international company, with premises in Milton Keynes, approached us with a clear objective: to refresh the exterior appearance of their large warehouse building. The original paint had faded over time, and with the launch of their new brand guidelines, they sought to highlight the updated colour scheme.
Project Overview
The warehouse, a substantial structure measuring approximately 100 metres by 70 metres (circa 75,000 sq ft), features large white cladding panels with a prominent horizontal stripe running around the building. The client requested that the purple stripe be repainted in a deep, vibrant purple to match their new branding.
Delivering Efficiency and Minimising Disruption
From initial quote to commencing work, we turned the project around in just one week. To ensure minimal disruption to the client’s daily operations, we carefully planned the work schedule. One elevation was completed during the working week, while the second elevation was painted at the weekend, as the area directly in front of the building serves as a car park. This approach allowed us to maintain the smooth running of the client’s business without inconvenience to their staff.
Collaboration and Communication
Throughout the project, we maintained close communication with the client’s team to align on timing, colour accuracy, and access requirements. This collaborative approach ensured the project progressed smoothly and met all expectations.
Precision and Attention to Detail
The client’s team provided their exact RAL colour code for the new deep purple stripe, and we expertly matched the paint to achieve perfect consistency. Given the cladding material of the building and the presence of multiple security cameras, we took great care to protect all non-painted surfaces. Using heavy-duty masking paper, we meticulously covered windows, wiring, and cladding panels, ensuring no overspray or damage occurred.
The purple stripe was applied using high-quality spray techniques, requiring three coats to guarantee full coverage and vibrancy. Notably, the paint used was an ink-based product rather than a traditional paint, offering superior pigmentation and durability. This choice also meant the finish carries a 10-year warranty, providing the client with long-term peace of mind.
Health and Safety Commitment
Our team strictly adhered to all relevant health and safety protocols, especially when working at height and around operational premises, ensuring a safe environment for both our crew and the client’s staff.
Equipment and Execution
To safely and efficiently access all areas of the warehouse’s exterior, we utilised cherry pickers and our team of professional sprayers. Our highly experienced team worked diligently to complete the entire project within five days.
Exterior Warehouse Painting Outcome
The project was delivered on time, to specification, and with a focus on maintaining the client’s operations and security. The fresh, deep purple stripe now stands out boldly against the white cladding, perfectly aligning with the company’s new brand image. Our client was pleased with the professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication demonstrated throughout the project.
At every stage, we prioritised customer satisfaction, going the extra mile to ensure not just a quality finish but also a smooth, hassle-free experience. We look forward to continuing to support them with future maintenance and improvement projects, including replacing their signage to reflect the new branding, reinforcing our commitment to their ongoing satisfaction and success.
