Overview
PMS contacted Anglia Decor to assess and quote areas of their building where the existing cladding spraying had failed. Sections of the building showed visible peeling, flaking, and bare metal exposure, a common issue on older profiled metal cladding that has not been maintained with the correct coating system. A full refurbishment of the affected areas was required to protect the substrate and restore the building's appearance.
Access and Surface Preparation
We hired a 21-metre cherry picker to reach the upper elevations and arranged scaffold access to a section of the building not reachable by MEWP. With safe access established across the full working area, our team began preparation by degreasing and pressure washing all affected cladding to remove flaking coating, dirt, and surface contaminants. The cladding was then rubbed down by hand and machine to remove all loose material and create a sound, clean substrate. Where bare metal was exposed, rust-inhibiting primer was applied to prevent further corrosion before the top coat stage.
Coating System Applied
The cladding was finished with 2 coats of Noxyde in white, achieving a dry film thickness of 400 microns. Noxyde is a high-build elastomeric coating specifically formulated for metal cladding and roofing substrates. It bridges hairline cracks, accommodates thermal movement in profiled metal panels, and provides long-term protective coatings. The 400-micron DFT delivers a robust, weather-resistant barrier that far exceeds the performance of standard exterior paints on metal substrates.
Results
Anglia Decor completed the PMS cladding refurbishment within 2 weeks, bringing the building back to a fully protected and professional standard. The failed coatings were completely removed and replaced with a high-performance Noxyde system designed to withstand the long-term weathering demands of external metal cladding. PMS now has a building envelope that is both visually restored and properly protected against future coating failure.
