Cladding spraying typically costs around £8 to £20 per square metre in the UK, depending on access, panel condition and the coating system. A standard 2,000m² industrial unit usually falls between £16,000 and £40,000 sprayed in place, well below the cost of full re-cladding.

What Affects the Cost per Square Metre?
Three factors move the rate most: access, condition and coating choice. Tall elevations needing scaffold or access platforms cost more than low single-storey units. Heavy cut-edge corrosion adds preparation time. Premium coating systems with longer warranties carry a higher material price than standard refurbishment finishes.
| Cost factor | Lower rate | Higher rate |
|---|---|---|
| Easy-access single-storey unit | £8/m² | £12/m² |
| Multi-storey, scaffold required | £12/m² | £18/m² |
| Heavy corrosion / premium system | £15/m² | £20/m² |
Is Spraying Cheaper Than Re-Cladding?
Spraying costs far less than replacement, often a third or less of the re-sheeting price. Full re-cladding means stripping panels, disposal, new sheets and downtime. The two routes are compared in detail, with the decision points that favour each, in our guide to cladding spraying compared with full replacement.
Does a Cheaper Coating Cost More Long-Term?
Coating quality drives whole-life cost. A budget system that needs redoing sooner can cost more across 20 years than a premium one. Weigh the rate against durability using our guide to how long a sprayed cladding coating lasts, which sets out realistic lifespans by system and exposure.
