What we typically find on South East commercial stock.
Coastal exposure, conservation status and Thames Valley tenant programmes are the three recurring constraints.
Salt-corrosion on coastal frontages
Brighton, Worthing, Eastbourne, Bournemouth and Portsmouth seafront stock suffers accelerated powder-coat breakdown. We specify Qualicoat-approved marine-grade finishes with appropriate frame-to-fixing isolation.
Conservation high-street retail
Tunbridge Wells Pantiles, Canterbury Burgate, Guildford High Street and Winchester High Street all carry conservation area status. We supply slim-sightline aluminium acceptable to borough conservation officers.
1980s Thames Valley office parks
Reading, Slough and Basingstoke business-park stock from the 1980s carries failing curtain wall losing EPC grades. We overclad or replace floor-by-floor, sequenced around tenant trading hours.
Hospitality entrance compliance
South Coast hotels and venues routinely fail current DDA standards on entrance doors. We install BS EN 16005-compliant automatic systems with full handover documentation.
