Respray Or Replace? How To Revamp Your Commercial Property
There are many reasons why you may want to revamp your business premises. It may simply be looking tired and in need of some TLC. Perhaps you have rebranded and want your property to reflect your new brand colours?
If you have rebranded, you’re not alone given that the majority of businesses rebrand roughly every seven to ten years.
Or maybe you’re moving into a new unit and you need to customise it to represent your business rather than its previous occupants.
Regardless of the reason you are revamping your commercial property, there are two main options when it comes to how you go about it:
Spray paint existing walls and fittings.
Replace cladding and other fittings.
How much does it cost to respray cladding versus replacing it?
This is a question we get asked all the time. Although we can’t give you a definitive figure, because that depends on the nature of the job, we can tell that, typically, spray painting for a commercial property comes in around 80 per cent cheaper than refitting.
That is a significant saving and, if you’re a small business, one you’ll definitely want to make. In the UK, the Federation of Self Employed and Small Businesses (FSB) warned about the impact of cost increases for small businesses later this year.
So, saving a significant sum of money on any rebranding or painting work at your premises could make a big difference.
Plus, you don’t need to worry that you won’t be able to have your exact brand colours. We can colour match because we have access to thousands of paint colours through our paint supplier.
How long does spray painting on UPVC last?
Part of the project to revamp your premises may involve spraying UPVC doors and window frames. It’s understandable that you want to get the most for your money and, naturally, you don’t want to repaint only to find it’s peeling off a few months later.
But you don’t have to be concerned about this issue. We use a specialist paint for all of our spray painting jobs that comes with a manufacturer’s guarantee of ten years on UPVC and composite spray painting jobs.
This will give you peace of mind that your premises will look fantastic not just for months, but for years to come.
How long does it take to spray paint a commercial premises?
The other way in which spray painting is (in our view) superior to a full refit is in how long it takes. Depending on the size of your property and how many surfaces need to be spray painted, our team can usually complete the work in one to three days.
If the job is smaller, we could even be finished within half a day! If you were retrofitting the premises, you’d be in for a much longer haul, complete with the disruption of units being removed and replaced, not to mention the mess.
While we’re not claiming spray painting is completely mess-free, we do make sure to tidy up after ourselves and take all our rubbish away with us once we’ve finished.
