How a Staffordshire Food Wholesaler Chose Cladding Respray Over Costly Replacement
The Client: A Growing Burton-on-Trent Business
Waterside Food Services is a thriving, family-run food wholesaler based in Burton-on-Trent, supplying catering and foodservice products across the Midlands. Due to significant growth, they acquired a new operational base at Waterside Business Park in Rugeley, Staffordshire (DE14/DE15 postcode area). The building was sound, but its exterior was letting them down.
The Challenge: A Dilapidated Exterior in Burton-on-Trent
The newly acquired industrial unit in the Burton-on-Trent area had severely faded and weathered cladding. This presented a critical business dilemma for this growing Burton-based company:
Poor Image: The rundown appearance did not reflect their modern, professional brand, potentially undermining client confidence in the competitive Burton-on-Trent market.
The Critical Decision: They were torn between the immense cost and disruption of full cladding replacement versus seeking a cladding restoration solution in Burton-on-Trent.
Operational Imperative: As a busy wholesaler in the East Staffordshire region, they needed a solution that caused minimal disruption to their daily logistics and delivery schedules.
The Solution: A Burton-on-Trent Specific Assessment & A Cost-Effective Alternative
Our specialist team conducted a detailed cladding site survey in Rugeley, Burton-on-Trent. We assessed the substrate integrity and confirmed that while the appearance was poor, the cladding itself was structurally sound.
We presented a clear comparison:
-
Substantial Cost Savings: Waterside Food Services achieved a like-new building appearance for up to 80% less than the cost of replacement.
-
Enhanced Brand Image: The fresh, professional exterior now accurately reflects the quality and reliability of their family-run business in Burton-on-Trent saving them £1000’s on replacement.
-
Zero Operational Disruption: The project was completed efficiently with minimal impact on their daily wholesale and delivery operations as we carried out the work during the weekend.
-
We completed this cladding restoration project in just 3 days providing a last minute service due to the urgency to get operational.
-
Long-Term Protection: The new coating system provides superior protection against weathering, extending the claddings lifespan by over 25 years.
For this Burton-on-Trent business, the savings were a "no-brainer." We proceeded with a full industrial cladding respray using high-performance coatings designed for the UK climate.

Advanced Spray Application: Our teams used professional spray equipment to apply a durable, weather-resistant finish in the client's chosen colour, ensuring an even, consistent coat.
Quality Assurance: A final inspection guaranteed a flawless, like-new finish that would protect the building for years to come.
