Our skilled team can also work on buildings, so if you require house painters, need a commercial building repainted, or if you would like to have a property shrink wrapped to protect it from the elements while building or renovating, we can assist you.
If you have a steel framed building, you might also like to think about intumescent fire proofing which will protect the structural integrity of your building in the event of fire.
Painting carried out to the highest standards
At TCL, we use our experience to make sure your painting job is carried out to very high standards.
A specialist paint rep advises throughout every job and will create an exact paint spec for us to follow on every job, thus ensuring every vessel is painted correctly the first time.
Before any painting work begins, we take climatic humidity readings and if the conditions are not right, we won't paint.
Once work is completed you'll receive a completion report with a complete log of the exact conditions recorded during each stage of any work done.
In the unlikely event of an issue arising, we hold ship repairs insurance to cover any costs.
