Can overpainting be carried out by most local decorating contractors ?
In general terms Yes, depending upon the scale of works each contractor has experience of and the equipment to handle. Steelseal application is straight forward by either airless spray or brush, and should be well within the capabilities of most experienced industrial painting firms, however we would recommend that a specialist contractor is used. For larger scale applications it is wise to appoint a specialist applicator who has specific experience in cladding maintenance and redecoration. Correct surface preparation, and identification of the substrate is crucial, and in some cases mastic systems need to be applied to seal overlap joints and for the repair of damaged coating on roof sheets. These procedures are best entrusted to experienced operatives. There are a number of contractors specialising in the treatment and protection of metal cladding, who work on a national or regional basis.
