At VariBlast, we carry out detailed quality control checks throughout the preparation and coating process – including DFT (Dry Film Thickness) readings.

A project we started this year is now well underway, with works progressing efficiently on site in partnership with PPH Access.

Throwback to our works at Wesley Camden, following off-site preparation and coating.

We also use high-quality shop-applied paint systems in controlled off-site environments,.

During a recent site visit to a multi-level carpark, we observed first-hand the consequences of not accounting for micro-climates when applying surface coatings. Water-based intumescent coatings had been applied throughout, yet large…

We are pleased to announce that we are now accredited by SafeContractor, one of the UK’s most widely recognised health and safety certification schemes. This accreditation demonstrates that our health and safety…

We have developed a strong specialism in the refurbishment of Type A hangars, having completed numerous projects of this kind over the years. This example above demonstrates the characteristic scale and structural form that makes these buildings so distinctive, particularly the brickwork to the elevations and the large trusses visible overhead.

Decades of service have taken their toll, and the inspection photographs show widespread coating failure and heavy corrosion.

Some time ago, we completed a specialist internal steel preparation project for Morgan Sindall at Morley College, where we were appointed to remove existing lead-based coatings from internal steelwork within a fully occupied building.
