We transform offices, retail premises, business parks and commercial properties using carefully specified coating systems and disciplined site preparation. Whether a building needs a complete colour change, a refreshed corporate identity, end-of-lease reinstatement or preparation for sale or re-letting, Apex provides a controlled programme from survey through to completion with minimal avoidable disruption.
Every project begins with an assessment of the substrate, existing coating and site conditions. The exact preparation and coating specification is then matched to the work required. For exterior work, UV-resistant systems are specified where appropriate to help reduce fading and preserve the colour and appearance for longer.

Apex refreshes customer-facing commercial properties, from car dealerships and retail premises to shopfronts and business units. We help clients update a building's appearance and colour scheme while planning around its day-to-day use.
A colour change may include cladding, doors, curtain walling, shopfront frames and trims. We assess each material and its existing finish separately, then coordinate the chosen colour and sheen. The quotation should identify preparation, repairs, included surfaces and access arrangements so property owners and facilities teams can compare the actual scope.
Trading hours, public access and pricing
Building size, surface condition, access height, masking around glass and signage, colours and phased working all affect the price. Tell us about customers, tenants and delivery routes when enquiring. We discuss a practical sequence for the work and any areas that must be closed while preparation or application takes place.
Frequently asked questions
Can spraying support a rebrand or new tenancy?
Yes. Suitable existing building elements can be prepared and recoated in an agreed colour scheme. Send the surfaces to be included, any RAL specification and your planned programme.
Can you work while the premises remain occupied?
This depends on access, the coating and the operation. We discuss protection, safe working zones, opening hours and any temporary closures before agreeing the programme.
