Apex delivers complete refurbishment and spray coating programmes for industrial units, factories, warehouses and distribution facilities. We coordinate access, preparation, masking and application around the needs of the site, restoring large areas of cladding, steelwork, shutters, doors, trims and associated building elements. Our approach is designed to improve presentation, reinforce asset value and provide a consistent, professional finish across the entire property.
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.

Industrial unit, factory and warehouse spray painting
Our industrial spray painting service covers factories, warehouses, distribution buildings and complete industrial units across the UK. Work can include profiled cladding, roller shutters, personnel doors, structural steelwork, fascias, soffits, gutters, downpipes and suitable internal surfaces.
Each refurbishment is planned around access, vehicle movements and the client’s operation. Chemical cleaning, pressure washing, removal of failing coatings, sanding, repairs, corrosion treatment and compatible primers are completed as required before the finish coats are sprayed.

Apex plans and delivers spray painting programmes for factories, warehouses and industrial units across the UK. We work with owners, facilities teams and contractors who need a coordinated finish across multiple parts of an operational building.
Apex sprays suitable existing metal cladding on industrial and commercial buildings. Where the sheets remain sound, a properly prepared coating can restore a consistent colour and protective finish without replacing the whole elevation.
At the former Travis Perkins site in Leeds, Apex refurbished two industrial buildings. The scope combined grey cladding with black architectural details, doors, shutters and fencing, yellow barriers and prepared internal breeze-block walls. The linked case study records that building's preparation and finish, showing how separate surfaces can be coordinated within one refurbishment.
Exterior and interior surfaces need separate specifications
An industrial unit may contain profiled metal cladding, painted steel, moving shutters and porous internal walls. We assess each surface rather than using one coating for everything. The quotation identifies preparation, repairs, primers and finishes for the included elements, plus access and protection of neighbouring stock, vehicles and equipment.
What determines an industrial spraying quotation?
The area to be coated is only part of the cost. Height and access equipment, failing paint, corrosion, repairs, masking, the number of colours and the coating specification all affect the scope. An occupied factory may also need work in stages. Send elevation photographs, approximate dimensions, the site location and operating hours so we can assess the work before confirming a quotation.
Plan the refurbishment around your operation
Before work starts, we discuss loading bays, staff entrances, vehicle routes and areas needing protection. Cleaning, preparation and spraying can require different working zones. Where practical, elevations can be phased to suit the site; any shutdown requirements and restrictions should be agreed in advance. Drying and return-to-service times depend on the selected coating and conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Can cladding, shutters and steelwork be included together?
Yes. These can form one refurbishment programme, with separate preparation and coating requirements for each substrate. The quotation identifies the included surfaces and any exclusions.
What should I send for an industrial unit quotation?
Send the address, photographs of each elevation and damaged areas, approximate dimensions, the desired colour and sheen, and any access or operating restrictions. A site assessment may be needed before the specification is confirmed.
York and Yorkshire coating services
Apex is based in York and undertakes suitable projects nationwide. Explore our local coverage and genuine regional project experience.
Send the postcode, photographs of each elevation, close-ups of defects, approximate dimensions and your preferred finish. Tell us about trading hours, access restrictions and any deadline.
2. Assess the work
We review the surfaces, existing coating, corrosion, masking and access. Where photographs cannot establish the scope, we discuss a site assessment before confirming the preparation and coating approach.
3. Agree the written quotation
The proposed work should identify included surfaces, preparation, repairs, coating system, colour, access arrangements, price and exclusions. Programme, payment terms and applicable guarantee conditions are agreed before work begins.
Quotations are free. Send photos by WhatsApp or direct email through our project enquiry options. A site visit and its arrangements are discussed where needed.
