UK-Based Specialists in Building Painting

APT ICC provides professional building painting services across England and Wales, delivering internal and external painting for a wide range of commercial and industrial properties. Our work focuses on improving appearance while protecting building surfaces through careful preparation, suitable coatings, and controlled application methods.

Building painting covers the painting of internal and external walls, ceilings, cladding, and structural surfaces on offices, factories, hotels, cinemas, sports centres, and other commercial buildings. Surfaces commonly include brickwork, blockwork, concrete, stone, render, K-render, and previously painted finishes. Each project begins with an assessment to determine surface condition, usage, and environmental exposure before any work starts.

The service is sometimes referred to as commercial painting, industrial painting, or building refurbishment painting. While the terms vary, the purpose is the same: to refresh and protect building surfaces while ensuring the work is suitable for the environment and the building remains safe and operational. Proper cleaning and preparation are essential, particularly where surfaces are affected by staining, algae, pollution build-up, or previous coating failure.

APT ICC delivers building painting on both live and vacant sites. Works can be carried out internally or externally and phased where required to minimise disruption to occupants, staff, or the public. Our teams are experienced in working around normal business operations, access constraints, and height requirements, using controlled methods and appropriate access systems.

With over 35 years of experience, APT ICC is trusted by Facilities Management companies, commercial property owners, and industrial operators to deliver reliable building painting services. Recent projects include office painting for Acrow, cladding painting works for Nicholson McLaren, and building painting at Swansea University. All works are completed under strict health, safety, and environmental controls, ensuring high-quality, durable results across England and Wales.

Client Reviews

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council

“I would like to express my sincere thanks to APT for the excellent job they carried out at Tai Bach. The project was a much needed one and now that it is completed it has really helped to improve the look of the town. We have received many good comments from the public which is always a good sign.”

Kevin Hiller - Property Surveyor, Neath & Port Talbot Council

“We employed the services of APT to renovate a Grade 2 Listed Building. Under the directive of Cadw we were not allowed to use any wet process or chemicals within the interior of the building. APT used Soda Blasting on sandstone, brick, ceramic glazed tiles, metal work, paintwork on ceilings, coving, woodwork and ornate fixtures.

It was a great achievement to have one system for all the surfaces that needed cleaning and restoring and one that also ticked all the boxes of the environmental and conservation officers. The process saved us both time & money in being able to have just one company on site. We are very grateful to APT for their hard work on this project.”

Tim Luke - Gee Construction

Overbury

“I would like to thank APT-ICC for their excellent work and assistance on the Barclays Bank project. They delivered the scheme and additional works on time and without issue thanks to Andrew and his team for all your extra effort, long hours and commitment. I look forward to using them on future renovations.”

Graham Lowe - Project Manager, Overbury Plc

Gwynedd Council

“We have been receiving an overwhelming number of positive comments about the war memorial cleaning. Yesterday, during the small ceremony at the Penrallt column on the 1st World War anniversary, many expressed their appreciation for how splendid the memorial looks after the cleaning. We anticipate sharing photos on the internet page later this week. Additionally, we have shared your details with another person who serves as the clerk to two other local councils. Thank you once again for the exceptional work.”

Janice Davies - Gwynedd Council

Frequently Asked Questions

What does building painting include on commercial sites?

Building painting includes internal and external painting of walls, ceilings, cladding, and structural surfaces. It focuses on improving appearance while protecting surfaces from wear and environmental exposure. Preparation is a key part of the process to ensure lasting results.

Can building painting be carried out while the site is still operating?

Yes, in many cases painting can be completed on live sites. Work is usually phased or scheduled to minimise disruption to staff, customers, or the public. The approach depends on access, working hours, and the areas being painted.

Is surface preparation important before painting?

Yes, proper preparation is essential. Surfaces may need cleaning, repairs, or treatment before painting to ensure coatings adhere correctly. Skipping preparation can lead to premature failure or uneven finishes.

Can commercial painting be done in-house?

Small, low-risk areas may be manageable internally. Larger areas, high-level work, or buildings exposed to heavy use or weather usually require specialist equipment and experience. Professional painting helps ensure consistency and safety.

What types of surfaces can be painted?

Commercial painting covers a wide range of surfaces, including brickwork, concrete, render, cladding, steel, and previously painted finishes. Each surface requires suitable coatings and application methods. An assessment helps determine the right approach.

How often should commercial buildings be repainted?

This depends on building use, exposure to weather, and the condition of existing coatings. High-traffic or external areas may need repainting more often than internal spaces. Planned maintenance helps extend the life of surfaces.

Where does APT ICC provide building painting services?

APT ICC delivers professional building painting services across England and Wales. We work on commercial and industrial properties and can also advise on suitable surface treatments and coatings where full painting services are not required.
