UK-Based Specialists in Cladding Painting
APT ICC provides professional cladding painting services across England and Wales for buildings with external cladding systems. This service focuses on restoring and protecting cladding surfaces through careful cleaning, preparation, and the application of suitable protective coatings designed for long-term performance.
Cladding painting is suitable for a wide range of building types, including factories, warehouses, offices, retail units, leisure venues, and large commercial premises. We work with many cladding materials, including metal cladding, composite panels, coated steel systems, and other commonly used external finishes. Each project begins with a detailed assessment to understand the condition of the cladding, the environment it is exposed to, and the outcome required.
The service is sometimes referred to as external cladding refurbishment or commercial cladding painting. While the terminology varies, the purpose is the same: to refresh the appearance of the building while protecting the cladding from corrosion, fading, and surface breakdown. Proper preparation is essential and may include specialist cleaning to remove traffic film, algae, pollution staining, and degraded coatings before painting begins.
APT ICC delivers cladding painting on both live and operational sites, using controlled methods that allow businesses to remain open during works where required. Our teams are experienced in working at height and around active environments, ensuring safety, surface protection, and minimal disruption at all times.
With over 35 years of experience, APT ICC is trusted by Facilities Management companies, commercial property owners, and industrial operators to deliver reliable cladding painting services. Recent projects include cladding painting works for Nicholson McLaren, Janome, and Wake the Tiger. All works are completed under strict health, safety, and environmental controls, delivering durable, high-quality results across England and Wales.
“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
“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
“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.”

Cladding painting involves cleaning, preparing, and repainting external cladding panels. The process helps protect the surface from weathering and corrosion while improving the building’s appearance. Preparation is key to achieving long-lasting results.
In many cases, yes. Painting can extend the life of existing cladding and restore its appearance without full replacement. An assessment is needed to confirm whether the cladding is suitable for painting.
Yes, cladding painting can often be carried out on live sites. Work is planned to manage access and minimise disruption to staff, visitors, and operations. Safety controls are put in place throughout the project.
Many cladding systems can be painted, including metal cladding, composite panels, and coated steel. Each material requires suitable preparation and coatings. The surface condition determines the best approach.
Small, low-level areas may be manageable internally. Larger buildings, high-level work, or specialist coatings usually require professional equipment and experience. This helps ensure safety and consistent results.
Longevity depends on the coating used, exposure to weather, and surface condition. Proper preparation and suitable coatings help extend performance. Planned maintenance can further prolong results.
APT ICC delivers professional cladding painting services across England and Wales. We work on commercial and industrial buildings and can also advise on suitable surface treatments and coatings where full painting services are not required.
