UK-Based Specialists in Machinery Painting
APT ICC provides specialist machinery painting services across England and Wales for industrial, commercial and public-sector environments. Machinery painting focuses on restoring and protecting equipment surfaces while ensuring coatings are suitable for operational use and site conditions.
The service is sometimes referred to as industrial machinery painting or equipment coating. While the terminology varies, the purpose remains the same: to properly prepare and coat machinery so it is protected against corrosion, contamination and ongoing wear. This applies to both new machinery requiring protective coatings and older equipment needing refurbishment or re-coating.
APT ICC paints a wide range of machinery, including CNC machines such as Mazak machining centres, milling machines, drilling equipment, transformers and large fixed plant. Works can be carried out on individual machines or as part of wider factory refurbishment programmes. Cleaning and preparation methods are selected based on the machine type, surface condition and operating environment, ensuring coatings bond correctly without affecting functionality.
All machinery painting projects are assessment-led, with careful consideration given to live operations, access restrictions and safety requirements. Where required, works are planned around production schedules to minimise disruption and downtime. Preparation may involve controlled cleaning methods to remove grease, oils, corrosion or existing coatings before paint systems are applied.
With over 35 years of experience, APT ICC is trusted to deliver machinery painting in active and sensitive environments across England and Wales. Recent projects include machinery painting works for Abingdon Flooring, Goodfellow, KontrolTek and Statera. All services are delivered under strict health, safety and environmental controls, providing durable, high-quality finishes that protect equipment and support efficient operations.
“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.”
Janice Davies - Gwynedd Council
Machinery painting involves cleaning, preparing, and painting industrial equipment to protect it from corrosion, wear, and contamination. The process helps extend the life of machinery while improving cleanliness and appearance. Preparation is critical to ensure coatings perform properly.
In many cases, yes. Work can be planned around production schedules to reduce disruption and downtime. The approach depends on access, machine use, and safety considerations.
A wide range of industrial machinery can be painted, including CNC machines, milling equipment, drilling machines, transformers, and fixed plant. Each machine is assessed to determine suitable preparation and coating systems. This helps protect functionality as well as appearance.
Machinery surfaces often carry oils, grease, and residues that prevent paint from bonding. Proper cleaning and preparation remove these contaminants. This ensures coatings last and don’t fail prematurely.
Small touch-up work may be manageable internally. Full machinery painting usually requires specialist cleaning, preparation, and coatings. Professional work helps manage safety risks and achieve durable results.
Yes, clean and well-coated machinery is easier to inspect and maintain. Painting helps highlight leaks, wear, and damage that may otherwise be hidden. This supports planned maintenance and safety checks.
APT ICC delivers machinery painting services across England and Wales. We work in industrial and commercial environments and can also advise on suitable coatings and preparation methods where full painting services are not required.
