Shepperton Studios; Large-Scale Cladding Spray Painting Project

Shepperton Studios, one of the UK’s most renowned film production hubs, required a high-quality spray finish on the end-cladded wall of a studio building to prepare it for new signage installation. The surface measured 45m wide and 20m high, covering a total area of approximately 780m².
The project demanded thorough cleaning and precision airless spray painting to ensure a smooth, durable, and even finish that would serve as the perfect backdrop for the signage. Given the height, scale, and exposure to the elements, our team employed specialist equipment and advanced coatings to guarantee long-lasting results.

Project Challenges & Solutions
Height & Access Challenges
- Working at 20m high required the use of scissor lifts and boom lifts to provide safe and stable access.
- Operatives were required to be IPAF-certified to handle powered access equipment efficiently.
- Solution: Careful planning, certified operatives, and safety measures ensured smooth execution without delays.
Surface Preparation & Cleaning
- The cladding required a deep clean to remove dirt, grime, and residues before painting.
- Any contaminants left on the surface would affect paint adhesion and longevity.
- Solution: A thorough power wash and degreasing were carried out to prepare the surface for priming and spraying.
Health & Safety Compliance
- Working at height posed risks requiring strict adherence to health & safety regulations.
- The team followed CHAS, SSIP, and IPAF guidelines, ensuring full compliance.
- Solution: Risk assessments, method statements (RAMS), and PPE requirements were fully enforced on-site.
Achieving a Durable & Even Finish
- The surface had to be flawless, smooth, and weather-resistant to maintain its appearance over time.
- Solution: We used airless spray painting technology, ensuring a seamless, high-quality, and long-lasting finish.
