Soffits, Steels and Blockwork Prepped and Re-Coated -

Tired Farnborough Unit Fully Refreshed

This week, the All Aspect Coatings team completed another successful refurbishment project—this time transforming a very tired and weathered industrial unit in Farnborough. The property had suffered from years of exposure to the elements, leaving the soffits, steels, and blockwork in urgent need of attention. With careful preparation, professional coating systems, and a clear focus on long-lasting results, we were able to give this unit a completely refreshed appearance and significantly improved protection.

The building’s exterior had visibly aged, with faded coatings, worn steelwork, and discoloured blockwork that no longer reflected the client’s business standards. As with many older industrial units, time had taken its toll: UV damage had dulled surfaces, moisture had affected areas of the blockwork, and the soffits showed clear signs of deterioration. The client wanted the structure restored to a clean, professional, and modern condition—without unnecessary disruption to the surrounding units or the day-to-day operations in the area.

Our team began by thoroughly preparing every surface to ensure the new coatings would bond correctly and perform long term. This included power washing, degreasing, surface abrasion, rust treatment on steelwork, and repairing any minor defects that could compromise the finish. Proper preparation is fundamental to the quality of the end result, and for this Farnborough unit, it made all the difference.

Once fully prepped, we applied high-performance industrial coatings to the soffits, steels, and blockwork. Each material required a specific approach and coating system to achieve the best results. The soffits were restored with a smooth, durable finish that instantly lifted the appearance of the building. The structural steelwork was re-coated using protective paints designed to withstand harsh weather, resist corrosion, and preserve structural integrity. Finally, the blockwork received a fresh, even coating that dramatically improved the building’s overall visual impact.

The transformation was immediate. What had previously been a dull, tired-looking façade is now smart, clean, and consistent from top to bottom. The new coatings not only enhance the appearance but also provide long-lasting protection—helping extend the lifespan of the building and reduce future maintenance requirements. The client was extremely pleased with the outcome, especially given the speed and efficiency with which the work was completed.
