What we do
OUR SERVICES
Correctly specified coating systems across a broad range of commercial and industrial environments — from pool hall steelwork to squash courts, spray coatings to maintenance programmes.
01
Architectural Roof Support Steelwork
Our core specialism. Exposed structural steelwork and roof support systems within pool hall environments present a corrosion category C3–C4 challenge. We deliver the full sequence: mechanical preparation, surface-tolerant epoxy primer, high-build intermediate coat and durable topcoat to the required dry film thickness.
02
Commercial Interior Painting
Sports halls, fitness suites, dance studios, squash courts, changing areas and circulation spaces painted in quality emulsion and specialist interior finishes. Large-area application programmed around facility operations to minimise downtime.
03
Squash Court Refurbishment
Squash court walls demand a specialist finish — consistent colour, correct sheen level and a surface that will stand up to repeated ball impact without degrading quickly. We carry out full surface preparation including cleaning, filling and priming before applying the appropriate court finish to manufacturer specification.
04
External Roofwork & Soffits
External roof sheets, soffits, fascias and associated steelwork coated using durable, weather-resistant systems. Safe working at height via MEWP and scaffold access. All surface preparation carried out prior to coating application.
05
Industrial & Commercial Painting
Warehouses, industrial units and large commercial buildings — interior and exterior. We apply the correct coating system for each substrate and environment, whether decorative or high-performance protective.
06
Protective Coating Systems
Two-pack solvent-free epoxy, polyurethane topcoats and zinc-rich primers for structural steelwork, plant rooms and environments with elevated moisture or chemical exposure. Systems selected in accordance with BS EN ISO 12944.
07
Pool Tank Support Steelwork
The structural steelwork directly beneath a swimming pool tank sits in a persistently damp, high-humidity C4–C5 environment. We carry out full mechanical preparation, apply damp-tolerant epoxy primers, and finish with a high-build two-pack system for long-term asset protection.
08
Spray Coating Application
Airless spray application for large structural elements, high-build epoxy systems, and any substrate where consistent film thickness is critical. We treat complex geometry efficiently to the dry film thickness that protective specifications demand, with appropriate masking and containment.
Our flagship specialism
ARCHITECTURAL ROOF SUPPORT STEELWORK
The exposed structural steelwork inside a pool hall is amongst the most technically demanding coating environments in the commercial sector. Elevated humidity, chlorine-laden air and high-level access requirements rule out any generic approach.
Correct surface preparation is the foundation. We follow with a primer selected for C3–C4 environments, a high-build intermediate coat, and a two-pack finish coat with the durability to justify the access cost.
Full project capability
MORE THAN JUST PAINTING
🏗◆ Principal Contractor & CDM
We Can Be Your Principal Contractor
Rodec Ltd has hands-on experience managing multi-trade sites as Principal Contractor. We are proficient in CDM as a contractor or Principal Contractor — covering pre-construction planning, site safety management, and maintaining the Health and Safety File throughout the project.
💥◆ Airless Spray Application
Spray Coating Application
In addition to brush and roller, Rodec applies coatings by airless spray — the method of choice for large steel structures and high-build epoxy systems where consistent film thickness is critical. We set up appropriate masking and enclosure to protect adjacent surfaces and meet environmental obligations.
Planned maintenance
COATING MAINTENANCE PROGRAMMES
The initial application is just the beginning. Industrial and protective coating systems perform best when they are monitored and maintained before minor defects become major ones.
Rodec can provide structured maintenance programmes for the coating systems we apply — catching problems early at a fraction of the cost of a full re-coat.
Annual Condition Surveys
Scheduled site visits to inspect coating systems — checking for breakdown, delamination, corrosion undercutting or mechanical damage. A written condition report is provided after each visit.
Planned Touch-In Works
Targeted remedial coating to areas showing early signs of deterioration, before defects spread. Addressing small areas promptly is always more economical than allowing breakdown to progress to the substrate.
Reactive Call-Out
Priority response for reactive coating repairs — mechanical damage, impact marks, isolated coating failures. Keeping the asset protected between scheduled visits.
Full Re-Coat Scheduling
We track the service life of applied systems and advise when a full re-coat cycle is approaching — allowing it to be budgeted and planned rather than becoming an emergency.
