Masonry coating systems for stone and concrete walls. Alkali-resistant primers with mineral or elastomeric topcoats — facades, basements, car parks, feature walls, and boundary walls.
BookAbout
Masonry coating systems for stone and concrete walls. Alkali-resistant primers with mineral or elastomeric topcoats — facades, basements, car parks, feature walls, and boundary walls.
- Substrates: cast concrete, blockwork, stone veneer, and precast
- Diagnostics: moisture and pH testing, efflorescence mapping
- Prep: pressure washing, degreasing, mould treatment, abrasion
- Repairs: crack chasing, polymer mortar patching, skim coats
- Primers: alkali-resistant, bonding, and silane or siloxane sealers
- Coatings: mineral silicate, acrylic masonry, and elastomeric anti-carbonation
Why this service
Anti-carbonation protection
High-build coatings that reduce CO2 diffusion on exposed concrete.
Breathable systems
Mineral silicate and vapour-permeable acrylics so moisture can escape.
Architectural finish
Even sheen and colour across large elevations with spray and back-roll.
Safe and efficient
Method statements, access planning, and after-hours workstreams.
How it works
Survey, testing, and specification
Moisture and pH tests; identify efflorescence and prior coatings; specify the system.
- Substrate mapping
- Sample area for colour and texture
- Access and staging plan
Cleaning and surface preparation
Pressure wash, degrease, treat mould, abrade glossy areas, neutralise salts.
- Efflorescence removal to neutral pH
- Dust control and protection of adjacent finishes
- Walkable stages maintained
Crack and defect repair
Static cracks filled with polymer-modified mortars; irregularities skimmed.
- Patch levelling for uniform texture
- Joint masking
- Drying time respected for bond
Priming and sealing
Alkali-resistant primer or silane/siloxane sealer for adhesion and stain control.
- Bonding primers for dense stone
- Test patches for coverage rates
- Intermediate build where porosity varies
Coating application
Spray with controlled passes and back-roll into pores.
- Wet- and dry-film thickness checks
- Colour consistency across elevations
- UV-stable, dirt-resistant finishes
Curing, QA, and handover
Correct cure times; adhesion and appearance checks; maintenance guidance.
- Snag list with walkthrough
- Touch-up kit and colour references
- Optional wash and refresh plans
Customers
