Providing professional quality control, paint adhesion testing, and protective polymer coating inspections for historical brick, steel, and timber structures. We specialize in micro-chemical analysis of vintage pigment residues, analyzing moisture accumulation inside plaster walls, and certifying protective sealants against UV degradation and seaside salt corrosion.
Request an inspectionOne inspection appointment covers adhesion testing, moisture mapping, and sealant validation for your project site.
Schedule an inspectionEvery inspection and analysis is built around measurable results for your structure.
Micro-chemical analysis identifies original binder and pigment composition. You get a documented match for heritage approvals, not a visual guess.
Non-invasive sensors map dampness inside plaster before it causes paint failure or rot. Our report gives you a clear remediation plan.
Accelerated UV and salt‑spray testing validates real‑world performance. You receive a certificate that proves protection against seaside corrosion.
Pull‑off and cross‑cut tests measure coating bond strength on masonry and metal substrates. Results help you decide whether to recoat or strip.
We monitor gloss loss, chalking, and color shift over time. Data supports warranty claims and helps you schedule maintenance before failure.
Thickness, pinhole, and cure checks for protective polymer layers on timber and steel. You get a pass/fail report with photographic evidence.
Surface conservation demands more than a fresh coat. We bring lab-grade analysis, field-tested protocols, and a track record that keeps heritage structures intact for decades.
Instead of matching paint by eye, we identify original pigment residues and binder types. This eliminates colour drift and preserves the authentic layer sequence of historic facades.
We use non-invasive sensors to detect hidden dampness inside plaster and masonry. Our reports pinpoint problem zones before coatings fail, saving costly rework.
Every sealant we recommend passes accelerated UV and salt-spray tests. Our certification gives owners and insurers documented proof of long-term protection.
We extract tiny samples from historic paint layers and analyze them in our lab to identify original pigments, binders, and degradation products. This allows us to match the exact color and finish used in the original construction, ensuring an authentic restoration.
We use non-invasive impedance sensors and thermal imaging to map moisture distribution behind plaster. The data helps us identify sources of dampness and recommend vapor-permeable coatings that prevent future paint failure and structural decay.
We test sealants in accelerated weathering chambers that simulate UV radiation and salt spray exposure. Our certification includes adhesion, flexibility, and color retention tests, plus field validation on coastal structures. You receive a detailed report with performance ratings.
We work with historic brick, steel, and timber structures—including heritage buildings, bridges, lighthouses, and seaside pavilions. Our inspections cover paint adhesion, coating thickness, and substrate condition before any conservation work begins.
On-site inspection usually takes one to two days depending on the structure size. Lab analysis of pigment samples adds another three to five business days. We provide a written report with findings and recommendations within one week of completing fieldwork.
