Extensive Site Evaluation

Comprehensive Site Assessment.

Before starting any installation, one of our skilled experts will perform a detailed site survey. Following this, we will provide a complete written quotation to ensure all project details are addressed. For any questions or to request a quotation, please feel free to reach out to us at 0800 669 6306.

Please keep reading to learn what to expect when we visit your site to conduct the survey;

1. Assessing Existing Conditions:

  • Surface Quality:

    Evaluate the existing wall's condition, looking for any damage, inconsistencies, or irregularities. Note any imperfections or repairs that need to be addressed before cladding installation.

  • Moisture Levels:

    Use a moisture meter to assess the moisture content of the existing wall, ensuring it's within acceptable limits for bonding the cladding. New builds may require at least 6 weeks of drying time before application. 

  • Contaminants:

    Check for any contaminants like grease, mold, mildew, or other substances that could interfere with cladding adhesion. These should be cleaned or removed before installation.

  • Wall Structure:

    Determine the type of wall (plasterboard, concrete, etc.) and its structural integrity. This will help choose the appropriate cladding system and fixing method.

2. Determining Project Requirements:

  • Wall Height and Layout:

    Measure the wall's height and layout to plan the placement of cladding panels or sheets, ensuring proper fit and alignment. 

  • Desired Aesthetics:

    Discuss the client's preferences for cladding colour, pattern, and style, including any required matching of colours to existing elements. 

  • Cleaning and Sanitisation Needs:

    Identify the specific cleaning and sanitisation requirements of the environment. Some cladding systems are designed for easy cleaning and resistance to harsh chemicals. 

  • Special Needs:

    Note any special needs, such as impact resistance, thermal insulation, or fire resistance, that should be considered when selecting a cladding system. 

3. Assessing Adhesion and Fixing Methods:

  • Surface Preparation:

    Determine the best surface preparation methods for the specific wall type, including sealing porous surfaces with PVA.

  • Adhesive or Fixing Method:

  • Evaluate the suitability of adhesive systems, mechanical fixings, or a combination for the specific cladding and wall type. 

  • Material Acclimatisation:

  • Ensure all materials are acclimatised to the final operational temperature of the building.

4. Documentation and Reporting:

  • Detailed Report:

    Create a detailed report outlining the findings of the site survey, including measurements, condition assessments, project requirements, and recommendations.

  • Visual Documentation:

    Include photographs or videos of the site to document the current condition and any areas of concern. 

By conducting a thorough site survey, you can ensure that the hygienic wall cladding is properly installed and meets the specific requirements of the project.
