UK commercial coatings specialists Watco and Tor Coatings have joined forces to offer a whole-of-building-life inspections and maintenance service combining product from both companies' ranges.
Site surveys will be offered before, during and after each project; with annual site surveys allowing for regular inspections of complete projects and adjacent surfaces.
A dedicated technical team will then provide a report of required maintenance work, and will work with professional contractors as required to ensure repairs and surface defects are fixed - allowing warranties to be extended for ongoing protection.
Chris Budd, Watco sales director, says: “We realised that by joining forces, we could offer customers the technical expertise and solutions they would need for an entire building and all of its surfaces, as well as enhanced warranties for larger projects.”
“Our customers can now speak to just one member of the joint team for advice.
[O]ur customers will sleep at night with the peace of mind that their facility and their finances are, and will remain, safe for years to come with no nasty surprises.
This will be of huge benefit to busy facilities and premises managers because by using one contact and one supplier for the needs of the entire building envelope, they can enjoy a more streamlined process, as well as extended warranties on the products specified for a job.”
The joint offering includes coating and solutions for floors, roofs, walls and balconies, and Ian Birch, commercial director at Tor Coatings, says: “We hope that by offering our wider range of solutions, and increased contact with regular site visits, we will be able to make recommendations which will ensure the longevity of coatings across all surfaces, prevent further damages, and save our customers money in the long-term.
