Coating Inspection

Professional Paint Inspection – Ensuring Longevity, Compliance & Corrosion Protection

Paint Inspection is a critical quality control process involving the assessment and verification of protective coating systems applied to a wide range of surfaces. These coatings play a vital role in safeguarding infrastructure and assets from environmental damage, particularly corrosion.

In the United Kingdom alone, it is estimated that over £60 billion is spent annually on repairing and replacing materials and infrastructure as a direct result of corrosion-related degradation. This staggering figure highlights the importance of correct coating application and thorough inspection.

The application of protective coatings is a highly specialised process, with multiple variables to consider — including surface preparation, environmental conditions, material compatibility, and application techniques. Even minor deviations from specified procedures can lead to significant failures, compromising both the performance and service life of the coating system.

Common causes of failure include:

  • Inadequate or unsuitable coating system selection
  • Poor surface preparation or contamination
  • Incorrect application methods or environmental conditions during application
  • General poor workmanship or lack of quality assurance
