Somerset's agricultural and food processing industries — including the county's famous dairy and cider sectors — operate large fleets of machinery and steel-framed buildings that require regular shot blasting and protective coating to withstand the county's wet, mild climate. The region's growing construction activity around Taunton and Bridgwater also drives demand for structural steelwork preparation.

Q: What commercial surface-preparation discussions can start in Ilminster?
A commercial discussion can cover structural steel, factory cladding, containers, floors, plant, pipework and access steel. The suitable route depends on the asset, its current condition, access, containment, surrounding operations and the intended next stage.

Programme and cost depend on the asset, condition, dimensions, access, containment, preparation requirement, coating handover and project interfaces. These inputs are reviewed before a project-specific scope is agreed.
