Short answer: choose a contractor who visits the site before pricing, proposes reasoned systems per zone based on data sheets, presents phasing compatible with your operations, follows your safety rules and provides an itemised quote.
Essential criteria
- Technical visit: pricing without a visit is rarely reliable.
- Reasoned systems: primer, coats, topcoat for each substrate.
- Detailed surface preparation: it determines performance.
- Phasing: organised around production.
- Safety: barriers, work at height, site rules respected.
- Transparency: no performance or guarantees claimed without a technical basis.
- Track record: photos and project examples.
Warning signs
- Price per m² given without a visit.
- No surface preparation in the quote.
- Lifespan promises without a study.
