Wall cladding preparation, coating, and maintenance

Cladding fails at fixings, joints, cap edges, and moisture traps long before the field area looks tired. Maverick treats wall cladding as an envelope detail: clean substrates, compatible primers, movement-aware joints, and finish systems that suit whether the cladding is decorative, protective, internal, or exposed to Gauteng weather.

We identify substrate type, coatings already present, open joints, rusting fixings, failed sealants, and water paths before recommending a coating or sealant system.

Successful cladding work depends on details: caps, reveals, control joints, and penetrations. These areas are cleaned, primed, and sealed before field coatings create false confidence.

Internal feature cladding needs a different system from sun-exposed facade cladding. We separate aesthetic work from weather-facing envelope work so the finish and maintenance plan match the exposure.

Our coatings approach

Approved systems. Measured films. Auditable handover.

PHASE_01

Cladding condition and compatibility survey

We identify substrate type, coatings already present, open joints, rusting fixings, failed sealants, and water paths before recommending a.

PHASE_02

Preparation around edges and joints

Successful cladding work depends on details: caps, reveals, control joints, and penetrations.

PHASE_03

Feature walls and facade cladding

Internal feature cladding needs a different system from sun-exposed facade cladding.

PHASE_04

Handover and maintenance rhythm

Cladding stays attractive when cleaning methods and inspection intervals are clear.

Phase 01 / Assessment

Estate entrance feature wall

Decorative cladding was cleaned, sealed, and colour balanced with sample approval before trustee handover.

Specialized coating service pages

Industrial floors, hygienic walls, and architectural texture systems carry different compliance expectations. Each spoke below targets the procurement language and QA artefacts buyers expect before mobilisation.

  • Epoxy floors & polyurethane flooring

    Chemical resistance, traffic ratings, fast-cure options, and QA documentation for warehouses, plants, and retail back-of-house.

  • Cemcrete floors

    Decorative cement floor finishes with slab checks, colour samples, sealer selection, and clean maintenance handover.

  • Cemcrete external walls

    Exterior cementitious wall finishes with damp checks, crack preparation, sample-led texture control, and weatherproof sealing.

Phase 02 / Execution

Commercial facade cladding

Failed joints and fixings were repaired before a UV-stable coating refreshed the visible street elevation.

Internal feature cladding needs a different system from sun-exposed facade cladding. We separate aesthetic work from weather-facing envelope work so the finish and maintenance plan match the exposure.

Cladding stays attractive when cleaning methods and inspection intervals are clear. Handover notes flag soft joints, cleaning products to avoid, and areas to inspect after storm seasons.

Interior reception wall

Low-odour coatings and protection kept tenant operations open during the feature-wall refresh.

Frequently asked questions

Technical answers for procurement teams, trustees, and facility managers in Gauteng.

Do you install new wall cladding?

We assess each project scope. Maverick commonly prepares, seals, coats, and maintains cladding, and can coordinate installation partners where needed.

Can cladding be painted?

Often yes, but primer and coating compatibility depend on the material and previous finish.

Can you fix leaking cladding joints?

We can reseal and coordinate remedial details, but active structural or waterproofing failures must be diagnosed before decorative coatings proceed.

Is wall cladding suitable outside?

Yes when the system is designed for exterior UV, rain, movement, and drainage. Interior-only finishes should not be pushed outside.

Do you provide samples?

Yes. Mock-ups are recommended where texture, sheen, or colour variation affects approval.

Our Unbeatable Guarantee

De-Risking Your Multi-Million Rand Asset.

Unlike standard contractors who rely on biased, in-house quality checks, we use a trusted, independent third-party QA company on all projects. This is our commitment to verifiably superior quality.

  1. 01

    Substrate Specification & Assessment

    A dedicated project manager and the independent body conduct an on-site assessment to determine the correct coating system and technical specification required for your specific asset.

  2. 02

    Continuous Application Inspection

    The independent company performs continuous application inspections at every critical stage (surface prep, primer, film thickness) to ensure manufacturer requirements are met before the final coat.

  3. 03

    Verifiable Bi-Weekly Reporting

    You receive bi-weekly progress and substrate reports providing a complete, recorded history of the project. This delivers objective proof of quality and total peace of mind for trustees and facility managers.
