Coating Condition Survey
Before starting any maintenance or refurbishment project in Rhondda Valley, a thorough coating condition survey is essential. This key step in paint inspection surveys identifies the current state of your structures’ coatings, highlighting potential issues like hazards or environmental concerns. At Core Paint Inspections, our surveys provide the vital data you need to create effective painting plans, minimise risks, and avoid future disputes.

Coating Failure Analysis
Coating failure analysis is a critical part of our paint inspections in Rhondda Valley. We examine why a protective coating hasn’t held up, looking at factors like application techniques, environmental conditions, and material properties. By pinpointing the root causes, we offer clear recommendations to fix the problem, prevent it from happening again, and guide repairs—keeping your operations safe and efficient.
