Rail

Rail

Specialist Painting Group delivers specialist coating services to the rail sector, including infrastructure, stations, bridges, and rolling stock facilities. We understand the stringent safety and performance requirements of the rail industry and provide anti-corrosion, fire protection and high-durability coatings that withstand high traffic, and exposure. Our rail coatings help extend asset life, reduce downtime, and support compliance with Network Rail and sector-specific standards.

Waterways

Waterways

Our team supports the maintenance and protection of critical waterway structures such as locks, floodgates, bridges, and pumping stations. Using marine-grade coatings and advanced surface preparation techniques, we prevent corrosion and degradation caused by constant water exposure, salt ingress, and weathering. Our services play a vital role in protecting the UK's waterway infrastructure and preserving its long-term functionality.

Highways

Highways

We offer surface preparation and protective coating solutions for highway infrastructure, including bridges, gantries, tunnels, and retaining walls. Working in live environments, we use fast-curing and long-lasting materials to minimise disruption and ensure structural integrity. Our work helps highways authorities and contractors meet rigorous specifications for corrosion control, fire resistance, and asset longevity under constant vehicle exposure and environmental stress.
