Plastic surgeon cosmetic repairs for construction

Sustainable fine finishing and cosmetic repair

for the construction industry

Damage is an inevitable part of the construction build cycle. As deadlines approach, multiple trades are on site and interior and exterior surfaces can suffer accidental damage.  Leading construction companies such as BAM and Carillion call on Plastic Surgeon to provide repairs, snagging and fine finishing to almost any surface, including doors, wall cladding and laminates.

Plastic Surgeon’s Finishers can repair most interior and exterior surfaces, which help to keep building projects on time and on budget, while regular tradesmen are freed to continue with their core work.

Plastic Surgeon’s specialist cosmetic repairs:

save time rapid response and immediate on site repairs

save money no need to replace, simply repair

save hassle replacement often requires considerable organisation and disruption

save face helping you deliver on time and within budget

Project Management

With our nationwide presence and the largest fully employed finishing team in the UK we have the logistics and expertise to help, whatever the size of the project.

On major construction projects where we are called in to finish a wide number and variety of damaged surfaces, we provide a dedicated project manager on site to oversee the work.

Construction project work

Link 62 Data Centre - Laing O’Rourke

A £250,000 project to re-finish wall cladding in a warehouse the size of 12 football pitches, requiring multiple finishers on shift work patterns for 7 days a week.  

HM Belmarsh Prison – Interserve

Restored Perspex window panes across the whole site.  University of Leicester – Crittall Windows

Carried out specialist recoating of over180 steel windows to precise factoryfinish standards.  

New Asda store

Recoated 70 steel external wall cladding panels measuring 1200mm high by 6500mm wide. The panels suffered dents and scratches to the powder coat finish. Repaired to exacting standards and exactly matched ASDA’s corporate colours.

Aldi

Repaired freezer casings and chillers being moved between outlets. The freezers had six feet long dents which we filled, smoothed and re-sprayed to match. Scratched shelving on 90 chiller units was re-sprayed to achieve a pristine appearance.

It is significantly cheaper to use our repairs rather than replace.

“On every project we undertake we strive to achieve as near optimum delivery as possible for the client – which means meeting or exceeding their expectation on a variety of criteria. These include delivery on time, on budget - and with zero defects being the ultimate aim. “This particular job at Parkside Community College achieved that and Plastic Surgeon was amongst the sub-contractors who helped us realize our goals. Although I had been aware of Plastic Surgeon being used by our company, this was my first experience of the specialist service. It seems a very efficient approach to accessing a one-stop shop for snagging or remedial work.”

Michael Elmer Contracts Manager, Parkside scheme, Morgan Sindall

Stone cladding repairs at a new Sainsbury’s for Barr Construction

“This was a sensitive task given that the work had to be carried out in an area normally used by the public. Plastic Surgeon cooperated fully in providing a safe working plan and beginning early in the morning, while the finisher involved did a very good job in repairing and colour matching the damaged areas. Replacing these panels would have been far more disruptive and costlier.”

Gordon Forrester . Site Agent, Barr Construction

Specialist tile repair for Quarmby Construction

“This project involved the refurbishment of a Grade II Listed building and so we had to restore the unique original features.  Plastic Surgeon was able to provide repairs that were detailed and virtually invisible, we simply could not tell where the damage had been. They did a fantastic job, a very professional service and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as a result.”

Kevin Starkey , Site Manager , Quarmby Construction
