Repairs and Maintenance
Uni-prep Services we can carry out fully comprehensive assessments of your assets, identifying specific hazards and associated risks of your business activities.
We will undertake site inspections at your chosen location; we will work with you beforehand to create a bespoke template suitable to your activities and carry out the inspection, providing a full report on the findings with recommendations.
Once identified, we will recommend control measures and any additional actions required to either eliminate or reduce the risk to a level which is reasonably practicable.
Assessments can be carried out for your complete business operations or for specific plant, machinery or structure.
Whether you need a full system created, implemented and maintained by us, or just help with a single project, either way we can create and implement bespoke procedures for the maintenance of your assets. Once created we will assist you in implementing them and also review them periodically to ensure they are suitable and sufficient and effective for your business.
Categories include:
- Concrete Repairs
- Culvert Repairs
- Cathodic Protection
- Resin Injection
- Machine Grouting
- Onsite Re-Galvanizing
- Routine Shut Down

Our products can service an incredible range of applications With our professionally trained surface preparation and application teams, our applied coatings offer an enduring solution that will outlast any similar system.
Surface preparation is the essential first stage treatment of a substrate before the application of any coating. The performance of a coating is significantly influenced by its ability to adhere properly to the substrate material. It is generally well established that correct surface preparation is the most important factor affecting the total success of surface treatment. The presence of even small amounts of surface contaminants, oil, grease, oxides, etc. can physically impair and reduce coating adhesion to the substrate. Chemical contaminants that are not readily visible, such as chlorides and sulphates, attract moisture through coating systems resulting in premature failure. In summary, the importance of a chemically clean substrate to provide the best possible contact surface for the applied coating cannot be over-emphasised. The scope of this guide covers the surface preparation of metallic surfaces for the subsequent application of paint and metal coatings for corrosion protection or the enhancement or surface appearance for both new structures and maintenance treatments. The adhesion of coating materials such as zinc by hot dip galvanising is particularly good due to the metallurgical alloying with the steel surface. In this process, the molten zinc reacts with the steel to form a series of iron/zinc alloy layers of varying composition to form an intimate bond with the substrate. Alternatively, metal coatings applied by thermal spraying require a coarse surface profile to maximise the coating bond which is principally by mechanical keying. Organic paint coatings adhere to the surface mainly by polar adhesion which is aided by mechanical adhesion which is especially important for thick coatings films. For all type of coatings, the surface condition of the substrate is critical in terms of coating performance and durability.
