Heron Painters and Decorators Ltd

Here’s a glimpse of our latest project: redecorating what feels like an endless gas pipe that winds across the South Terminal roof. It's a unique challenge, especially with some areas being tricky to reach, but our in-house expertise in access solutions ensures we’ll get the job done. Stay tuned for more updates as we make progress! #heronpaintersanddecorators #westsussex #ProjectUpdate #GasPipeline #ConstructionLife #AccessSolutions #Teamwork #Innovation #EngineeringExcellence #TerminalUpgrade #Infrastructure #SafetyFirst #OnSite #Progress #RoofWork #BuildingBetter #IndustrialMaintenance

A cornerstone of our business is the expert installation of passive fire protection (PFP) measures. As a NAPFIS-certified and approved installer, we specialise in the installation of fire protection materials and systems and our directly employed team of skilled, accredited professionals ensures that every project meets the highest standards, with full certification and supporting documentation provided upon completion. Here are some examples of recent work completed. #PassiveFireProtection #FireSafety #FireProtection #SafetyFirst #CertifiedInstallers #ConstructionSafety #BuildingSafety #NAPFISCertified #FireCompliance #FireCertificates #NAPFIS

This fire escape was in need of attention, with the old paint peeling, flaking, and rusting away. We took comprehensive steps to refurbish it, ensuring thorough preparation and treatment of the entire structure. Special care was given to the treads, which now feature an anti-slip coating and safety nosings. #FireSafety #BuildingMaintenance #Renovation #StructuralIntegrity #AntiSlip #SafetyUpgrades #PropertyManagement #FacilityMaintenance #Construction #HeronConstruction #HeronPaintersandDecorators #GatwickAirport

This pumping station had not been painted in years, and the condition of the cladding was very poor. Due to the age of the original paint, as part of our stringent risk assessment, we requested a paint sample be taken to check for the presence of asbestos before we could begin. Fortunately, a satisfactory report was returned, and we were able to proceed with the necessary redecorating. We faced several challenges, including painting hot metal cladding during the UK's brief summer period, and, as some of the elevations at the station are situated over water it was necessary to have scaffolding erected around the exterior to provide safe means of access throughout the duration of the works. Despite these minor obstacles, another successful project for Heron was completed. #heronpaintersanddecorators #heroncontractors #gatwickairport #ProjectCompletion #Infrastructure #PumpingStation #RiskAssessment #SafetyFirst #AsbestosTesting #Scaffolding #Redevelopment #IndustrialPainting #HeronProjects #UKConstruction #SummerChallenges #TeamSuccess #SafeAccess #Maintenance #EngineeringSolutions #Renovation #ConstructionSafety #ProjectManagement #SuccessStory

Aircraft Hangar Refurb - Phase 2. This project at Gatwick Airport culminated with the meticulous refurbishment of the aircraft hangar floor area. The original surface was carefully abraded in preparation for the application of a new epoxy paint system, and the demarcation lines were precisely reinstated. This achievement was made possible through exceptional teamwork and collaboration. Despite encountering a few challenges along the way, we successfully completed another outstanding project. #gatwickairport #paintinganddecorating #aircrafthangar #refurb #epoxyfloor #epoxypaintsystem #teamwork #collaboration #success

A local business near our head office required their office exterior to be refurbished—a quick job that needed to be completed over the weekend. By efficiently utilising our access equipment, we ensured that all staff were back in their offices on Monday morning without any disruption to their work 😉 #officerefurb #falconenergy #horshambusiness #localbusiness #keepingitlocal #paintinganddecorating #exteriorrefurb #accessequipment #mewp #efficientworking

The Contractors Support Centre at Gatwick Airport serves as the primary hub for all contractors working at the airport, acting as the critical liaison between contractors and airport operations. Located in a prominent landside position on the north perimeter road, the Centre had started to show signs of wear and tear. However, Heron have recently revitalised the exterior with a fresh coat of paint, significantly improving its appearance. We hope everyone agrees that it now looks rejuvenated and inviting! #londongatwickairport #contractorsupportcentre #nervecentre #refresh #newcoatofpaint #smartnewbuilding #heroncontractors #northperimeterroad #airportoperations

We are delighted to announce that we have recently been awarded our 20th Airside Operator’s Licence, officially qualifying us to continue working airside at London Gatwick Airport. Our relationship with Gatwick spans over 35 years, beginning with early projects working as an individual decorating subcontractor for RB Porch & Sons, painting, among other things, the South Terminal car park foyer, railings, and lamp posts back in the 1980s.  Since then, the business has been incorporated and expanded to provide access equipment hire, line marking and passive fire protection solutions. While our work and company status has evolved over the years, now encompassing larger projects such as refurbishing aircraft hangars, and painting the control tower and its associated outbuildings, our dedication to quality and excellence remains unchanged. The company remains under family ownership, and we continue to value our longstanding partnership with Gatwick and look forward to many more years of successful collaborations. #londongatwick #gatwickairportlimited #achievement #familycompany #aviationcollaboration #heronpaintersanddecorators #heroncontractors #longtimepartners #success #lifeswork #hurrah 😊

Progress on site within one of the aircraft hangars at Gatwick is good. Works to the steel framework within the roof is almost complete and the team are now moving their attention to the side elevations. Working at height within the intricate steel framework has proved challenging at times but we are extremely pleased with the overall finish 🙂 #workingatheight #steelstructures #steelpaint #aircrafthangar #gatwickairport #progress #heronpaintersanddecorators #heroncontractors

Working at height inside one of the aircraft hangars at Gatwick, the dedicated Heron team is refurbishing the steel framework with precision and efficiency. It takes a steady hand to ensure a professional finish, and our preferred choice of application is to use our Graco spray equipment, guaranteeing that every drop of paint lands exactly where it should. With a team of six operatives in the air and two on the ground, we are steadily progressing and are on track to complete the project within the designated timeframe. Supported by Heron's own fleet of Mobile Elevated Work Platforms, our skilled workforce demonstrates their expertise, solidifying Heron's reputation as a comprehensive commercial painting and decorating solution. #commercialpaintinganddecorating #workingatheight #aircrafthangar #paintrefurbish #mewp #mobileelevatedworkplatform #grayco #paintsprayer #steelpainting #skills #accessequipment
