ProGuard Exteriors were appointed to complete an exterior refurbishment project on several apartment blocks within the Watermead Estate in Aylesbury, where the existing masonry finishes had become weathered, discoloured and tired looking after years of exposure to the elements.

Overview

The apartment blocks within the Watermead Estate had started to show signs of age and weathering, with the existing finish looking dull and tired in several areas. The aim of the project was to modernise and brighten the appearance of the buildings while also adding a durable protective coating designed to withstand long-term exposure to British weather.

Following a detailed assessment, ProGuard Exteriors specified a full exterior masonry preparation and repainting programme using the premium Andura Proflex exterior masonry paint system. This approach was selected to refresh the development visually while helping protect the external masonry against moisture penetration, weather exposure and future deterioration.

Our Response

Before coating works began, all exterior masonry surfaces were thoroughly prepared to ensure the new finish achieved the best possible appearance and longevity. The team cleaned down the masonry, treated problem areas and completed localised repairs where required.

Care was also taken to protect surrounding features throughout the project, including windows, balconies, pathways and landscaped areas. Once the preparation works were complete, Andura Proflex masonry paint was applied across the development to create a uniform, smooth and long-lasting exterior finish.

Final Specification

Exterior Masonry Preparation: Cleaned and prepared external masonry surfaces to create a suitable base for the new coating system.

Problem Area Treatment: Treated weathered and affected areas before the new finish was applied.

Localised Repairs: Completed localised render and surface repairs where required across the apartment blocks.

Benefits Achieved
