Firm numbers, fast

Pick the lane, answer the questions that matter for that job, see the range. Then book the free quote visit... measured, itemised, no surprises.
Ballpark, not a bill. The tool gives you a realistic range so you know roughly where you stand. The real number comes from a free quote visit, because the condition of the surface decides the prep, and the prep decides the price.

What GSL can carry

The difference between a painting contractor and a coatings contractor is programme, documentation and scale.
01

Programme

Crew scaled to the contract. Staged so the site keeps operating, including shutdown windows and night work where it's needed.

02

Documentation

Data sheets, application records, inductions, SiteSafe. What a main contractor or an auditor asks for.

03

Specification

Systems specified to substrate, exposure and traffic, with manufacturer backing. Not one product applied to everything.

Industrial floor coatings

A floor is a working surface under load, chemicals and wash-down. The system that goes down should reflect that.
The systems
  • Epoxy floor coatings, roll and broadcast
  • Polyurethane topcoats, UV and chemical resistance
  • Non-slip finishes graded to the area
  • Food and beverage grade systems
  • Line marking, hazard zones, traffic separation
  • Joint repair, crack filling, surface preparation
  • Diamond grinding and shot blasting
  • Moisture testing before anything goes down
To confirm: the accurate list and which manufacturers GSL is certified to apply. This is the page that wins industrial work.
Floor coatingOne mid-application frame with the wet edge visible. One finished floor with line marking, low and wide.
A

Prep is the job

Most coating failures are preparation failures. Grinding, moisture testing and joint repair come before a drum is opened.

B

Staged around you

Bays, shutdowns, night shifts. The site keeps running while the floor goes down.

C

Recorded

Batch records, data sheets, inductions and sign-off, kept for the project file.

Talk about a floor

Industrial jobs usually start with a site walk.

Commercial painting

Buildings that have to keep trading while they get painted.
  • Cladding, roofs and structural steel
  • Retail and office interiors, staged out of hours
  • Body corporate and apartment exteriors
  • Rental and property portfolios on a maintenance cycle
  • Access sorted: scaffold, boom, rope where needed

Wash & gutters

Once a year keeps the repaint away. Regular washing protects the paint and the weatherboards... the cheapest maintenance your house will ever get.

House soft wash

Mould, moss and grime gone gently. No blasting the paint off in the process.

Gutter clean

Cleared and flushed before they overflow, with photos of what came out.

Decks, fences, paths

Driveways and hard surfaces brought back.

Exclusive Hawke's Bay agency

Level 5 finish

The flattest, most exacting paint finish there is. In Hawke's Bay, only through GSL.
What it means

A skim coat across the entire surface, sanded and finished so no join, fastener or texture variation shows under any light. Under raking light from a window or a downlight, lower levels of finish reveal every flat join. Level 5 doesn't.

Where it matters
Large flat walls, raking light, gloss and near-gloss, dark colours
Typical projects
Architectural homes, galleries, showrooms, high end renovation
