Breezes! Sunny spells! Light intermittent Farnborough drizzle and/or ‘fat rain’! Our premises are occasionally exposed to the most intense weather systems that Rushmoor District has to offer – it’s life on the edge!
Such ravages of nature plus outdated stylings have recently conspired to prompt the question – ‘How the hell are we going to protect and preen our precious home?’ Relocate to an underground bunker system? Operate from a space station? Diamond walls? Over the course of an animated and increasingly acrimonious in-house coffee break, all these wizard suggestions (and more) were sketched and rejected. Because apparently new cladding is a more ‘sensible’ approach.
Howay the cladd-ers! When AutoPot decides to get some cladding done, we don’t mess around. Within mere months of sign-off, we’d retained the services of Lane Roofing Contractors. We’re located on Hawley Lane, so the name synchronicity seemed good. Also, they have an impeccable reputation for quality workmanship at a price that’s right. Their cladders brought their ladders and underway they had us.
And now, an attractive, weather-resistant, anthracite grey shell defends our home. Get up close and you’ll notice so much more. It actually features a ‘leather grain finish’ – which means it LOOKS like leather, but it’s not. Because having it in leather isn’t very weatherproof, and might imply we’re in the business of line-dancing. Which we are not.
How about respraying the bay doors to match, adding ‘Solent Blue’ flashing, and repainting the car park and loading bay markings? You betcha! Lane Roofing Contractors were all over pimping our portals. Never before have our goods enjoyed such a spectacular send-off to the wider world! And don’t forget, happy systems = happy plants = happy you! Honest!
At last, our research and development can go unhindered for the greater good of gardening. Our sales, admin, packing, and creative ‘pollinators’ can thrive in their hardy hive. The warehouse is a ‘Switzerland’ of safety in which Jabba and Dave can forklift like clockwork into the next millennium. All (arguably, and slightly, and perhaps) thanks to cladding.
If you’d like to follow the progress of our cladding, check out @autopot_global and @AutoPotSystems. Not expecting a whole lot to happen to be fair. Still, if you are into that sort of thin,g then it’s probably better to monitor it online than from outside the building.
