COLCHESTER ENGINEERING SYSTEMS
Generator Enclosure Repairs
We offer inspection of existing canopies that are in need of repair. After conducting an initial site visit we can advise what is best for your canopy which can include replacement of parts such as doors, exhausts and attenuators etc. We can fit parts on site, paint, re-seal, replace roofs and more depending on the condition of the canopy and requirements.
​
We have a tried and tested paint specification that involves a complete prep of the enclosure, taking back any surface rust back to bare metal and treating deep rust with a special conversion fluid. The whole unit is then painted with a coat of zinc based primer, followed by 2 coats of enamel top coat to any standard BS/RAL colour.
​
Heavily rusted areas we can cut out and fabricate new panels or treated + flashed over.
​
Internally we can treat + repaint flooring, exhausts, replace flexible plenum ducts + internal acoustic lining.
​
We offer a free inspection within a 50 mile radius of Colchester. Beyond that, we charge a small fee to cover travel expenses. This may vary depending on location.
