March Bulletin

09 February 2018 - Recoat news - Metrix Contractors, a family firm based in Polegate has been appointed to carry out a complete recoating of the feature using a modern, hard wearing, resin coating that is ideally suited to this type of concrete construction. The coating is produced by WestWood Liquid Technologies Ltd. The work is expected to commence in late February and during recoating some paths and access points around the feature may need to be closed off at various times.

The CPMCL members were balloted on a choice of three colour schemes, and colour sample panels were placed in the water feature to help members make their final choice. A new, blue two-tone colour scheme has been decided on that will give the feature more depth and definition. Special finishes may be added to give some tonal variation.

The recoat and associated work represent the final stages of a complete refurbishment of the water feature that should set it up well for many years to come.
