Sealed tight · Weather out · Work carries on
Heat-shrunk containment for scaffolding, marine, industrial, transport and aviation. Fitted tight to the structure, so it doesn't flap, tear or hand your programme back to the forecast.
Winterisation, refits, lay-up and transport prep.
Lay-up, refit and shipping covers, Solent to the Gulf.
Full encapsulation and temporary roof systems.
Plant, machinery and high-value assets.
Abnormal loads, vehicles and freight in transit.
Airframe storage, MRO containment and parts.
What we wrap
Sheeting flaps, rips and lets weather in at the laps. Heat-shrunk film is welded into one continuous skin and pulled tight to the frame — so it stays put, stays quiet, and keeps the site dry and contained for months rather than weeks.
Custom-fitted covers for boats, yachts, RIBs and marine plant — built over a frame so water sheds properly and the hull breathes. Winter lay-up, refits, yard moves and long-haul transport.
Full encapsulation and temporary roof systems for construction, refurbishment and restoration. Dust and debris contained, programme protected.
Plant, machinery and high-value assets protected through storage, shutdowns and site works.
Abnormal loads, vehicles and freight sealed against road grime, salt and weather.
Airframe and component storage, MRO containment and secure ferry preparation — applied to aviation tolerances.
Marine & boats
We're a short run from Cowes, so marine work isn't a sideline — it's the water we grew up on. Boatyards, marinas and private owners from the Isle of Wight to Poole, Portsmouth, Plymouth and up the East Coast.
Every cover is framed and fitted to the vessel, heat-welded into one skin, vented so condensation doesn't sit on the gelcoat, and finished with access zips where you need to get aboard.
Before we quote
Every job starts with a survey. We measure the elevations, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings — and the number you get back is the number you pay. No provisional sums, no "subject to access".
Illustrative figures. Your survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Start from your phone
Not every job needs a site visit to get going. Send a couple of photos and rough dimensions and one of our installers will tell you what's involved — including when shrink wrap isn't the right call.
Whole item in frame, plus one close-up of the access side.
WhatsApp or email, with the postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Recent work
Boats, buildings, aircraft, plant and abnormal loads — wrapped by the same crews, to the same standard.
Where we work
The workshop is on the Island and the marine work clusters along the South Coast — Cowes, Southampton, Portsmouth, Poole and Plymouth. But scaffolding, industrial and aviation jobs take our crews the length of the country every week, from Brighton to Aberdeen. Travel is priced into the quote up front.
Each area below has its own page covering the local yards, dock and building stock we work with, and how quickly we can get to you.
Track record
Shrink Wrap UK has delivered containment for construction, industrial, marine, transport and aviation clients across the UK and Europe. Same crews, same standard, whether it's a garden-scale scaffold or a full commercial encapsulation.
Shrink Wrap UK did an outstanding job on our scaffolding project in Southampton. The team worked efficiently and the site was secure and fully weatherproof. Impressed with the quality, durability and attention to detail.Ben · Southampton · Construction

Rough dimensions and a photo are enough to get a price moving. If it's urgent, ring — someone who's actually installed the stuff will pick up.
Common questions
Sheeting is fixed in overlapping panels, so it flaps in wind, works loose at the laps and lets water and dust through. Shrink wrap is heat-welded into one continuous skin and shrunk tight to the frame — it doesn't flap, it's far quieter for neighbours, and it holds up for months rather than weeks.
It depends on exposure and gauge, but a properly installed wrap will typically hold from several months to over a year. We'll tell you honestly what to expect for your site and specify the film accordingly.
We travel. The Island is our base and the South Coast is our busiest patch for marine work, but our crews work across the UK and take on European and international projects. Travel and accommodation are priced into the quote so there are no surprises.
Yes. We build the frame around the rig and detail the wrap where it meets the mast and standing rigging. It's more involved than an unstepped wrap, so tell us at survey stage and we'll price it properly.
Fire-retardant film is available and is what we'd normally specify for occupied buildings, hot works and most commercial scaffolding jobs. Tell us your site requirements and we'll confirm the grade in writing with the quote.
We do, unless you'd rather handle it. Removal and responsible disposal or recycling of the film can be included in the original price so it's dealt with in one arrangement.
