Overview
Farnborough is the centre of UK business aviation and the hangar work here is exacting. Aircraft sitting between charters, going into longer storage, or in for maintenance where the work has to be contained.
It is close enough to us to be a straightforward run, and it is the location where our aviation work is strongest.
Local focus
Aviation, and specifically business jets. Airframes going into medium and long-term parking, engines and nacelles wrapped for storage or pooling, and MRO containment inside the hangar where paint, blast or composite work has to be kept away from adjacent aircraft. Everything is carried on a non-contact cradle — nothing bears on control surfaces, probes or composite panels, and every protrusion is sealed individually and recorded.

Getting to you

We cover GU14 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across Farnborough Airport, the business aviation hangars, the Aerospace Centre and Blackbushe nearby. Travel is set out separately on every quote, so you can see exactly what the trip costs rather than finding it buried in a rate.
Before we quote
Every Farnborough job starts with a survey — on site, or from your photos if that is quicker. We measure it, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings, and the number you get back is the number you pay.

Illustrative figures. Your Farnborough survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Pricing
Priced on the square metres of film that end up on the frame, which follows the profile rather than the footprint.
The frame is often more of the job than the film. Complex shapes and awkward access both add crew time.
Flame-retardant and heavier gauges cost more per square metre. We specify for the job rather than defaulting.
Set out as its own line so you can see it. Where we can batch Farnborough work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Farnborough rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice. What you get instead is a fixed price after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. Most Farnborough enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Farnborough job needs a site visit to get moving. Send a couple of photos and rough dimensions and one of our installers will tell you what is involved — including when shrink wrap is not the right call.
Whole item in frame, plus one close-up of the access side.
WhatsApp or email, with the Farnborough postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Farnborough is part of our regular coverage and aircraft covers is the work we do most of there. A short run for us and one of our regular aviation locations. We will walk the aircraft with your engineering team and agree the method in writing before we mobilise.
There is no Farnborough rate, because the price follows the job rather than the postcode. Size, framing, film grade and access drive it, and travel is set out separately so you can see exactly what you are paying. Send photos and rough dimensions and we will give you a realistic figure the same working day.
Yes, to your hangar induction, permit and access windows. We agree the method statement with your engineering team before anything comes into the hangar, and we work around your movements rather than expecting the hangar to stop.
Yes. Every quote is fixed after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. We do not use provisional sums and we do not add a "subject to access" line.
All five sectors — marine, scaffolding and temporary roofs, industrial, transportation and aviation. Aviation shrink wrap is what we are asked for most in Farnborough, but the same crews cover the rest.
Yes. We are fully insured and risk assessments and method statements are supplied as standard on every commercial job, along with film certification at handover.
