North West · L1 to L39, plus Wirral CH41 to CH49
Liverpool is a longer run for us from the Isle of Wight, so we batch north west work into planned trips and mobilise directly for larger contracts. Travel is its own line on the quote, and booking early is what brings it down.
Overview
Liverpool is three shrink wrap markets in one city. A working deep-water port with plant and freight standing on exposed quays; a waterfront of listed buildings that are almost always under restoration somewhere; and a steady run of city-centre construction through the Knowledge Quarter and the Baltic Triangle.
All three have the same enemy. Weather off the Mersey and the Irish Sea is wet, salt-laden and relentless, and it finds every lap in a sheet and every gap in a taped cover. A welded, drum-tight skin is the answer to all of them, which is why we treat Liverpool as a single region rather than three separate jobs.
Local focus
The port and the waterfront lead. Plant, machinery and oversized components standing on the Seaforth and Liverpool2 quays, where salt air does its damage long before anything mechanical fails. Abnormal loads wrapped for export through the port. Refit containment for vessels at Liverpool Marina and around the Cammell Laird yard. And long-programme scaffold encapsulation on the listed waterfront and Georgian Quarter stock, where the stone has to stay dry through a full restoration.

Local work
The work Liverpool actually generates — and what each kind of job needs from the wrap.
Plant, cranes components and fabricated assemblies standing on the Seaforth and Liverpool2 quays. Sealed, vented and dried with desiccant, because a Mersey quay will condense moisture inside a badly specified cover within days.
Oversized components and machinery wrapped before they leave through the Port of Liverpool — shrunk tight so nothing lifts on the road or on an open deck.
Sealed, weather-proof working envelopes for vessels at Liverpool Marina and around Birkenhead, so a yard can keep working through a Mersey winter.
Long-programme encapsulation on the Royal Albert Dock, the Pier Head and the Georgian Quarter — stone and brick that cannot be repaired wet, on buildings where appearance matters to the conservation officer.
Sealed enclosures around steelwork and dock structures during abrasive blasting and repainting, holding grit and overspray inside the work zone and out of the water.
Machinery sealed through shutdowns and relocations across Speke, Halewood and the wider Merseyside estates, with access panels agreed with the people who need them.

Coverage
Getting to you
Liverpool is a longer run for us from the Isle of Wight, so we batch north west work into planned trips and mobilise directly for larger contracts. Travel is its own line on the quote, and booking early is what brings it down.
We cover L1 to L39, plus Wirral CH41 to CH49 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across the Port of Liverpool and Seaforth, Liverpool Marina at Coburg Dock, the Royal Albert Dock, Cammell Laird, Birkenhead, Speke and Halewood and Liverpool John Lennon Airport. 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 Liverpool 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.
Liverpool · L1 to L39
Illustrative figures. Your Liverpool 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 Liverpool work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Liverpool 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 Liverpool enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Liverpool 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 Liverpool postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Liverpool is part of our regular coverage and machinery wrapping is the work we do most of there. Liverpool is a longer run for us from the Isle of Wight, so we batch north west work into planned trips and mobilise directly for larger contracts. Travel is its own line on the quote, and booking early is what brings it down.
There is no Liverpool 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.
For larger jobs, yes — we mobilise directly. Smaller jobs are batched into planned north west runs, which keeps the travel line down. Tell us early and we will fit you into a trip that is already going.
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. Industrial shrink wrap is what we are asked for most in Liverpool, 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.
Yes. Birkenhead, Wallasey and the wider Wirral are part of the same Liverpool run, including the yards around Cammell Laird.
Yes. We wrap abnormal loads and machinery at the yard, on the trailer or at the quay, with lifting and lashing points kept clear so the load can still be craned and secured.
Yes. A sealed enclosure built around the scaffolded work zone holds blasting media and overspray inside, which matters most when the work is directly over or beside the water.
