How a Professional Install Can Save You Money
Many people are tempted to save money by handling their hygienic wall cladding installation themselves or using a general contractor. But whilst it might seem cheaper up front, cutting corners on installation can lead to costly problems later.
At Hycom, we’ve seen it all, and we know that a professional installation isn’t an added cost, it’s a smart investment.
Get It Right First Time
Incorrectly installed wall cladding can bubble, crack, or separate from the wall, especially in demanding environments like kitchens, labs, or cleanrooms. Fixing those problems means more downtime, wasted materials, and paying for rework.
Hycom’s expertly trained installers follow precise preparation and bonding procedures for every surface type, ensuring a seamless, long-lasting finish the first time around. You will find the knowledge we've gained over 20 years across multiple UK industry sectors second to none, and invaluable to your project.
We’ve often been called in to fix failed installations. Most of these could have been avoided with the right prep and adhesive from the start.
Protect Your Warranty & Compliance
Manufacturers’ warranties and hygiene certifications depend on correct installation. If it’s fitted incorrectly, you could lose both, leaving you with issues if it arises.
A Hycom professional installation ensures your system is fully compliant with HSE and food-safety standards, with documentation to prove it.
Reduce Downtime & Disruption
DIY or non-specialist contractors often underestimate the preparation time required for installations, stretching projects far longer than planned.
Hycom’s installation teams plan every project in advance to ensure you have the prep done in time for the install.
During the installation, our fitters work efficiently with minimal disruption to your operations, and with consideration of the environment and its people. They will also work over weekends or out of hours when needed.
Extend the Life of Your Cladding System
A properly installed system performs better and lasts longer. Take Altro’s Whiterock which has a life expectancy of up to 25 years. Gaps, poor sealing, or wrong adhesive choice can all lead to early degradation, especially in humid or high-traffic areas.
Our installers match the right adhesive, trim, and sealant for each environment, so your investment lasts for years with less maintenance.
The Hidden Costs of “Cheaper” Installs
What looks like a saving at first can quickly become expensive:
- Reinstallation and repair costs
- Contamination risks and downtime
- Health & safety breaches
- Lost production or business interruption
With Hycom, you only pay once…for quality, assurance, and longevity.
In Summary
A professional installation saves you money by preventing problems before they start. It protects your investment, reduces downtime, and keeps your environment compliant and hygienic for years to come.
If you’re investing in hygienic wall cladding, make sure the installation matches the quality of the product.
