Our story
SA Protective Coatings was originally established by a previous owner, with Mathew Reed working within the business during its earlier stages. When the opportunity arose to purchase the company, Peter Reed acquired the business and continued its growth and development.
In its early years, operations began with a trailer, focusing primarily on pressure cleaning and occasional residential garage projects, with Peter and Mathew completing works directly. Over time, the business expanded steadily, increasing its capabilities, fleet, and project scale.
Today, SA Protective Coatings operates multiple trucks and project crews delivering work across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, with a growing focus on industrial flooring and heavy-duty environments. The company continues to grow year on year while maintaining strong attention to quality workmanship, structured delivery, and professional client relationships.

Our approach
SA Protective Coatings operates with a strong focus on quality workmanship, reliability, long-term performance, safety, professionalism, and honest advice. Maintaining professional relationships with clients is central to how the business operates.
Every project begins with understanding the client’s requirements and operating environment. Surface preparation is treated as a critical foundation stage. Grinding, crack repair, cleaning, and substrate correction are completed before installation to support proper bonding and long-term system performance.
Coating, screed, sealing, and polishing systems are then applied in controlled stages using products suited to the environment and intended use. Projects are personally managed to ensure consistency, quality, and adherence to agreed schedules.
