Shrink wrap is a trusted solution on construction projects – but its potential goes far beyond building sites. At EcoShrink, we act as shrink wrap specialists for events, film, emergency works and complex one-off structures, helping clients protect more than just scaffolds and façades. Our services offer fast, secure, and weather-resistant protection for festivals, sporting events, emergency shelters, temporary structures, and other specialist shrink wrap installations across the UK.
Fast, Reliable Protection for Outdoor Events
Organising an outdoor event means you are racing against time and the weather. Whether it’s a concert stage, a pop-up bar, grandstand seating, or sensitive AV equipment, exposure to rain or wind can cause significant disruption and damage. Shrink wrap provides a clean, tight-fitting cover that won’t flap, leak, or shift in poor conditions. This gives you peace of mind and enhances your professional presentation.
Unlike traditional tarps or tents, shrink wrap is heat-sealed and tailored directly to the structure. This offers a sleek, branded, and secure solution. We have supported clients in protecting festival stages overnight, shielding camera platforms at outdoor sporting events, and enclosing VIP hospitality areas before unpredictable weather hits.
Creating Temporary, Weatherproof Structures
Shrink wrap isn’t just for covering; it’s also for creating. We can transform metal frames, scaffolds, or timber skeletons into fully enclosed, watertight spaces. This versatility makes shrink wrap an ideal choice for temporary workshops, pop-up storage units, and staff welfare areas.
Because shrink wrap conforms tightly to the underlying framework, it can be applied in virtually any location and around any shape. This quality makes it perfect for restricted or uneven sites, where traditional modular structures may not be viable. On constrained city-centre or heritage sites, this can be a cleaner alternative to bringing in full modular cabins, especially where planning, access or ground conditions limit traditional temporary buildings.
Emergency Response & Humanitarian Relief
In emergency scenarios, speed is paramount. Whether dealing with storm damage, fire recovery, or rapid shelter construction, shrink wrap can provide immediate, robust coverage. We have collaborated with clients to:
Cover damaged rooftops to prevent further water ingress after storms
Enclose exposed interiors following fire or structural collapse
Create temporary shelter zones for emergency response teams
Safeguard high-value equipment or aid supplies in unpredictable environments
Our rapid-response teams can deploy nationwide, delivering practical, on-the-ground solutions when timing is critical. We understand the pressures of insurance timeframes, H&S sign-off and media scrutiny on emergency jobs, and keep our methods simple, safe and documented.
Transportation and Specialist Equipment Protection
When it comes to oversized or sensitive cargo, shrink wrap offers a tailored layer of protection during transit or storage. This includes:
Machinery and equipment for overseas shipping
Wind turbines, vehicles, or aircraft parts
Exhibition materials or bespoke event builds
When wrapped properly, your items remain clean, dry, and secure. This ensures they are protected from the elements, debris, and tampering throughout their journey.
For oversized or high-value items, we can combine wrap with impact protection, venting and access points so that inspections and tie-down checks are still straightforward.
Shrink Wrapping Specialists
At Ecoshrink, we merge construction-grade experience with a problem-solving mindset. Our team understands the pressures of live environments, whether it’s the lead-up to a major event or a reactive emergency job. We work with minimal disruption, maximum safety, and maintain clear communication throughout.
We use construction-grade films that are UV-stable and flame-retardant on most live environments, and we’ll always match the film grade to your fire, safety and programme requirements.
Your Reliable Partner in Protection
In the fast-paced world we operate in, having a reliable partner for protection is essential. When working on constructing or protecting structures, the last thing you want is for unpredictable weather or unforeseen circumstances to thwart your efforts. Shrink wrap acts as a formidable barrier against the elements. Whether for a small framework or a large construction, our shrink wrap technology can be adapted to your unique situation.
Improving Event Experiences
Events can be unpredictable. You need a solution that holds up under pressure. Shrink wrap’s seamless construction and tailored fit ensure that all your equipment and guests are protected. It helps maintain the ambiance and professionalism that every event strives for. Our clients often commend how shrink wrap has elevated their setups.
We can also work with your branding or scenic teams so the finished wrap fits the overall event look, rather than feeling like an afterthought.
When Time Matters Most
In emergency situations, every second counts. Our commitment is to provide fast, reliable, and effective shrink wrapping solutions to minimise damage and support recovery efforts. Our dedicated team is ready to assist you, so you can focus on the urgent tasks at hand.
