Metal gate and railing repairs are a multifaceted process, requiring careful assessment and tailored solutions. Initially, a thorough inspection is crucial to identify the root cause of the problem. This involves checking for structural damage like rust, rot, or bending, as well as examining the functionality of metal hinges, latches, gate tracks, and any other automated components. Based on the diagnosis, the repair strategy is formulated. This may include welding broken sections, replacing damaged hardware with durable alternatives, realigning the gate within its frame to eliminate rubbing or sticking, or applying protective coatings to prevent future corrosion.
For automated gates, electrical components are meticulously tested and repaired or replaced as needed, ensuring seamless and safe operation. Throughout the process, safety is paramount, and appropriate precautions, such as wearing protective gear and disconnecting power sources, are consistently observed. Finally, after completing the repairs, a test run is essential to confirm proper functionality and guarantee the gate operates smoothly and securely.

Iron Railing Repairs
Metal railings, while durable, can still suffer damage over time from weather exposure, impact, or simple wear and tear. Repairing them promptly is crucial not only for aesthetic reasons but also for safety. Neglecting rusted spots, loose connections, or bent sections can lead to further deterioration and potentially dangerous situations. Common metal railing repairs include welding cracks and breaks, repairing or replacing damaged railheads, straightening bent steel sections, and replacing damaged hardware like bolts and screws. Choosing the right repair method and materials is essential to ensure a long-lasting and structurally sound railing.
Steel Gate Refurbishment
Steel gate refurbishment is a process designed to restore and enhance the appearance and functionality of existing metal gates. Over time, exposure to the elements, wear and tear, and potential damage can leave metal gates looking weathered, rusty, and possibly even structurally compromised.
Refurbishment aims to address these issues through a variety of techniques, including rust removal, welding repairs, repainting, and hardware replacement including hinges and locks. The process not only improves the gate's aesthetic appeal, making it look like new again, but also extends its lifespan, saving property owners the expense of a complete gate replacement. Depending on the extent of the damage, refurbishment can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative.
Metal Railing Refurbishment
Metal railing refurbishment is a cost-effective and environmentally sound approach to revitalising worn or damaged railings, breathing new life into existing structures instead of opting for complete replacement.
The process typically involves a thorough assessment of the railing's condition, identifying areas of rust, corrosion, damage, missing or loose metal components. Surface preparation is key, often including the removal of old paint, rust, and debris through methods like sandblasting, grinding, or chemical stripping.
Once prepped, repairs are made to address structural weaknesses, followed by the application of a protective coating, such as zinc primer and paint, to prevent future corrosion and enhance the railing's aesthetic appeal. A well-executed refurbishment not only restores the railing's original functionality and safety but also significantly extends its lifespan, contributing to long-term cost savings and a more sustainable approach to property maintenance.
OUR EXPERTISE SHINES THROUGH
The Pivot hinge on this iron gate was completely broken. We had to remove the gate and replace the pivot hinge. This gate repair was extremely tricky due to the weight of the steel gate.
This photo shows the metal gate after the repair. A new pivot hinge has been installed and the gate is in full working order.
These metal railings were refurbished. They had new railheads welded on where they were broken or missing. They also had new vertical metal bars welded in where they were damaged.
The railings and the concrete base were then painted with two coats of zinc primer and two coats black gloss.
