Metal gate and railing repairs are a multifaceted process, requiring careful assessment which then require tailored solutions for each individual repair. We offer a free no-obligation site visit where we carry out a thorough inspection of the gate or railing in need of repair to identify the root cause of the problem. This can involve checking for structural damage in need of repair, rust, broken or damaged sections and examining the functionality of gate hinges, latches, gate tracks, and any other automated components that may need replacing or repairing. Based on the diagnosis, the gate or railing repair/restoration strategy is then formulated. This may include welding broken sections of the gate or railing, 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 an automated gate repair, electrical components are meticulously tested repaired or replaced as required, ensuring seamless and safe operation.

Metal railings, while extremely durable, will still suffer damage over time from weather exposure, impact, or wear and tear. Repairing railings promptly is crucial not only for aesthetic reasons but also for safety. Neglecting rust spots, loose connections, or bent, missing or broken sections on railings can lead to further deterioration and potentially dangerous situations. Common metal railing repairs include welding cracks and breaks, repairing or replacing damaged or missing railheads, straightening bent frames or bars, and replacing damaged hardware like bolts and brackets etc. Choosing the right repair method and the materials to be used is essential to ensure a long-lasting and structurally sound railing repair or restoration.
Metal gate restoration 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.
Restoration aims to address these issues through a variety of techniques we can use, 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 the expense of a complete gate replacement. Depending on the extent of the damage, a gate restoration can be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative.
Metal railing restoration is a cost-effective and environmentally sound approach to revitalising worn or damaged railings, breathing new life into existing structures instead of opting for a complete replacement.
The process typically involves a thorough assessment of the metal 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 railing 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
This photo shows the metal gate after the repair. A new pivot hinge has been installed and the gate is in full working order.
The Pivot hinge on this iron gate was completely broken. We had to remove the gate and replace the pivot hinge.
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.
