​

Our services

​

• Gate repairs and servicing: We repair and service pedestrian, driveway and estate gates — including wrought iron, mild steel, aluminium and electric/automated systems. Common jobs include hinge and pivot replacement, frame straightening, latch and lock repairs, motor diagnostics and full mechanism overhaul.

​

• Railing and balustrade repairs: Whether boundary railings, balcony balustrades or internal stair railings, we fix broken rails, replace damaged posts, re-weld joints and re-secure loose fixings. We focus on restoring structural integrity while retaining original style.

​

• Rust treatment and protective finishes: Kingston’s riverside environment can accelerate corrosion. We remove rust, treat affected areas with industrial-grade inhibitors, and apply long-lasting protective coatings and paint systems to prevent recurrence and restore visual appeal.

​

• Welding, fabrication and replacement parts: Our team fabricates replacement parts and performs on-site welding for sections that cannot be sourced. We tailor repairs to match existing profiles and finishes for a seamless result.

​

• Heritage and conservation work: We understand the importance of preserving historic details in Kingston’s conservation areas. Our craftsmen carry out sympathetic restorations that respect original designs and recommended conservation practices.

​

• Emergency and same-day response: For urgent security or safety issues, we offer rapid response repairs and temporary measures to secure properties until a permanent fix is completed.

​

• Maintenance plans: Regular servicing helps prevent major failures. We offer scheduled maintenance packages tailored to domestic and commercial needs, reducing downtime and extending the life of gates and railings.
