Restoring Wrought Iron Gates & Railings

Period wrought iron gates, garden railings, estate gates, church railings and decorative ironwork are our specialism. We remove decades of paint layers, rust and pitting corrosion — leaving the underlying metal ready for a coating that actually lasts.

Process

The Process

1. Assess & Protect

Survey the ironwork, mask any surrounding stone, timber or glass, sheet the ground.

2. Strip Rust, Paint & Corrosion

Controlled abrasive blast to Sa 2½ / Sa 3, bright metal, defined surface profile.

3. Prep for Repaint / Powder Coat

Clean handover to your coating team — often same-day to avoid re-oxidation.

Period & Listed Ironwork

Grade II heritage gates, church railings and estate ironwork all handled with full documentation, method statement and cover.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you restore Victorian/period wrought iron gates?

Yes — this is one of our most satisfying jobs. We strip decades of paint layers and pitting rust back to bright metal, which is the only proper foundation for a new coating that will actually last.

Do you offer a repaint or powder-coating referral after cleaning?

Yes. We work with a small network of trusted powder-coaters and traditional coatings applicators across the region, and where possible we blast and hand over the same day so no rust bloom forms before the new coating goes on.

How long does gate restoration take?

Depends on size, condition and finish, but most residential gate pairs are stripped in a day. Add another day for coating handover. Estate gates and long railing runs take proportionally longer — we'll always give a firm timeline in the written quote.
