Selected Projects

Three jobs, start to finish.

Before and after: rusted white railings on house steps, then the same railings repaired and refinished in anthracite grey

Rusted railings, repaired and refinished

The job: the railings on a set of house steps had never been galvanised and had rusted, with some snapped welds.

What we did: cut out the damaged sections and fitted replacement sections, removed the rust and repaired the snapped welds, then finished the railings in red oxide primer and an anthracite grey topcoat.
