03 · Surface Preparation

Shot blasting & pre-treatment, on the same site.

Every fabricated assembly is shot blasted, chemically pre-treated and degreased before it sees the coating booth. Doing it under the same roof keeps tolerances tight, lead times short and accountability clear.

  • Shot blasting to SA 2.5 (near-white metal)
  • Multi-stage chemical pre-treatment
  • Rust removal & remedial repair welding
  • Masking of threads & mating surfaces

04 · Powder Coating

Our coating capability exists primarily to finish our own fabrications, but we also coat customer-supplied parts. Polyester, epoxy and architectural-grade powders applied in a controlled environment, with any RAL, BS or Pantone reference matched.

  • Polyester, epoxy & hybrid powders
  • Heat-resistant up to 600°C for stoves & flues
