Services
Electroplating
Our electroplating service enhances metal surfaces with durable, corrosion-resistant coatings. We offer zinc, nickel, and chrome plating tailored to engineering and industrial applications. With advanced plating lines and vats accommodating items up to 2.5 metres, we ensure precision finishes for components ranging from brackets to large-scale infrastructure.
Anodizing
Specialising in sulphuric anodising and chromate conversion, we provide protective and decorative finishes for aluminium. Our semi-automatic line handles lengths up to 2.6 metres in multiple colours, meeting demands in medical and pharmaceutical sectors. The process improves wear resistance while maintaining aesthetic quality.
Shot Blasting
Our shot blasting service prepares metals for finishing using bead and vapour blasting techniques. Equipped with a 4-metre walk-in blast room and dedicated stainless steel cabinets, we eliminate cross-contamination risks. This ensures surfaces achieve optimal texture and cleanliness for subsequent coatings.
Polishing
From mirror polishing to brush finishes, we refine metal surfaces to exact specifications. Our CSCS-trained team handles projects for airports, railways, and construction sectors. Capabilities include large-scale refurbishments and precision work on components requiring aesthetic or functional enhancements.
Stainless Steel Refurbishment
We restore stainless steel structures to their original condition through polishing and surface treatment. Past projects include London Heathrow Airport and St Pancras Station. Our process removes corrosion and wear while preserving structural integrity, ideal for high-traffic or historic sites.
