Gate Sandblasting

Gates can be timber, wrought iron, mild steel or a combination of materials, and each calls for a different approach. We identify the substrate and the coating condition before selecting a controlled cleaning method.

For timber, the priority is revealing sound grain without damaging the fibres. For metal, the goal is a clean, consistent surface with rust and failed paint removed so a coating contractor or homeowner can apply protection promptly.

We can review whether a gate is best treated in place or prepared off site. Access, surrounding planting, hinges and decorative ironwork all influence the plan, and we protect adjacent masonry and drive surfaces before starting.

Once metal is exposed it should be primed quickly to reduce flash rusting. We explain the handover condition clearly, so you know whether the next step is primer, paint, oil or stain.
