PROTECT IT - MAKE IT YOURS

Choose your metal finish

A good finish does two jobs: it protects the metal from the weather and wear, and it gives the finished piece its look. We offer a full range of finishes, including galvanising, powder coating, wet spray, heat treating and patinas, so your gates, railings, fencing, balustrades and architectural features stay protected and look the way you want.

We’re based in Hampshire and finish metalwork for homes and businesses across Surrey, London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire. Whether it’s for outside or inside, in the countryside or by the sea, we’ll recommend the finish that suits the job.

Metal finishing options with Fraser Gates

Benefits of Metal Finishing

  • long-lasting protection - galvanising and coatings that guard against rust and weathering.
  • A choice of looks - from smooth powder-coated colour to unique patinas.
  • Suitable for coastal locations - we offer marine powder coating for seaside properties.
  • Inside and out - finishes for external and internal metalwork.
  • Low maintenance - our metalwork requires little upkeep.

Which METAL FINISH is right for you?

Pick your finish

Every finish is chosen to suit your project, so these are starting points rather than a catalogue. We’ll recommend the right option for your metalwork, location and style.

Galvanising

Hot-dip galvanising gives steel a tough, protective layer that helps it resist rust. It’s the foundation of our finishes and is standard on our gates.

Powder Coating

A hard-wearing coating in the colour of your choice, giving a smooth, even finish that stands up to everyday use and the weather.

Marine Powder Coating

Seaside locations need extra protection. Marine powder coating is designed for coastal conditions, where salty air is tougher on metal.

Wet Spray

A sprayed paint finish that gives a smooth, consistent colour. It’s useful for achieving a particular look or for pieces that suit a sprayed finish better.

Heat Treating

A heat-based finish that gives steel a distinctive, characterful look.

Patina

A natural, aged finish that gives metalwork depth and character, ideal for a traditional or rustic look.

Not Sure Which Option Suits You?

Finished to Match Your Home

We can finish our metalwork in a wide choice of colours and styles, so everything matches your property, from front door to gate to fencing. Galvanising and powder coating are our most popular combination, giving long-lasting protection and a smooth, even finish.

For a more individual look, we can also wet spray, heat treat or apply a patina to give your metalwork its own character.

“We used Rory and his services to extend two sets of driveway gates, an excellent job was carried out and a problem sorted for us. Highly recommend and would use again if we needed to.”

Fiona Strudwick

“If anybody is considering having gates, we would not hesitate in recommending Rory Fraser. We had some challenging levels on one of the gates which was installed and from the survey to end product the whole process was seamless. We could not be happier. Thank you Rory and the team.”
