Undercoat/Galvanizing

Undercoat, Galvanising & Powder Coating

We offer three finish options for metal gates — undercoat, hot-dip galvanising and powder coating — either on their own or combined. Each suits different budgets and requirements, so you can choose the option that fits your project.

Undercoat

A primer coat applied to bare steel before powder coating. It helps seal the metal surface and gives the topcoat a more even base to bond to.

Hot-Dip Galvanising

A zinc coating applied by dipping the steel in molten zinc. The zinc coats the whole gate, including hollow box sections, and corrodes ahead of the steel beneath it — a widely used method for protecting steel gates outdoors.

Powder Coating

An electrostatically applied coloured finish, available in a wide range of RAL colours. Powder coating gives the gate its final appearance and adds a further protective layer over the metal.

Choose the finish option that best suits your gate and budget — pricing varies depending on your selection. Contact us on 020 8911 6000 for a quote tailored to your requirements.
