Surface Preparation
A long-lasting paint finish starts with proper surface preparation.
Before repainting any metalwork on site, we carefully inspect its condition and prepare the surface accordingly. Depending on the project, this may include:
- Removing loose or flaking paint.
- Rust removal.
- Grinding and sanding.
- Cleaning and degreasing.
- Priming exposed metal.
- Applying anti-corrosion treatments where required.
Proper preparation improves paint adhesion, helps prevent future corrosion and significantly extends the lifespan of the finished coating.

Areas We Cover
External metal surfaces are constantly exposed to rain, moisture, sunlight and pollution. In London’s damp climate and frequent rainfall, paint naturally fades, cracks and peels over time, leaving steel vulnerable to rust and corrosion.
From thorough surface preparation and rust treatment to high-quality protective coatings, we deliver durable, long-lasting finishes for residential, commercial and industrial properties.
We regularly carry out interior and exterior metal painting projects for homeowners, businesses, landlords and property managers across Greater London and the surrounding areas.

FAQs
How do you prepare rusty metal for painting?
Depending on the condition of the metalwork, preparation may include removing loose paint and rust, cleaning, sanding, degreasing and priming exposed steel before repainting.
How do you paint metal that is already painted?
We inspect the existing paintwork and determine the appropriate preparation method based on its condition and adhesion. The surface is then prepared accordingly. Where required, compatible primers are applied before the final paint is applied.
What is the cost of a metalwork painting service?
The cost depends on factors such as the size of the metalwork, its condition, the amount of preparation required, accessibility and the coating system used. On-site metal painting services typically start from £180. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quotation tailored to your project.
How long does metal paint last?
The lifespan of painted metal depends mainly on exposure to the elements, including sunlight, moisture, rain and pollution, as well as the condition of the metal and the coating system used. Damage to the paint, such as chips or deep scratches that expose bare steel, can also allow rust to develop. With proper surface preparation and high-quality protective coatings, metalwork can remain protected and maintain its appearance for many years.
