Metal & gate stripping.
We strip paint and powder coating from metal gates, railings, bedsteads, garden furniture and ironwork back to bare metal, deal with the rust, then return it bare or finished. It is the right start before repainting, because new paint fails quickly over flaking layers and hidden rust. Each piece is priced after we see it.
Gates, railings and ironwork
Gates and railings get painted over again and again, until the paint is flaking, the detail is lost and rust is spreading underneath. Painting over it again only lasts a season or two. Stripping back to bare metal fixes the cause.
We strip paint and powder coating off gates, railings, cast-iron bedsteads, garden furniture and ironwork, then treat the rust before the piece leaves the workshop.
Return it bare to paint yourself, or have us finish it. Four-poster and cast-iron bedsteads, in particular, look superb stripped and re-finished.
What we strip

How it works
Photo and quote
Send a photo and rough size. Cast iron is heavy, so tell us whether you can drop it off or need a collection.
Strip
Paint, powder coating and old enamel come off back to bare metal, so the casting detail shows again.
Treat the rust
Bare cast iron and steel start to rust quickly, so rust is dealt with before the piece leaves the workshop.
Finish
Returned bare, or finished in clear lacquer, waxed black, high-temperature enamel or oil gloss.
Prices
Each piece is priced after we see it: size, detail and paint build-up change the job. Send a photo on WhatsApp for a quote. See the full price guide.
Turnaround
Larger pieces usually take 2–3 weeks. Large gates and full sets of railings are quoted with a date.
Metal & gate stripping: common questions
Can you remove powder coating?
Yes. We strip both paint and powder coating from metal gates, railings, bedsteads and garden furniture, back to bare metal.
Should I strip my gates before repainting?
If the paint is flaking or rust is coming through, yes. New paint over failing layers and hidden rust won't last. Stripping to bare metal and treating the rust gives the new finish a sound base.
Do you strip car parts?
Yes, we strip car body parts and other steel parts. Tell us what the part is and send a photo so we can confirm before you bring it in.
Do you collect, or do I drop it off?
Both. Smaller pieces are usually dropped at Crossley Mills in Honley. For larger jobs we run a Tuesday and Friday collection round, with no charge within 20 miles of the workshop, which covers Huddersfield, Holmfirth, Honley, Halifax, Wakefield and Leeds. Customers further away send pieces by overnight courier.
