Hot dip galvanizing

Galvanizing steel creates a durable finish that protects against corrosion for much longer than coating alternatives such as paint.

Who we work with

We offer galvanizing for companies across a wide range of sectors. From traditional construction and infrastructure companies requiring structural steel galvanizing to the preservation of intricate sculptures or small steel parts, we can provide high quality galvanizing and steel protection services for you.

Telecoms and datacentres

Most of the world is now heavily reliant on telecommunications and technology, and most of this technology uses steel elements to work. Ensure telecoms and datacentres are kept up and running by keeping their components in optimal condition.

Agriculture and horticulture

The agricultural industry has a heightened risk of corrosion, due to the prevalence of chemicals and exposure to bad weather conditions. Hot dip galvanizing protects agricultural steel from corrosion, saving you time and money maintaining large steel fabrications such as steel frame buildings, animal pens, and gates.

Nuclear and energy

Nuclear companies need to meet stringent requirements due to the nature of their work, and companies in the wider energy sector find themselves needing to work towards sustainability goals. Hot dip galvanizing is an energy-efficient way of protecting steel in the nuclear and energy sectors against corrosion.

 It’s devastating when you spend 3 months full-time producing a sculpture, just for a galvanizer to mess it up in 30 minutes. But since switching to Premier Galvanizing, I’ve been very happy. The team there are easy to reach out to and I can rely on them to look after my work.
