Our Metalwork Your Way!
All of our products can be customised to meet your requirements. Our infill bars can be made from hollow or solid bars. Their profile can also be round or square. Our railheads can be swapped with another type from a wide range of styles and we can even manufacture our products with or without railheads. Each products can be made with or without an arched top. When requesting a quotation please let us know if you have any preferences and we’ll be happy to help.
Galvanised and Powder Coated | Whilst this finish is more expensive than the others, is one of the best long-term finishes available for architectural metalwork and is one we highly recommend. It combines the benefits of hot dip galvanising (see Galvanised Only finish for more details) which has anti-corrosive properties with a high-quality powder coated finish. Powder coating is an industrial process which involves curing powdered paint on top of the metalwork in a heated oven.
We can arrange to powder coat our products in most classic RAL colours.
Like all galvanised metalwork, small vent holes will be visible on hollow section steel. which is a requirement of the hot dip procedure. Some fettling/sanding down of the galvanised residue is done by our supplier prior to powder coating.
All our galvanising and powder coating processes are undertaken by an outside supplier. Hence we have no control over this process other than to supervise their quality. It is noted that whilst we take great care and attention to all our products, over time the galvanising or powder coating finishes may sustain scratches, chips or in the unlikely event wear away. If this occurs it may expose the metalwork to the elements, a situation that could lead to some rusting. As a result, no type of finishing is included in our guarantee.
Galvanised Only | KP Engineering can arrange to galvanise most of our products by using the hot dip method. The galvanising is silver or grey in colour and is likely to become darker over time as it weathers.
Galvanising will generally stop the metalwork from rusting, unless it has chipped, exposing the metalwork beneath. Site alterations can be made good by using a cold galvanising spray available from most DIY stores.
Galvanising is considered to be an industrial finish and does not always produce a smooth surface due to the process. Fettling is not included, so please be prepared to see some zinc residue on the surface. Furthermore, on hollow section steel, small vent holes will be visible.
The metalwork can be left as galvanised only or it can be painted over. Before painting, the surface should be lightly sanded down, then a mordant T-wash solution should be applied, before finally applying the paint.
A galvanised finish can also be powder coated prior to delivery or installation. (Please refer our Galvanised and Powder Coated finish for more information).

Unfinished (Mill Finish) | We can offer our fabricated gates and railings in an untreated “mill finish” appearance. These items are not galvanised or powder coated, there is no red oxide or black paint. Instead they are manufactured and supplied in their bare metal state leaving the client to apply their own finish. This unfinished option has a shorter lead time and costs less.
However, if the products remain untreated or are painted with red oxide and black paint, rust will appear and the client will be required to maintain the products from time to time. We recommend using Hammerite paint.
We now work directly with end clients only and no longer supply through intermediaries such as building contractors. Our past experiences have shown that dealing directly with the client results in a better experience for all parties. If you are a contractor, you are welcome to request a quote from us on behalf of your client, but ultimately, we will only serve the client. Therefore, we kindly ask that you ask your client to get in touch with us directly to request a quote from the start. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Incredibly professional and helpful service from start to finish.I am delighted with the result and the company was very easy to deal with from the office to the surveyor to the installers.
Jane SpencerMy interaction with KP Engineering was a pleasure from start to finish - they were responsive and helpful, providing great advice and help during the design activities. They were very efficient and updated me frequently on the progress. The finished railings are superb quality and looks fantastic having been installed by the friendly and very efficient team. If you want railings, these are the guys you need to talk to.
Tony GauntWe used KP Engineering for my balcony railings around 4 years ago and honestly couldn't be happier with how it went. We are only just getting round to leaving this review now, but it's a testament to their great work that the railings still look as great as the day they were put up. Pravin and Ketan looked after everything from start to finish, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. The installation team was brilliant to deal with - really professional, turned up when they said they would, and got the job done cleanly. They did a brilliant job, and we would absolutely use them again. Kish.
KCVery pleased with gate and railings from KP Engineering! Excellent customer care.
John ApplebyI highly recommend KP Engineering for all metal work in railings, fencing and gate manufacture. We had two front gates installed and are very happy with the quality and finish of the products. Right from the start from my initial enquiry to the final installation, they have provided an excellent professional service in terms of reliability, good advice, attention to detail, communication and customer service. The company is highly experienced in manufacturing, supply and installation of metal works. Highly recommended and I would definitely use them again.
