Galvanizing
Hot dip galvanising has been used worldwide for well over a century because it provides a long-life, low-maintenance corrosion protection which safeguards steel from atmospheric attack.
With a number of different bath sizes at our various plants, we galvanize everything from lighting columns to bridges, fencing products to industrial flooring, structural sections to access support steelwork, and motorway guardrails to bracketry and fixings.
When it comes to corrosion protection, our dedicated and expert workforce and large and modern HGV fleet enable us to provide the highest standards of hot dip galvanising quality and service available.
Additionally, our dedication to adding value at every step ensures we deliver the optimal possible results and service. For example, we never forget that hot dip galvanising is a hands-on process - the final quality of which rests on the skill of our technical galvanising operatives.
All galvanising at Joseph Ash plants adhere to the coatings requirements of BS EN ISO 1461:2009 and BS EN ISO 9000 quality assurance specifications.

Shot Blasting
Before steel or other metals are galvanized they need to be cleaned of rust and other uneven/dirty particles using a process called shot blasting. Shot blasting cleans metal and gives it a smooth surface by firing a high pressure/high speed spray of abrasive materials onto a rough metal surface.
Joseph Ash Galvanizing uses fully approved top of the range heavy duty shot blasting cabinets as well as highly skilled shot blasting operators, to shot blast and strip all architectural and structural steel such as gates, fences, vehicle chassis, railings, sculptures, agricultural equipment, steel pipes, bridge components etc.
The shot blasting cabinets allow us to clean large metal surfaces on behalf of metal fabricators from many different industries across the UK. They are also fully approved and meet all COSSH, health and safety and environmental regulations.
With both an automatic loading and shot reclaim system, the process is an incredibly efficient and fast way to remove surface contaminants, without chemically altering a fabrication.
No other process is more suited to removing undesired layers or coatings.

Galvsafe Zinc Spray
Despite its inherent toughness and abrasion resistance, hot-dipped galvanized coatings can still get damaged or need repair after on-site alteration*. To provide further metal protection for steel parts that are altered or damaged after galvanization, Joseph Ash Galvanizing sells an own-brand galvanizing zinc repair spray called Galvsafe. Galvsafe can simply be sprayed onto fabrications from about 12 inches away, as long as the surface of those fabrications have been cleaned to remove wax, dirt, polish or grease etc.
Galvsafe was developed by Joseph Ash Galvanizing in response to many customers asking for an alternative spray to the branded products that are currently available on the market.
Galvsafe has the following important features:
High zinc content which contains 88% zinc in the dry film. (Zinc dust content conforms with BS EN ISO 3549)
Great colour match with most galvanized coatings
Good adhesion
Safe for over painting
Safe for use on products due to be powder coated after galvanizing as Galvsafe contains high temperature resins.
