Hot dip galvanising - a coating that lasts up to 170 years
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.

Joseph Ash Galvanizing

Joseph Ash Galvanizing’s large capacity tanks allow me to create works of art which have dimensions over the restrictions of most normal tanks. My sculptures always require special handling and the team at Joseph Ash Telford always deliver an excellent job, ensuring a great finish to the works I’ve often taken many months to create.
