Hot Dip Galvanising

Postby Specky » Mon 05.01.2009, 16:21

Does anyone know of a company that does Hot Dip Galvanising in the Swindon,Oxford,Bristol area...

I'm drawing a blank at the moment, I know I'm going to have to travel but how far is the question...

a quick squint on www.yell.com gives these guys in Brizzle. Aint got a clue what they're like, but they've been around a long time :?

Or this lot have got nationwide depots (nearest would probably be Eastleigh, Hants.

Other than that, it's a trip to Gods own country, where there are a few listed.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

steel fabricators and yer local manufacturer of 'metal' goods....

I was askin what due to size....I dont think you'll have any problems with the stuff youve listed other than the chassis....
someone will be able to do it but you may need to find a 'bigger' dipper :-D

I tried... :(

I rang several, no joy..and I got bored

One company told me to ring back next thursday to ask the question... :shock:

Another didn't answer the phone

The rest didn't know...

If Isambard Kingdom Brunel was still around in Swindon he'd have heart attack at the state of engineering here...

I searched the web, but nothing really grabbed me

So I thought..... there may be a wise old gentleman with the knowledge
