I do this stuff myself. Hand grinder and wire brush attachment. If you don't have the time try your local powder coat shop, they should either help or know a company that can. I have used a company that strip antique doors, but they took forever as they were not interested & charged a fortune.

There's a place in Preston does a good job.

Reasonable price too and one of the lads is a scooter boy.
Did you have to do that?

There's a place in Birmingham called Sweeney and Sherlock that does it as well.

Afraid not. It was just one of those things I never got around too, somehow. But they were very helpful if I recall. Got to be worth checking out.

Got a feeling there's a place in Malmesbury as well. I'll see if I can find the link. In fact yer tis....

When i was young my Mom said "if you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing at all " ..................... and people wonder why I'm quiet around them !

I've used them in the past Shaun with no issues. Also used Ribble technology in Preston too, they're a bit pricier.
