Coastal Metalwork
Wrought iron gates that withstand coastal gales and salt spray — hand-forged designs for Thorpe Bay seafront and estuary homes.
What We Do
Covering bespoke gate design, hand fabrication in steel or wrought iron, marine-grade corrosion protection, and electric automation integration.
Wrought Iron Gate Design & Install

Metal Gate Repair & Restoration

Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Coastal properties face accelerated metal degradation from salt spray and gales. Without proper protection, wrought iron gates rust through within five years, requiring expensive replacement.
Coastal gales carry salt spray that corrodes unprotected metal gates within months
Shallow post foundations in sandy coastal soil let heavy wrought iron gates drop
Coastal gales put constant load on automation systems not rated for wind resistance
Zinc coating bonds to steel at molecular level, preventing corrosion for 20+ years
Concrete footings extend below sandy topsoil into stable substrate for permanent support
