How We Repair Your Rusted Wrought Iron Rails

The next step is to remove the rusted, broken-off wrought iron tubing from the concrete, along with the anchoring cement, leaving the original inch and a half core drilled hole. After removal of your wrought iron railing system, we will utilize a band saw to remove the rusted 1-inch tubing to the point where the rust stops. Then our welders will weld on new wrought iron rail support tubes to your existing railing. Once the new wrought iron railing tubes have been properly welded to your existing railing, the welds will be mechanically ground out, and the new tubing will be cleaned with trisodium phosphate. Trisodium phosphate will completely clean off any oil or residue on the new wrought iron tubing. After your wrought iron extensions have been completely cleaned. After your wrought iron rails have been primed, we will carefully paint them with 2 coats of rust-resistant paint. After the paint is completely dried we will reinstall your wrought iron rails into their original configuration. After double-checking the height and plum of your railing system, they will be ready to be cemented into place with anchoring cement. Mixing anchoring cement, we will pour that into the cavity of your previous bored-out holes.

Refurbishing And Painting Your Wrought Iron Rails
Many northern Virginia homeowners want their wrought iron rails completely restored. We can remove your wrought iron rails and bring them back to our fabrication shop, removing the old paint. Often times we refurbish and paint your railing on site. Fairfax Contractor will use an angle grinder with a steel brush to remove to get rid of all the rust, and old flaking layers of paint. This step is important because the new paint won’t bond with the existing paint. We can’t protect the metal unless the railings are cleaned of loose rust and un-sound paint. Once the old paint is removed through a chemical and grinding process your rails will be ready to be painted. Our craftsmen will then prime and paint the rails to give them a new look. For the best results, we use a direct to metal (DTM) paint that contains rust inhibiting ingredients. Using ordinary exterior paint will lead to chipping. This option of repairing rails is much more cost-effective than constructing new wrought iron rails, gates, or fencing.
