Metal Finishing & Surface Treatments UK
B&Z provides end-to-end metal finishing for sheet-metal parts in mild steel, stainless and aluminium. From in-house deburring, linishing and graining to managed powder coating, wet paint, anodising, passivation and plating.
We handle surface prep, masking and colour matching (RAL/BS), then verify finish quality with film-thickness checks and cosmetic inspection so assemblies are ready for service or showcase. Combine finishing with our cutting, folding and welding for a single, accountable schedule.
