Electric Gate and uPVC Fence Respray — Darras Hall, Newcastle
Apex Specialist Spray Coatings Ltd completed an on-site electric gate and uPVC fence refurbishment at a private residential property in Darras Hall, Ponteland, Newcastle
The gate and fencing had faded through exposure to sunlight, affecting the appearance of the entrance to an otherwise beautifully presented property.
LocationDarras Hall, Ponteland, Newcastle
Building typePrivate residential property with an electric entrance gate and uPVC boundary fencing.
ServiceOn-site electric gate and uPVC fence spray painting, including cleaning, degreasing, Scotch-Brite surface preparation and application of three coats of UV-resistant polyurethane in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey.
Coating systemSelemix 2K polyurethane paint in RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey. Apex applied three coats on site to the electric gate and uPVC fencing after thorough cleaning, degreasing and Scotch-Brite surface preparation.

Before work began
Original condition
The electric entrance gate and uPVC fencing had become visibly faded following exposure to sunlight. The loss of colour left the entrance looking tired and reduced the visual impact of these prominent features.
The main concern was the weathered appearance of the existing surfaces. The project focused on refreshing the gate and fencing through on-site preparation and spray coating, bringing their appearance back in keeping with the surrounding property.
Because the gate and fence sit together at the entrance, achieving a matching colour across both was an important part of the refurbishment.
The Apex standard
Preparation
Apex thoroughly cleaned and degreased the electric gate and uPVC fencing before applying the new coating. This stage removed dirt and surface contamination that could interfere with adhesion or affect the appearance of the finish.
The surfaces were then scotched using Scotch-Brite abrasive pads. This preparation created a keyed surface for the new coating, with attention given to the profiles and edges of the gate and fencing.
Careful preparation was central to the project. Restoring faded exterior surfaces requires more than applying a fresh colour: the existing material must be properly cleaned and prepared to receive the coating.
Apex completed this preparation on site before proceeding with the three-coat polyurethane application.
Completed finish
The result
Apex restored the faded electric gate and uPVC fencing with a coordinated RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey finish, giving the property’s entrance a refreshed and more consistent appearance.
The matching colour brought the gate and fence together visually, complementing the property and improving the presentation of its boundary. Three coats of UV-resistant polyurethane provided the completed exterior finish.
This Darras Hall project demonstrates Apex Specialist Spray Coatings Ltd’s capability in on-site gate spraying, uPVC fence painting and residential exterior refurbishment in the Newcastle area. Apex carried out the work from preparation through to coating, applying the same attention to detail used on its larger industrial and commercial projects.
