Commercial and industrial painting services Auckland and Upper North Island

Rust removal and protection for your steelwork

Rust removal is the backbone of what Takapuna Contractors does, its the company's core expertise and long-standing reputation. Rust, flaky coatings or salt-rough hulls, bridges, hi-ab trucks or plant are tackled head on with unrivalled experience and expertise.

With 50 years spent working on big steel structures, commercial vessels, ferries and superyachts, every layer is stripped back and cleaned up so coatings bond properly and perform as intended.

You benefit from mobile abrasive blasting using garnet for heavy corrosion, industrial water blasting up to 7000 PSI for deep cleaning and all the extras like needle gunning, mechanical grinding or cup brushing.

Each tough spot is given proper attention so coatings last longer and you are not stuck facing endless maintenance headaches or surprise expenses. For more details about the specialist prep work on offer, see our
surface preparation services.

Safe set up with mobile abrasive blasting

When steel decks on a ferry or factory tanks need attention, your site across Auckland or the Upper North Island becomes the work base – everything is set up directly where the work is required.


If you require full containment, from shrink-wrapping to encapsulation, your workplace stays safe and the surrounding environment is protected from dust or waste.

We try to keep disruption as minimal as possible, so your business can keep running smoothly while the paintwork takes shape. Even with big industrial projects or marine gear, you will see tidy work, strong control and steady progress as standard practice.

Heavy-duty coatings for any environment

Preparation is the foundation of every successful coating system. Years of hard-won experience are packed into each phase – abrasive blasting, high-pressure water blasting, rust removal, remedial work, shrink-wrapping and encapsulation.

That groundwork ensures your property receives the right coating, whether it is a multi-layer epoxy system for steel, marine-grade barriers for ships or extra impact protection for machinery.

Takapuna Contractors does the hard stuff, from specialised coating work and epoxy systems to fireproofing and intumescent coatings.

You receive high-durability epoxy coatings designed for New Zealand salt, wind and weather, marine finishes designed for heavy use and protective coatings for both structural steel and specialist plant.

Five decades of hands-on application experience mean only coatings proven to last in local conditions are chosen for your job, so your assets stay protected longer. Explore our gallery to see
examples of completed commercial painting projects.

Council compliance and tidy project delivery

Specialised painting goes beyond a simple colour change. Intumescent coatings for fire protection demand a careful hand, accurate application and strict records for council sign-off, and every requirement is handled from first coat through to the final documentation.

Your project receives certified PS3 paperwork, exact film-thickness proof and all supporting documentation for compliance.

If any surprises arise, everything is discussed openly and sorted with your input, guaranteeing transparency and a smooth outcome. Health and safety practices stay sharp for tanks, heights or confined spaces.

From first quote to tidy handover, your site stays protected, while your budget and deadlines are respected. For residential options, explore our
