What our
clients say

Being a retired engineer with 40 years of experience (36 as a consulting engineer in the construction industry), I appreciate rare good after-sales service. The after-sales service I recently received from Galvatech is amongst the best I have received over the years, and it is a true measure of the professionalism of the company. I would most certainly recommend Galvatech to anyone who requires the services the company provides.

– Joanina Windvogel

It was a pleasure doing business with your company. Despite arriving at a very busy yard, everybody I encountered at every level of the business, was so willing to help and also so friendly – a pleasant surprise compared to most other industries!

– Tessa McKechniel

Great after hour delivery service! Brought my gates in Wednesday night after work. Did the EFT payment on Thursday morning and collected everything after work. What an absolute pleasure it was working with such a professional company.
Thank you!!

Helpful management! I had a very urgent gate for sand blasting, galvanizing and powder coating. The only problem was it all had to be done in 1 day! I spoke to a manager the day before and he made a plan for me. My customer was over the moon and I will never go anywhere else again. I was really surprised that it was even possible!
Thanks again!!!
