Alloy refurbishment
in Portchester
Fifteen minutes round the top of the harbour, and usually first or last on the Fareham run. Easy access and a mix of coastal and inland conditions.

On the way to everywhere
Portchester sits on the route to Fareham and Gosport, which means it is easy to fit in and easy to get an early slot.
Most of the housing is post-war with driveways, so kerb repair is straightforward and collection is simple. There is very little to negotiate.
Anything down near the shore or the castle gets the salt, and those wheels look closer to Southsea than to Waterlooville. Further up towards the A27 it is noticeably milder.
Because we pass through most weeks, Portchester often gets a collection at the start of a run rather than waiting for a dedicated trip.
Where we collect from
What changes by street is mostly parking and how much salt the car sees. The work and the price do not.
Portchester village
Driveways and easy access throughout.

Near the water, so more corrosion.

PO16Paulsgrove border
On the island side of the run.
PO6Downend
Straightforward, easy collection.
PO16Cornaway
Modern estate, no access problems.
PO16Portchester north
Milder for salt, further from the shore.
PO16Harbour edge
Worth a sealant after refinishing.
PO16The local questions
How quickly can you get here?
Fifteen minutes, and we pass through most weeks on the way to Fareham. It is one of the easier places to get an early slot.
Does being near the water matter?
Down by the castle and the harbour edge, yes. Further north it is much milder. The photograph usually tells us which you are.
Can you do the work at my house?
Kerb repair, yes, and access here is good. Anything needing the oven or lathe comes back to the unit, with collection included.
Do you cover Paulsgrove?
Yes, and it usually runs with Portchester on the same morning.
Around Portchester
Portchester sits on the Fareham and Gosport run, which is out most weeks.
