Steel wall painting - how does one ....

[WellGoodperson]

You can see on the attached picture that the top part of the wall needs some looking after.  Its non-standard construction so the red bit is steel as far as I am aware.

 

I am not sure what I ask a tradesman to do here. Prep and repaint? If so, with what type of paint? 

 

I know a good tradesman should know the answer to these but it would not hurt to know myself so I am not being taken for a ride.

 

Also cost estimates on something like this?

 

Thank you in advance

I can't advise what paint, but if you did not know that is a BISF house (British Iron and Steel Foundation) which may help your searching or tell any tradesman you speak to it's BISF.

Thanks, I will put that in my search for tradesman.

 

Cost and the job specifics next on what to expect...⁉️
