Specialist Painters

For over 50 years, Takapuna Contractors (TCL) has been a trusted name in Auckland. We began in the demolition and marine painting industry, building a strong reputation for quality workmanship and reliability.

As the industry evolved, so did we. Under Carl’s leadership, the business has grown into a specialised painting company serving commercial property owners, businesses, homeowners, and industrial clients. Today, we help protect, restore, and refresh assets of every size.

Whether it’s residential, commercial, or industrial, TCL can give your property a new lease of life.

Our team combines expert skills with high‑quality products. We are experienced industrial painters specialising in surface preparation, painting, industrial plant maintenance, and machinery restoration.

We blast and paint — removing rust and recoating tractors, truck chassis, trailers, steel structures, and more. Wherever the rust is, we’ll remove it and restore your surface properly.

Proper surface preparation is critical to the performance of any coating system. Using wet and dry abrasive blasting methods, we remove rust, corrosion and failing coatings from structural steel, machinery, industrial equipment and transport fleets, creating the ideal surface for long-lasting protection and paint adhesion.

Surface

Preparation

Prepare your metal surfaces for long-lasting coatings with our professional wet and dry abrasive blasting.
We specialise in blasting for steel structures, trucks and heavy vehicles, tractors and farm machinery, industrial plants and equipment.
Our process begins with high-pressure water blasting to remove loose rust, dirt and contaminants. When then apply the most suitable abrasive blasting method to strip old coatings and create the ideal surface profile for new paint systems.

A. J Patever, Ports of Auckland Ltd

I wanted to say thank you for a job well done. I have worked with many painters/water blasters

over the years and seldom encounted such a professional operation. Thanks for a job well done; it's always comforting to know that we have people of your calibre on standby!

We recently had our house painted by Carl and his hard-working team, and also had the roof Waterblasked.

We are delighted with the job they have done. The house looks fantastic, and the workmanship is excellent. Karl and his team showed up exactly on time too, sometimes unusual for tradesmen!!!

Karl is a man of integrity, and my husband and I cannot speak more highly of him.
