Hendriks, Helping you for over 50 years!

A high standard of work, consistently 

“Over the last 13 years, H.W Hendriks Ltd have carried out both internal and external, new and maintenance coatings applications within the Oil & Gas market using International Protective Coatings products.

This work involves surface preparation & coating application to high specification standards.

A high standard of work has been achieved consistently over this period, leading to the status of Approved Applicator.”

— Ian Harris, Key Account Manager at AkzoNobel Protective Coatings

Very proficient in applying these products

“Altex Coatings has supplied various protective coating products and has been involved in assisting with spot checking of QA records of H.W Hendriks Sons & Daughter Ltd, for over 30 years.



H.W Hendriks have completed specialist applicator training seminars which include correct application techniques, specialised equipment set up and QA recording.

Altex has found Hendriks’ to be very proficient in applying these products and have no reservations in their quality of application.”

— Ricky Collins, Sales & Marketing Manager at Altex Coatings Ltd

When John says he does it, he does it

“John’s a straight shooter. Old fashioned, which is just what I like. When John says he does it, he does it. It’s as simple as that. He’s been blasting and painting our concrete trucks for several decades now.”

— Steve Exton, Workshop Supervisor at Readymix Christchurch

Straight up and easy to deal with

“We supply Hendriks with all their specialist coatings. Been supplying them well before I got here, but in my experience, they’re no problems at all. Straight up and easy to deal with.”

— Mike Anderson from PPG Industries

Hendriks is our go-to for coating touch-ups

“We import electrical transformers for distribution throughout New Zealand. Hendrik’s are our go-to for repair coatings should the transformer be damaged in transit. 

We’re based in New Plymouth, but our Christchurch colleagues recommended Hendriks to us and it's been a very good experience.”

— Gabriel Barrientos, Senior Consultant Engineer at Hitachi ABB

You get precisely what you asked for

“Everyone knows about Johnny Hendriks. He’s a good man, of few words, but I choose him because you get precisely what you asked for. We send all our stuff to him, especially the big stuff. Hendriks’ sandblast, zinc spray and paint all our frameworks and advertising signs, that sort of thing.”

— Brian Tomlin from Agnew Engineering

Hendriks is brilliant. They know their stuff.

“I’d tell anyone who needs blasting done to go to John. We’ve been working with them for 30 years, in fact, we started using his father first - so we go back a long way. Hendriks is brilliant. They know their stuff. Even had him spray paint my bus.”

— Ralph McGeorge from Charleston Engineering

He’s very accommodating and does good work 

“Hendrik’s have been sandblasting and coating our steelwork for a lot of years now, and he’s very accommodating. Does good work and has good turnaround times. We do structural steelwork and architectural work and he’s very knowledgeable about both.”

— Ron van Peer from Bromley Steel

They guarantee their paintwork for 25 years

“We engineer a lot of pipework for water treatment plants and have been using Hendriks for a long time. It’s important our pipeworks are rust proof so the works got to be top-notch. 

And, in my experience, it is. They’ve got to guarantee their paintwork for 25 years, so you can depend on it being a good job.”

— Alan Belton, Steel Dept Foreman at G&T Construction

They always do a good job 

“We do a lot of componentry for Transpower and have been working with John and Paul at Hendriks since before that. Our components get blasted before galvanising. They always do a good job. They paint our threader drives too and there's never any problem.”

— Keiran Barron from Ashurst Engineering, Islington

The quality is always great

“They’re absolutely brilliant. We do a lot of civil and recreation construction and Hendrik’s blast and coat all our products and the gear we use. 

We’ve used a couple of other blasters, but Hendriks works out better and the price is really reasonable too. The quality is always great, so yeah I’ve no problems with them.”

— Hamish Murrell from HGM Construction Ltd

Truck deck sandblasting ‘good as gold’

“They sandblast and coat all our truck decks and trailers. It’s crucial to have a good job done on them and that’s what they give us. I’ve been working with Hendrik’s for nearly 30 years. I’ll keep using them, they’re good as gold.”

— Guy Norris from Guy Norris Engineering

They’re responsive and keep you informed 

“John’s a good, old-school businessman. The company’s responsive and keep you informed of progress, allowing us to forward plan our transport logistics for our portable buildings.

Most recently, they sandblasted, zinc coated and spray painted a 17-metre long trailer. From time to time we do a bespoke building such as a large switch room or a heavy subfloor structure and they blast and coat them for us. We’ve been using them about 15 years now.”

— Phil Kleiss, South Island Manager for Portacom

No problems, and good communication

“We supply Hendrik’s with their paint and specialist coatings. I’ve only been a sales rep for a couple of years but we’ve been supplying them much longer than that. My experience with them is good. No problems, good communication and John is a pretty straight-up guy. Christine in the office is easy to deal with too.”

— Brent Cooley, Sales Rep from Dulux

There’s nothing he can’t turn his hand to

“They can turn their hand to anything and make just about anything un- rustable. We make sawmilling equipment and metal machinery. But I’ve dealt with John for 20 odd years now and he’s done all kinds from structural steel to grain stacking machines. There’s nothing he can’t turn his hand to.”

— Steve Taylor from Skookum Technology

He’ll bend over backwards to get us out of a spot 

“Our working relationship goes all the way back with Hendrik’s. We do general heavy engineering and they do all our blasting and coatings. John’s excellent. A good guy, very accommodating. He’ll bend over backwards to get us out of a spot and it's always a very good, quality finish.”

— Ross MacDonald, Purchasing Officer at Southern Cross Engineering

We've never had to send anything back!

“We’ve had something in with Hendrik’s every month for the past 17 years! John and Paul are really good to deal with. We’ve got 100’s of fleet trucks and a classic collection of trucks too - and Hendrik’s do all our chassis and trailer protective coatings. Lots of tricky or fiddly stuff too. They’re good, we’ve never had to send anything back.”

— Gerard Daldry, Stock Truck Driver at Protranz
