Built Around You: Decorative & Bespoke Railings
Our custom railings are suitable for a wide range of settings, from private homes and public buildings to gyms, offices, and industrial sites. We offer flexible design options to suit architectural styles, practical needs, and site-specific constraints. Whether you prefer a minimalist design or something ornate and detailed, our experienced steel fabricators will guide you from concept to completion.
We fabricate and install:
- Wall Railings – Fixed directly to walls for staircases, boundary lines or raised platforms.
- Balcony Railings – Safety-focused yet stylish railings for traditional or steel frame balconies.
- Garden Railings – Decorative and durable, ideal for property borders or landscaped spaces.
- Ramp Handrails – DDA-compliant options for improved accessibility in public or commercial premises.
- Staircase Railings – Internal and external stair railings for added support and aesthetic continuity.
Every railing system is made to order using premium-grade steel and fabricated in line with BS 6180 regulations to ensure durability and safety.
Design & Fabrication
Our approach is collaborative and detail-oriented. From the outset, we work closely with you, your architect, or your builder to understand your goals and preferences. Whether you bring rough sketches or detailed plans, we translate them into accurate CAD designs, offering suggestions on materials, finishes and structural support where needed.
Once the design is approved, fabrication begins at our Caerphilly workshop. Here, we employ a combination of:
- Laser cutting for precision shaping.
- Bending and folding machinery for structural consistency.
- TIG and MIG welding carried out by coded welders.
- Surface treatments, including powder coating, galvanising and painting for weather resistance and aesthetic finish.
Our trained team then installs the railings, ensuring they are securely mounted, levelled, and meet all structural and safety standards.
Why Invest in Custom Railings?
Off-the-shelf railing systems often fall short regarding both fit and finish. By opting for bespoke railings, you gain a range of benefits:
Made to Measure – Perfectly sized to your space, eliminating awkward gaps or unsafe overhangs.
Improved Aesthetics – Designed to complement the character of your home or building.
Higher Durability – Fabricated using high-grade steel to withstand time, weather, and wear.
Greater Value – Enhances both functionality and kerb appeal, which can improve resale potential.
Full Compliance – Built to meet the latest safety regulations, including BS 6180 for guardrails.
