Balconies
We design and install custom balconies combining aesthetic appeal with structural integrity. Our solutions incorporate non-combustible materials meeting current fire regulations while offering slip-resistant surfaces. Each project benefits from factory-controlled quality checks and precision engineering, ensuring both safety and visual appeal for residential and commercial buildings.
Balcony Decking Replacement
Our fire-compliant decking replacement service addresses post-Grenfell regulatory requirements. We supply and install durable aluminium decking systems that enhance safety while maintaining aesthetic value. The process includes structural assessment, material selection, and professional installation to ensure long-term performance and regulatory compliance for high-rise developments.
Balustrades
We create custom balustrades using steel, stainless steel, and glass materials. Our designs balance safety requirements with architectural vision, offering options from traditional vertical bars to contemporary glass panels. Each installation undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure structural integrity while maintaining visual appeal across residential and commercial applications.
Staircases
Our staircase solutions range from spiral designs to fire escapes, all meeting British Standards. We provide complete engineering drawings and 3D models to visualise final outcomes before fabrication. Each staircase undergoes quality checks during manufacturing and installation, ensuring both functional safety and aesthetic alignment with architectural specifications.
Secondary Metalwork
We manufacture essential metal components including access stairs, guardrails, and plant platforms. Our in-house fabrication ensures dimensional accuracy and material consistency across projects. These functional elements maintain the same quality standards as our visible architectural features, providing comprehensive metalwork solutions for complete building projects.
