WHAT WE MAKE HERE

Ironwork in Birmingham

Birmingham covers a wide spread of suburbs, from period frontages that suit traditional railings to modern houses and units that want a plain, secure gate and nothing more. In practice most of what we are asked for around Birmingham is driveway gates, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

ASKED AND ANSWERED

Working in Birmingham

What do you make for customers in Birmingham?

Across Birmingham (B1) it is mostly driveway gates, front railings, security gates and grilles for houses and commercial units. Birmingham covers a wide spread of suburbs, from period frontages that suit traditional railings to modern houses and units that want a plain, secure gate and nothing more. Everything is measured on site before anything is cut, because openings around here are almost never the size people expect them to be.

Do you charge extra to come out to Birmingham?

No, the travel is in the price. Birmingham is about 15 km from the workshop on Hayes Lane in Stourbridge, well inside the patch we cover every week. What changes the price is the opening: the width, the height, whether there are posts to hang from and how much detail is in the ironwork.

Do you work in Birmingham regularly?

Yes. Birmingham work is mostly the western side of the city, where a run out from the workshop is straightforward. We are based on Hayes Lane in Stourbridge and cover the Black Country and the West Midlands as standard, so Birmingham is normal week work rather than a special trip.

Does the type of property in Birmingham change the job?

Some, though less than people expect. Property around Birmingham is varied enough that we measure everything on site anyway, and the things that actually change the price are the width of the opening, the height, whether there are posts to hang from and the amount of detail in the ironwork. The style of the house guides what we recommend rather than what it costs.

How long does a gate take from first call to fitting in Birmingham?

Measuring is usually within a few days of the call, and most gates are fabricated and fitted within a few weeks of that. Birmingham is a short run from the workshop, so neither the measuring visit nor the fitting is difficult to arrange. Where steel posts have to be concreted in we let them go off properly before hanging the gates, which can mean coming back a second time.

Can you repair a gate in Birmingham rather than replace it?

Yes, and it is often the right answer. Dropped leaves, worn hinges, posts that have moved and latches that no longer meet are all repairs. Because we fabricate gates ourselves we can put new steel into an old one instead of selling you a new set, and if it genuinely is beyond saving we will tell you that too.

Can you match existing gates or railings in Birmingham?

Usually we can get very close. Send a photo or let us look at what is there and we will match the bar spacing, height and top detail so a replacement section reads as part of the same run. On very old cast work an exact match in fabricated steel is not always possible, and we will show you the difference before you commit rather than after.
