Get edge protection that also looks right
Measured to the setting
Corners, returns and level changes are built into the fabrication plan from the start.
Fixings considered early
We look at the supporting structure before the metalwork is finalised.
Style to suit the building
Open lines, decorative detail and handrail feel can all be discussed together.
Metalwork that must suit the edge it protects
Balcony railings and balustrades need to look right, feel comfortable in use and suit the edge they are protecting. The setting can make the details fiddly too. Corners, changes in level, returns, existing structure and fixing positions all affect how the metalwork should be designed and fabricated. We take accurate site dimensions and consider height, spacing and the overall look together, so the finished work suits the building rather than appearing as an afterthought.
Some customers want a light, open feel. Others want more presence, decorative steelwork or a handrail that feels substantial in the hand. Those choices need to sit alongside the practical fixing requirements.
The structure and fixing points need close attention
The interface with the supporting structure is often what decides whether a balustrade goes in neatly. We assess the available fixing points, fabricate to the measured setting and fit with care so corners and joins line through properly. Because this is safety-critical metalwork, the design has to suit the specific location and project requirements rather than following a one-size-fits-all template. If you can share photographs, dimensions or plans early, it gives Wingfield Fencing Ltd a far clearer starting point.
Frequently asked questions
Can balcony railings be made to match existing metalwork?
Often they can, or at least take visual cues from what is already there. Photographs and measurements are helpful, because they let us see the current style and how closely the new work needs to sit alongside it while still suiting the setting properly.
What measurements matter for balustrade work?
The overall run, corners, changes in level, likely fixing points and the way the metalwork meets the supporting structure all matter. Accurate dimensions are important here because small errors can affect alignment, fitting and how the finished edge protection performs.
Why is this different from ordinary boundary railings?
Balcony railings and balustrades are protecting a raised edge, so the setting and fixing requirements are different from a boundary run at ground level. That is why we treat them as a separate service with their own measuring and design considerations.
