Bespoke Metal Railings
Handmade metal railings for balconies, verandas, platforms and walls across Hampshire and Wiltshire. Bespoke design, fabrication and installation.
Handmade Metal Railings for Your Property
Weld It designs, makes and fits bespoke metal railings for homes and commercial properties across Hampshire, Wiltshire and the South of England. Our work includes balcony and veranda railings, platform railings and wall-top metalwork, with each section handmade to suit its position.
We can develop a simple, understated design or incorporate ornamental details to complement your property. You work directly with your fabricator from the first discussion through to installation, with the dimensions, materials and finish agreed for your project.
Railings Made to Measure
The position and purpose of your railings shape the design. We make short and tall sections, from decorative wall-top panels to railings around raised areas.
Balcony Railings
Made-to-measure metal railings for balconies, with the layout developed around the space and the building. We consider the required design specification alongside the appearance of the metalwork.
Veranda Railings
Railings to define the edge of a veranda and complement its supporting posts and surrounding architecture. Sections can be designed around entrances and changes in direction.
Platform Railings
Railings for raised platforms at domestic and commercial properties. The layout needs to account for access points, the supporting structure and how the area will be used.
Wall-Top Railings
Metal railings fitted above boundary or garden walls. We consider the width and condition of the wall, the fixing arrangement and how the railings will sit between any piers.
Decorative Railings
Ornamental metalwork with details such as scrolls, finials and shaped panels. Bring a reference photograph or discuss a design that relates to other features on your property.
Traditional and Period Designs
Railings with proportions and detailing suited to older buildings. We can discuss matching the character of existing ironwork or developing a design for a period setting.
Have a location in mind? Send us photographs of the area, approximate measurements and any examples of railings you like.
Discuss Your RailingsMaterials and Finishes
The material and finish influence the appearance of the railings and the care they need. We discuss the options with you, taking account of the location and the style of the property.
Mild Steel
Mild steel can be fabricated into simple railing panels or more detailed designs. The choice of sections and protective finish will depend on the intended use and setting.
Simple or detailedDecorative Metalwork
Traditional wrought iron-style detailing can be incorporated into bespoke railings. We discuss the actual material specification as well as the appearance, particularly where new work sits beside older ironwork.
Traditional stylingGalvanising
Galvanising is one of the protective treatments available for exterior steelwork. It can be considered as part of the finish specification for railings exposed to the weather.
Exterior protectionPaint and Powder Coating
Powder coating and hand painting offer options for the colour and appearance of the finished railings. Surface preparation and any protective treatment are discussed alongside the chosen finish.
Colour optionsDesigning Your Railings
A railing needs to suit the space it encloses and the surface it fixes to. We work through these details with you before making the metalwork.
Height and Proportions
The height and spacing of the metalwork need to suit its purpose. We discuss the project requirements during design, particularly where railings enclose a balcony or other raised area.
Posts and Fixings
The supporting surface is part of the design. Photographs and a site visit help us assess the proposed fixing locations and identify details that need resolving before fabrication.
Corners and Changes in Level
A run of railings may need to turn a corner or follow a stepped wall. Measuring the whole area helps establish how the panels and posts will meet at these points.
Decorative Details
The shape of the bars, top rail and ornamental details affects how the finished railings look. We can work from reference images or develop the details with you.
Existing Metalwork
If you are keeping some original railings, we can discuss how new sections might sit alongside them. We also assess traditional and heritage metalwork for repair and refurbishment.
Access and Installation
We plan delivery and fitting around the property. Let us know about restricted access, occupied areas or other building work so the installation arrangements can be considered early.
How It Works
We take your project from the initial site visit through workshop fabrication to fitting the finished railings.
-
Design and Site Visit
We visit the property, take measurements and discuss what you need. Plans and reference photographs help us work through the position and style of the railings.
-
Planning and Materials
We establish the materials, components and fabrication approach, with the fixing details and finish considered before the metalwork is made.
-
Fabrication
Your railing sections are handmade in the workshop to the agreed design and dimensions.
-
Treatment and Finishing
The metalwork receives the specified treatment and finish, such as galvanising, powder coating or hand painting.
-
Delivery and Installation
We arrange a suitable date to deliver and fit the railings, taking account of the site and the agreed installation details.

Metal Railing FAQs
Useful information if you are planning new railings or looking at existing metalwork that needs attention.
How much do bespoke metal railings cost?
The cost depends on the length and height of the run, the design, the material and finish, and the fitting requirements. Decorative details and changes in level also affect the fabrication work. Send us photographs and approximate dimensions so we can discuss the project and arrange an assessment.
Can you match existing railings?
We can discuss a design that complements your existing metalwork. Clear photographs of the full run and close-ups of the bars, posts and decorative details are helpful. A site visit allows us to look more closely at the dimensions and how new sections could be fitted.
Can railings be fitted on top of a wall?
Yes, wall-top railings are part of our work. The proposed wall needs to be assessed as part of the project so the fixing arrangement suits the structure. Send us photographs of the wall, including its top and any piers, when you enquire.
Do you repair or refurbish old railings?
We carry out repairs and refurbishment of traditional and heritage metalwork. The options depend on its condition and how much original material can be retained. Send photographs of the railings and any damaged areas so we can discuss an assessment.
