Balconies
We design and install custom balconies using non-combustible materials that comply with current building regulations. Our solutions combine safety with aesthetic appeal, offering options like slip-resistant aluminium decking and modern minimalist designs. Each project undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure durability and structural integrity.
Balcony Decking Replacement
Our fire-safe aluminium decking replaces outdated timber or composite systems, meeting post-Grenfell EWS1 requirements. The material offers slip resistance, durability, and easy installation while maintaining legal compliance for high-rise buildings. We handle full replacements with minimal disruption to residents.
Balustrades
We create tailored balustrade systems using glass, steel, or stainless steel to enhance architectural aesthetics. Options include vertical bars, mesh, and decorative designs that comply with safety standards for residential and commercial properties. Each installation ensures structural reliability and visual appeal.
Staircases
Our staircases range from spiral and helical designs to fire escapes, all built to British Standards. We incorporate security features and durable finishes while maintaining compliance with building regulations. Projects include detailed 3D modelling for precise visualisation and execution.
Secondary Metalwork
We supply and install secondary elements like fire escapes, guardrails, and access stairs. These functional components are manufactured to the same high standards as our architectural pieces, ensuring consistency across projects. Our in-house fabrication guarantees precision and timely delivery.
