Most Estate fencing is painted black but we can use any colour on the RAL paint chart and we have used many colours over the years and would be happy to discuss and advise. In any case, the steel bars are shot blasted and treated with an anti-rust primer before it arrives on site. We then re-prime after welding and spray paint the fence 2 topcoats on site once fitted. Whilst this provides very good anti rust protection please note that paintwork on both wrought iron and mild steel Estate fencing requires maintenance every few years.
Gates
Over 30 years of experience casting, fabricating and installing balconies from giant to Juliet.
Often forming an integral part of a building’s façade, balconies have evolved with architecture over time. We specialise in balcony design and construction whether its cast iron or aluminium replicating patterns which are seen on regency buildings up and down the UK or more contemporary designs. We have worked with architects and private clients alike to achieve some amazing work.
Britannia offers a comprehensive service designing, manufacturing and installing new and replacement balconies and balcony balustrades in cast iron or mild steel. We also offer design, fabrication and installation of first fix supporting steelwork.
We have an extensive collection of existing patterns for cast iron balustrade panels, including many historical patterns from around London and use pattern makers to create new patterns, either matching existing or creating new designs.
We are able to match most existing cast iron balcony balusters from the Edwardian and Victorian era including bowed balusters from Juliet balconies and hold a number of patterns for cast iron balcony treads and landing plates.
FIXINGS
We use various techniques for fixing balconies to buildings, all of which comply with regulations, among these are a range of cast brackets many of which emulate Victorian patterns.
BALLUSTRADE
We have numerous options for balcony balustrades, they can be simple fabricated steel, cast balusters or even fully forged bespoke designs.
HAND RAIL
Our handrails are usually produces from mild steel we have a range of sizes and profiles to choose from as well as finishes.
Elements of our balconies can be anything from cast iron or aluminium to fully forged iron or fabricated steel. Depending on this and the size of the balcony we often fully finish and construct the balcony in our workshop and will deliver and install in one piece. Others may need to be brought in component form and welded/fitted on site. We use a verity of wall fixings which comply with safety regulations depending on what we are fixing to. We have experience fitting to a verity of buildings from historic to modern.
