Frequently Asked Questions

What spindle or bar spacing options are available for steel railings?

Spacing can be adjusted to suit your requirements. Standard and closer infill options are available depending on the look, security level, and any applicable building regulation guidance for your project. Contact us to discuss specific spacing measurements for your panels.

What panel heights do you supply for boundary railings?

Railing panels are made to measure, so heights are customised to your site rather than limited to a fixed set of sizes. Common boundary heights are available, and we will confirm exact dimensions with you before production.

Can railings be made to follow a slope or steps?

Yes. Panels can be raked or stepped to follow gradients, staircases, or uneven ground. We typically ask for site measurements or a drawing showing the change in level so the panels can be produced to match the run correctly.

Can railings be fitted between existing posts or walls?

Often yes. If you have existing sound posts or walls, we can discuss whether they are suitable to receive new railing panels. We will confirm fixing positions and panel dimensions against your existing structure before production.

How do railings integrate with a matching gate?

Railing panels and gates can be manufactured as a coordinated set, using the same bar profile, spacing, and finish. Gate posts can be incorporated into the railing run so the overall boundary reads as one continuous line.

Can railing panels be joined to existing fencing of a different type?

Yes, in many cases. We can produce panels to meet existing fence lines or other boundary treatments. Fixing details and transition points are confirmed during the drawing approval stage before production begins.

What finish is applied to steel railings?

The standard finish is a galvanised undercoat with a powder-coated colour applied over it. Standard colour is black, with other RAL colours available on request. Popular alternatives include anthracite grey and matt black.

How are steel railing panels fixed in place?

Fixing method depends on what the railings are being installed onto or into. Common methods include bolting to walls, surface-mounting onto existing hardstanding, or setting posts into the ground. We will confirm the most suitable approach for your site before production.

Do I need planning permission for boundary railings?

Planning rules for boundary railings depend on factors such as height, location, and whether the property is listed or in a conservation area. We recommend checking with your local planning authority before ordering.

Are steel railings suitable for exposed or coastal locations?

Steel railings can be supplied for exposed locations. Coastal or highly exposed sites may benefit from specific design or finish considerations, so contact us with details of your site so we can advise on the most suitable specification.
