Wrought iron railing repair
A loose post, a broken weld or a rusted section doesn't always mean a new railing. Richard checks how far the damage goes and tells you what can be saved. If a section is rusted through, he cuts it out and welds in a new one to match the rest.
Start with a photo of the whole railing and a close-up of the damage. Include your city when you request a free estimate.
Common questions
- Can you fit a handrail to my existing steps?
- Yes. The rail is made to fit the steps you have, with the posts anchored where they'll hold. The steps stay as they are.
- Wrought iron, steel or aluminum: which should I pick?
- Wrought iron is the heaviest and gives the traditional look. Most plain handrails are made from steel. Aluminum is the light one that doesn't rust. Richard will show you what each looks like when he comes to measure.
- What if my railing needs a permit or inspection?
- Tell Richard before the work is booked. If you've been given plans or a written spec, send them with your estimate request and he'll work to them.
