Decorative Ironmongers & Metalworkers

Finding traditional ironwork and decorative metalwork can sometimes be difficult, particularly if you are looking for items made using traditional methods. However, there are still metalworkers who produce a wide range of decorative and functional metalwork for different applications and interior design projects. Typical products include bathroom accessories, bolts, door knockers, hinges, hooks, kitchen accessories, latches, pull handles, stair fittings, window fittings, gates, fences, guttering, downpipes and staircases.

In many cases, metalworkers can salvage existing metalwork such as guttering and downpipes, renovating and refitting them with new fixings and seals. If the original items are beyond repair or have previously been replaced with plastic, new ironwork can be made to replicate the appearance of the original fittings.

Metalworkers around the UK can also make wrought iron gates and railings to traditional designs, which may then be galvanised and painted to help protect the metal. Another option for period properties is reproduction door furniture. Brass letter plates, knockers and door pulls can be custom-made and fitted to complement the style of the property, with some metals developing a natural patina over time.

Choosing a Metalworker

If you are looking to commission decorative ironwork, it is worth comparing several metalworkers before deciding who to hire. Ask friends, family or neighbours if they have used someone for similar work and whether they would use the same tradesperson again. You can also check customer ratings and reviews where available.

When requesting quotes, be as specific as possible and provide each metalworker with the same detailed brief. Try to get at least three written quotations so you can compare the price, materials, scope of work and estimated timescales on a like-for-like basis.

Ask for a written quotation that includes the expected start and finish dates and agreed payment terms. You can also ask for references and examples of previous work. Avoid paying the full cost of the job in advance. However, if materials need to be purchased before work begins, the metalworker may reasonably request a deposit or payment towards these costs.

Decorative Ironwork Prices

Six-foot lengths of mass-produced iron railings can cost around £60-£200, while gates may start from around £100, depending on the height, material and design. Bespoke railings and gates made to a specific design will usually cost more.

For custom ironwork, you will need to discuss your requirements with local metalworkers to get prices for the work involved. Use the "post your job" button on this page to have metalworkers near you get in contact and provide quotes for your decorative metalwork project.
