About Metalworker
Materials and thickness explained simply
Most home metalwork uses mild steel from 2 mm to 6 mm thick, stainless steel from 1.5 mm to 4 mm, or aluminum from 2 mm to 5 mm. Thicker plate costs more, weighs more and may need stronger anchors. Stainless and aluminum resist rust but cost 2 to 4 times more than painted mild steel. Ask which material matches your location, humidity and budget.
What changes the final price
Price rises with material thickness, with stainless or aluminum instead of mild steel, and with custom patterns instead of straight bars. On-site installation, especially at height or with drilling into concrete, adds labor hours. Powder coating, galvanizing and motorized gates add real cost. Emergency calls, weekend work and difficult access can each add a meaningful percentage to the bill.
Paint and rust protection
Surface preparation matters as much as the paint itself. Expect sandblasting or at least thorough sanding, then an anti rust primer, then a finishing coat. Powder coating lasts longer than liquid paint on outdoor pieces. Ask which system the worker uses and how many coats are included in the quote.
Safety and code basics
Stair railings should be at least 90cm high with vertical bars no more than 10cm apart, so small children cannot pass through. Outdoor metal near the ground needs drainage holes to prevent water pooling. Ask whether your local code requires a licensed installer for structural balcony work.
Paint, primer and rust protection
Bare steel will rust within weeks outdoors. A proper job includes sandblasting or grinding, an anti-rust primer, then a topcoat of enamel or epoxy paint. Powder coating is a stronger factory finish that lasts 10 to 15 years and resists scratches better. Galvanizing dips the steel in zinc and is the best option for ground contact or coastal air.
Care and maintenance after installation
Wipe metal pieces with a soft cloth every 2 to 3 months to remove dust and salt. Inspect welds and screws once a year and touch up any chipped paint right away with anti-rust paint to stop corrosion. Lubricate hinges and locks every 6 months. Avoid pressure washing painted steel, because water can force its way under the coating and start hidden rust.
How long the job takes
A single window grille takes 1 to 3 days including measurement, fabrication and installation. A standard security door is usually 3 to 7 days. Custom railings with on site fitting run 1 to 2 weeks. Delays usually come from welding inspection, galvanizing time or waiting on a special finish.
Care after installation
Wipe down metal surfaces every 2 to 3 months with a mild soap and a soft cloth. Lubricate hinges and locks with a silicone spray twice a year. Touch up paint chips as soon as they appear to stop rust from spreading. Avoid harsh chemicals and steel wool, which damage the protective finish.
How long the job takes
A small repair or a short weld can be done in 1 to 2 hours on site. A single grille or railing usually needs 3 to 5 days: 1 day to measure, 2 to 3 days to fabricate in the shop, then half a day to install and paint. Custom gates with automation can take 2 to 4 weeks because of motors and waiting time for parts.
What a metalworker does
A metalworker makes and fixes parts in iron, stainless steel and aluminium. Common home jobs include window grilles, security doors, stair railings, gates and small structural frames. They cut, weld, grind and finish metal pieces to fit a specific space. Most residential work happens on site or in a small workshop.
