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.
Common problems and warnings
Warped doors, stiff locks and cracking welds near hinges are the most common complaints. They usually come from undersized frames, missing diagonal braces or welding without preheating thicker steel. A door that scrapes the floor in summer is a sign the frame was not anchored into a solid wall.
When you actually need one
Call a metalworker when a metal piece is bent, rusted through, no longer closing properly or missing altogether. New builds, such as a custom railing or a new service door, also fall under this trade. Painting over rust or forcing a stuck hinge usually delays a needed repair and can make it worse over time.
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.
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.
Materials and thickness
For residential railings, 40mm square or round tubing in 2mm wall thickness is typical. Window grilles often use 12mm or 16mm square bars. Outdoor gates should be hot dip galvanized after welding, then painted. Cheaper cold rolled steel rusts faster outdoors than galvanized or stainless alternatives.
Questions to ask before hiring
Ask if the quote includes measuring, transport, installation and painting. Ask what steel grade and thickness they will use. Ask for the finish type and the warranty in writing. Ask to see a portfolio of similar home jobs. Ask if they carry liability insurance and if their welders are certified. A clear answer to all of these usually means a reliable professional.
What a metalworker actually does at home
A metalworker cuts, shapes, welds and installs steel, aluminum or iron pieces around your home. Common jobs include small gates, window grilles, railings, support frames, brackets and custom shelving. They work from sketches or measurements and often deliver the piece ready to bolt or weld on site. Most residential metalworkers handle repairs too, like a broken hinge or a rusted balcony panel.
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.
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.
