About Metalworker
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.
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.
What changes the price
Final cost depends on material type, total weight, finish complexity and access difficulty. Powder coating, hot dip galvanizing and decorative iron work push prices up. Replacing a simple grille is cheaper than fabricating a motorized driveway gate, which also needs electrical work by a separate professional.
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.
What to ask before hiring
Ask for a written quote that lists labour, material, finish and transport separately. Ask whether old metal will be removed and disposed of. Request photos of similar past jobs. Confirm the warranty period, usually 1 to 3 years on welds and finish, and ask how service calls are handled.
How measurements are done
The metalworker should visit the site, measure the opening and check for plumb and level. Wall openings are rarely square, so each piece is often built from a physical template. Ask if the quote includes a site visit, or if measurements will be taken from your drawings and photos only.
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.
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.
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.
Welds, screws or rivets
Ask which joining method the worker plans to use. TIG welds look neat on stainless steel. MIG welds are common on mild steel. Screws and rivets allow future disassembly, which matters for gates and removable panels. A bad weld is porous, full of spatter or leaves the metal distorted, so ask to see a sample.
