About Metalworker
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.
Welds, screws or rivets: what to choose
Welds give the strongest joint but need a clean surface and skilled hands. Screws and bolts allow future disassembly and are easier to inspect or replace. Rivets are cheap and fast for thin sheets but cannot be removed without drilling. For a balcony railing or a load-bearing frame, welding or bolting is standard. Ask the metalworker which method fits your case and why.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 measurements are taken
The metalworker measures the opening, checks the walls or floor for level, and notes any slope or obstacle. They record the exact width, height and diagonal, because a 5 mm error on a 2 m span is visible. For stairs they measure each step and the total rise. Good practice is a written sketch with all numbers signed by both sides before fabrication starts.
