About Metalworker
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.
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.
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.
When you really need to call one
Call a metalworker when a structural piece is bent, cracked or rusted through, when you need a custom frame no store sells, or when an old weld has failed. Also when you want a security grille, a handrail by code, or a replacement part for a machine. A general handyman is fine for a loose screw, but welding, cutting and load-bearing work belongs to a metalworker.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common problems and warning signs
Watch out for rust appearing within months, which means poor surface prep. Watch out for spatter marks, uneven welds or visible grinding grooves on visible parts. A grille that rattles, a railing that flexes under hand pressure or paint that peels early are all bad signs. If the metalworker refuses to give a written quote or avoids showing past work, look for someone else.
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.
