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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
