Public sector projects demand reliability. Our team designs, fabricates, and installs railings, staircases, gates, and restoration work that meet safety standards while enhancing the visual appeal of public buildings and spaces. We work with architects, contractors, and local authorities to ensure every project is delivered on time, on budget, and to specification.

Serving the public sector

We handle a wide variety of public sector metalwork projects, including:

  • Perimeter railings and fencing for schools, universities, and healthcare facilities
  • Access solutions such as staircases, ramps, and safety barriers
  • Bespoke gates for secure and controlled entry points
  • Decorative metalwork for parks, civic spaces, and community buildings
  • Heritage restoration of listed buildings, monuments, and public landmarks

Every project is designed to withstand heavy use, changing weather conditions, and the high standards required in public spaces.

We take a structured approach to ensure each project is delivered to the highest standard:

  1. Consultation and site survey – We assess requirements, site conditions, and compliance needs.
  2. Design and specification – Our team creates detailed drawings that balance aesthetics, function, and safety.
  3. Fabrication – Using quality materials, we manufacture railings, gates, staircases, or restoration components in our workshop.
  4. Finishing and protection – Coatings and treatments are applied to ensure long-term durability against weather and wear.
  5. Installation – We work efficiently on site, coordinating with contractors and ensuring minimal disruption to public use.
  6. Ongoing maintenance and restoration – Where required, we provide aftercare and upkeep for long-lasting results.

Many public buildings are historic or listed, requiring sensitive handling. We specialise in the restoration of heritage ironwork, carefully preserving original details while upgrading for safety and performance. Whether repairing a public railing or restoring ornate staircases, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to achieve the best results.

Based in Northern Ireland, we support public sector projects across the UK and Ireland, offering metalwork solutions that combine functionality with quality craftsmanship. From large-scale contracts to one-off restorations, we provide a reliable service trusted by local authorities and public institutions.

  • Proven experience across councils, schools, and healthcare facilities
  • Expertise in both modern fabrication and historic restoration
  • Commitment to safety, compliance, and durability
  • Full project management from design to installation
