Sparks flying in the workshop
A photo of grinding with sparks, with no recognisable faces or with consent. A strong image that stands out.
Example This is where raw steel becomes a railing. If you ask us, the sparks are the best part of the job. 🔥

The steel staircase in the house
A finished steel staircase, perhaps with wooden treads. Shows that metalwork also works in a living space.
Example Steel stringers, wooden treads, not one railing too many. We planned and built this staircase for exactly this room. #steelstairs #metalwork

The new yard gate
A gate before and after fitting on a house. A big impact on any property.
Example The old gate was rusty and heavy. The new one is galvanised, coated and opens with one hand. #gate

The weld up close
A close-up of a clean weld. Shows craftsmanship to people who know.
Example A beautiful weld is no accident. It shows that someone knows their craft. #welding #metalwork

Galvanised or coated
Two surfaces side by side with a short explanation. Answers a common question.
Example Galvanising protects steel from rust, and a coating on top adds the colour. For outdoor use we usually recommend both together.
- 06
Balcony railing on an old building
A new railing on an old house that matches its style. Shows a feel for architecture.
Example The new railing had to suit the old house and still be safe. So we picked up the shape of the old bars.
- 07
The canopy over the front door
A steel and glass canopy over the entrance. A popular project for homeowners.
Example Never get wet while unlocking the door again. This steel and glass canopy protects the entrance and still lets the light through. #canopy

The workpiece on the bench
A half-finished workpiece on the welding table with tools beside it. Shows the path to the result.
Example You cannot tell yet what it will be. In a few days it will be a spiral staircase for a loft.

Caring for metal outdoors
A tip on caring for coated metal with a photo of a railing. Useful and easy to share.
Example Coated metal outdoors likes a wash with water and a mild cleaner. Small scratches are best touched up straight away, before rust can form.

Apprentice with their first welded piece
An apprentice in a welding helmet, with consent. Speaks to young people.
Example His first weld holds, and it looks good too! Our apprentice has been with us for a few weeks and is learning fast. #apprenticeship #metalwork

Fence with privacy screen
A metal fence with slats or sheet metal panels. Lots of people are looking for garden privacy.
