Steel, Juliet and caravan balconies that add space, light and fresh air to Bournemouth homes.
A balcony can turn a bedroom window into somewhere to enjoy the evening air, or give a park home a sunny place to sit. Heritage Gates & Railings designs and supplies balconies for properties across Bournemouth, including Boscombe, Westbourne, Southbourne and Talbot Woods.
We customise every balcony to the building and to how you want to use it. Steel balconies are durable and cost-effective, Juliet balconies let you open doors fully without a projecting platform, and caravan balconies extend the living space of a static home. All are British designed and built, and each comes with a 12-month guarantee on labour and parts. We also service and repair balconies, including rust damage.
A steel balcony is a durable option that will last for many years, and the flexibility of the metal means we can shape it to your design. Railings, glass panels or a mix of both can form the guarding, depending on the view and the look of the building. Every steel balcony is made to measure, so it fits the opening and the wall it is fixed to.
Often called false balconies, Juliet balconies sit flush to the wall with a safety barrier across the opening. They suit Bournemouth's many flats and upstairs rooms where there is no space for a platform. Planning permission is not typically required, but check with your local authority. The rail is made to the width of your doors and finished to match your windows or other metalwork.
Caravan balconies are fixed additions to the side of static caravans and park homes. We build the platform and railings to fit your plot, with steps and a gate where needed, so you can step straight out from the door. The platform is sized to your plot and built to give a level, dry space outside the door, with room for a chair or two.
We supply and fit balconies in every part of Bournemouth, for single homes and for developments. After a survey to take measurements, we design the balcony with you and agree an installation date. We can also work with builders and architects on new developments where several matching balconies are needed across one building, from the first floor up.
Neighbourhoods we serve include:
Each floor of this apartment building has its own curved balcony, stepping up the corner of the block. Glass panels held by stainless posts keep the view open, and a slim handrail runs along the top. Timber soffits underneath give the balconies a finished look from below.
A pair of doors in this dormer opens behind a black Juliet balcony. The railing is fixed to the brickwork on either side, with plain vertical bars and a top rail at a safe height. It gives the room light and fresh air without a platform sticking out.
Along the full width of this park home, a raised terrace gives space for pots, plants and chairs. Black railings with diamond detail run around the edge, and steps lead down at the far end. A picket fence below separates the terrace from the drive.
Next to the front door of this park home, a raised balcony with black railings looks out over a lawn and a curving path. Steps run down one side with a handrail, and a lantern hangs on the wall above. It turns a small corner into a sunny spot to sit.
Upper floors facing the sea get the full force of the wind, so guarding height and fixings matter as much as appearance. Projecting balconies usually need planning permission and must meet building regulations; BCP Council can confirm what applies to your home. In flats, the freeholder's consent is normally needed for anything fixed to the outside wall. We can advise on guarding heights when we survey, and on how the balcony will be fixed to the type of wall your home has.
