Made-to-measure iron and metal railings for front gardens, boundaries and steps in Bournemouth.
A run of railings can tidy up a front garden, mark the edge of a car park or make a set of steps safer to use. Heritage Gates & Railings makes railings in a wide range of styles for houses, flats and business premises across Bournemouth, including Westbourne, Boscombe, Southbourne and Kinson.
We measure the wall or ground where the railings will go, agree the design with you and manufacture everything to fit. All our railings are designed and constructed in Britain, using quality metals for a long-lasting finish. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee on labour and parts, and we can come back to service or repair them later. We also make handrails for steps and grab rails for anyone who needs extra support.
Traditional iron railings suit the Victorian and Edwardian terraces found across much of Bournemouth. Finials, twisted collars and gilded tips can be added to echo period features, or the bars can be left plain. We make them to sit on a dwarf wall or fix directly into the ground. Where a wall has lost its old railings, we can design a replacement run that suits the age of the house.
Steel railings give a crisper, more contemporary line, ideal for new builds and apartment blocks. We tailor the height, spacing and top detail to your property and finish them in the colour you choose. Stainless steel is also available where you want a modern look beside glass or render. Steel railings can also be fitted to balconies and raised patios where a safe edge is needed.
Many clients want railings and a gate to match. We design both together so the bar spacing, finials and colour line up, whether that is a small pedestrian gate to a front door or a pair of driveway gates set into a longer boundary. We can also make the gate slightly taller than the railings, or add a lock or latch to suit how it will be used.
From the pier approach to the northern suburbs, we cover every part of Bournemouth for railings work. Surveys are arranged at a time that suits you, and on flats and commercial sites we can work with managing agents and builders to fit around other trades. Tell us whether the railings are for a single house or a whole block, and whether you already have a style in mind, and we'll come prepared with ideas that suit.
Neighbourhoods we serve include:
Seen up close, each bar on these railings carries a gold fleur-de-lis on top and a twisted gold collar halfway down. The rails are fixed to a brick dwarf wall with a sturdy post at the corner, and the gilding catches the light against the red block paving behind.
A long curve of brick wall carries these black railings round the edge of a raised garden. The bars step up where the ground rises, and the planting behind stays visible through them. Small lights are set into the brickwork just below the coping.
Running beside a block-paved path, this line of black railings separates the front gardens from the walkway. Ball-topped posts hold each section, and twisted bars break up the run at intervals. The railings are set low, keeping the planting behind in view.
Turning a corner on top of a low brick wall, these railings keep the same height all the way round. A post with a ball finial marks the change of direction. Pine trees and shrubs behind show through the plain bars, so the garden still feels open.
Salt spray reaches further inland than many people expect, and exposed metalwork benefits from a suitable finish and a regular rinse. For railings on the front of a property in a conservation area, BCP Council may have views on style and height, so it is worth checking before work starts. Where railings run along a pavement, we plan the fitting so the path stays safe for passers-by. If old railings need removing first, we'll include that in the plan.
