About The Local Wrought Iron Company
The Local Wrought Iron Company designs and produces bespoke wrought iron gates, balustrades, handrails and external metal work for residential properties across the South of England. The business is overseen by Jim Wallace, who is responsible for the design, specification and final approval of every project.
While fabrication and installation are carried out by a small, experienced team, Jim remains closely involved throughout; from initial site visits and technical decisions, through to final quality checks before installation. This approach ensures that every piece meets a consistent standard, regardless of project size.
A Deliberately Small, Controlled Operation
We deliberately keep the business small.
This allows us to:
- Maintain control over design and detailing
- Ensure work is manufactured to specification
- Carry out proper checks before installation
- Makes sensible adjustments on site where required
Quality isn't left to chance or delegated without oversight. Every project follows the same process, with clear expectations at each stage.
How We Maintain Consistent Quality
Good workmanship is the result of systems, not luck.
Each project is:
Assessed on-site before design begins
Designed to suit a property and comply with regulations
Manufactured to define tolerances
Checked for fit, finish and operation for installation
All finished work is reviewed and approved by Jim Wallace before installation.
This process reduces the risk of issues, avoids unnecessary revisions, and results in work that functions properly and lasts.
Our Approach
We focus on work that is:
Structurally sound
Well-proportioned
Practical to use every day
Finished to age well over time
We avoid unnecessary complications and refrain from cutting corners to save time. If something isn't right, it is corrected before it leaves the workshop.
This approach suits clients who value quality, longevity and a job done the first time properly.
Who We Are Best Suited For
Our work is best suited for homeowners who:
Want a permanent solution rather than a quick fix
Appreciate skilled workmanship and attention to detail
Prefer dealing directly with people who take responsibility
Our work is not aimed at price-led decisions. It’s aimed at clients who want to avoid problems later by getting it right from the outset.
