Bespoke Steel Balustrades & Handrails in Hampshire, Dorset and west sussex
Bespoke Steel Balustrades and Handrails
Whether you need a simple handrail for your front steps or a fully compliant balustrade for a raised patio, choosing the right company is about more than appearance. Your new metalwork should keep your family safe, complement your property and continue looking exceptional for many years to come.
At The Local Wrought Iron Company, we manufacture bespoke steel balustrades and handrails from our workshop in Fareham. Every project is made to measure, built using quality steel, hot-dip galvanised for long-term corrosion protection and professionally powder-coated before installation.
We have developed a considered range of balustrades. This allows us to provide accurate guide prices quickly while maintaining the craftsmanship and attention to detail we're known for.
If you're simply looking for the cheapest option available, we're probably not the right company.
Our balustrades and handrails are best suited to homeowners who value craftsmanship, longevity and a straightforward buying experience.
Choose Your Style
The Wickham Balustrade
A timeless design that suits almost every property.
The Wickham is our most popular balustrade. Its clean lines and understated detailing make it equally at home on modern properties, period homes and everything in between.
Simple enough to complement the architecture without dominating it, the Wickham is the ideal choice for homeowners looking for an elegant, long-lasting solution.
Ideal for:
- Patios and terraces
- Garden steps
- Raised decking
- Retaining walls
- General safety balustrades
Guide Price
From £400 per metre (including VAT)
Installation is quoted separately depending on location and site requirements.
The Hambledon Balustrade
Elegant curved bars for a more decorative appearance.
The Hambledon takes everything customers love about the Wickham and introduces gently bowed vertical bars to create a softer, more architectural appearance.
It provides a more bespoke feel without becoming overly ornate, making it particularly suited to larger properties and feature terraces.
Ideal for:
- Larger patios
- Feature terraces
- Period homes
- Premium new builds
Guide Price
From £500 per metre (including VAT)
Installation is quoted separately depending on location and site requirements.
The Lyndhurst Balustrade
Traditional wrought iron craftsmanship for homes that deserve something special.
The Lyndhurst is our premium balustrade collection, featuring handcrafted scrollwork and decorative detailing that transforms the balustrade into a feature in its own right.
Designed for customers who appreciate traditional craftsmanship, the Arundel creates an impressive focal point while still providing the strength and safety expected from a modern steel balustrade.
Guide Price
From £800 per metre (including VAT)
Installation is quoted separately depending on location and site requirements.
Bespoke Steel Handrails
Not every project requires a full balustrade.
Many homeowners need a safe, attractive handrail to provide additional support on steps, sloping pathways or around the home.
We manufacture bespoke steel handrails using the same high standards of craftsmanship as our balustrade collections. Every handrail is made specifically for your property, ensuring the correct height, length and fixing method for a safe, solid installation.
Unlike many off-the-shelf handrails, ours are individually manufactured in our Fareham workshop before being hot-dip galvanised and professionally powder-coated for long-term durability.
Whether you're replacing an ageing timber handrail or installing one for the first time, our aim is simple; to create something that looks right, feels solid and will continue performing for many years to come.
Choose Your Handrail Finish
Our handrails are based on the same clean, timeless styling as our Wickham Balustrade and are available with three different end details.
Ball Top
A traditional and understated finish that suits almost every property.
Shepherd's Crook
A classic curved end detail inspired by traditional wrought iron handrails.
Swept Return
A longer flowing return that follows the line of the handrail back towards the ground, creating a clean, contemporary appearance.
Typical Applications
Our bespoke handrails are commonly installed for:
- Front door steps
- Garden steps
- Sloping pathways
- Side access
- Patios and terraces
- Additional support around the home
Guide Prices
Handrail projects typically start from £1,200 including VAT.
Additional lengths are generally priced from £400 per metre.
Installation is quoted separately depending on location, access and fixing requirements.
Built To Last
We believe bespoke metalwork should be an investment that lasts for decades, not something that requires regular maintenance or early replacement.
Every balustrade and handrail we manufacture is built using quality steel, hot-dip galvanised before powder coating, protecting the steel both inside and out against corrosion.
This combination provides exceptional long-term durability and helps ensure your investment continues looking its best for many years to come.
Designed with Safety in Mind
Every project is designed with safety as the starting point.
Where Building Regulations apply, we manufacture our balustrades to meet the relevant requirements for height, spacing and structural performance.
Compliance is considered from the beginning of every project, not treated as an afterthought.
