Over the years we have been in business, Woodford Gated Ltd has become a name associated with high-quality metal gates, railings, and balustrades. While this certainly makes up the lion’s share of our work in Chigwell and the broader Essex area, our team of skilled fabricators can turn their hand to a wide range of other ironwork solutions.
From precision engineering parts to massive architectural steelwork installations, we have the skills, tools, and expertise to get the job done.
Over the years, we have built a reputation for excellence that few other gates and railings firms can match. It is a reputation we worked hard to create and one that we work even harder to keep. We invite any prospective customers to search for reviews online to see what our clients have to say.
Adding a balcony to your property is an excellent way to bridge the gap between your indoor living space and the fresh Essex air. We design custom-made metal balconies that provide a safe, durable, and stylish vantage point, while meeting all current building regulations. While they look delicate and ornamental, our range of bespoke balconies possess the strength required for total peace of mind.
Ideal for upper-floor French doors where a full platform isn’t possible, our Juliet balconies provide a secure barrier that allows you to open your rooms to the outside world. These are designed to be low-maintenance and can be finished in a variety of styles to complement your window frames.
If you have sufficient space to accommodate an outdoor seating area, we manufacture full-depth balcony platforms for your comfort and safety. These structures are engineered with heavy-duty steel supports and can be finished with a choice of flooring and decorative balustrading.
If you already have a balcony in place, we can provide the perfect finishing touch, with our range of custom-forged railings. We work with you to choose a design that suits the aesthetic of the balcony itself and the rest of your building, making it a standout feature of your Chigwell property.
Simple, elegant, and incredibly strong, our straight metal staircases are the perfect solution for utility areas, garden access, or modern industrial-style interiors. We can incorporate various grip patterns on the treads to ensure they remain safe to use even in the typical British rain.
While handrails are, of course, a vital safety feature, they also offer a fantastic opportunity to add a touch of personality to your steps and walkways. We install everything from simple, functional rails for elderly residents to intricate, hand-forged masterpieces for local businesses.
We create sleek, decorative handrails for interior stairs that enhance the flow of your home. These can be finished in bespoke powder-coated colours to match your interior décor, providing a tactile and high-quality feel every time you move between floors.
Navigating garden levels or front steps can be a challenge in icy weather. Our external handrails are designed to provide a sturdy point of contact, ensuring that visitors and family members can enter your property safely regardless of the conditions.
For narrow passages or staircases where a full balustrade isn’t necessary, a wall-mounted rail is an elegant solution. We offer a variety of end-cap designs and mounting brackets to ensure the rail fits perfectly into its environment.
Even something as functional as a handrail can be given that extra touch of style and class. If you have a specific vision in mind our fabrication team can bring it to life. We enjoy the challenge of creating one-off pieces that reflect the unique character of our clients’ properties.
We don’t just stop at decorative items and accessories. Our Woodford Green fabrication yard is fully equipped to handle more demanding projects, including structural steelwork and custom metal components for the construction industry. If your project requires a high degree of accuracy, our local team of engineers is perfectly positioned to help.
From flitch beams for home extensions to complex steel frames for outbuildings, we provide the skeletal strength your construction projects require. We ensure all structural work meets the necessary safety standards and is delivered to site ready for a precision fit.
Sometimes a project requires a part that simply doesn’t exist in a catalogue. We can fabricate custom brackets, plates, and fixings to your exact specifications, ensuring that even the smallest details of your build are handled with professional care.
We love collaborating on projects where metal is used as a primary design feature. This includes everything from custom signage frames to decorative cladding supports, helping to give Chigwell’s buildings a unique and high-quality finish.
Beyond the typical metal gates you find on properties across Chigwell, we also manufacture fixed bollards, height restrictors, and security cages for commercial premises. These structures are built to be incredibly tough, providing an extra layer of protection for your assets and your people.
Wrought ironwork is built to last, but even the most robust installation requires a bit of care and attention from time to time. We offer a comprehensive repair and maintenance service to help restore tired or damaged metalwork to its former glory. Whether your ironwork has been damaged in a collision, or is simply showing the tell-tale signs of rust, we can handle it.
The mechanical components of a sliding gate require regular attention to ensure they operate smoothly and safely. We can replace worn rollers, realign tracks, and service the motors to prevent that unpleasant grinding that so often precedes a total breakdown of the mechanism.
While wrought ironwork is built to last decades with care, some Chigwell properties have iron features that are much older than that. Our team can carefully strip back years of old paint and grime, before applying modern protective coatings that mimic traditional finishes, giving your antique metalwork a fresh lease of life.
We provide on-site welding services to repair fractured joints or replace damaged sections of railings and gates, ensuring the structural integrity of your boundary is quickly restored. In extreme cases, we may need to remove a section of ironwork to our fabrication yard, to give it the attention it deserves.
We use high-quality rust inhibitors and professional re-finishing techniques to stop corrosion in its tracks.
A fresh powder coat or a professional paint job can add years to your ironwork’s lifespan, while also making it more pleasing to look at.
While this page is intended to highlight our alternative services, the core of our business remains high-quality metal gates and railings. Every piece of metalwork we produce is made to order, meeting the exact measurements of your home or business. We typically install these products ourselves, but we are happy to supply only, if you want to fit your gates and railings yourself.
Even on a street of identical-looking houses, every gate opening is unique. At Woodford Gate Ltd, we measure your opening to the millimetre before even looking at the design. This ensures that your new gate fits perfectly, with no unsightly gaps or other security risks.
Since we fabricate all our gates and railings at our own in-house facility, we can easily produce replicas of your existing ironwork. After all, why replace an entire set of railings, when it’s only damaged bars that are spoiling the aesthetic? We pay close attention to the spacing of bars and the style of the finials to ensure a perfect match.
We can provide a complete service where we handle everything from the initial site survey and design to the final bolt. If you’d rather handle the installation yourself, we can still handle the heavy fabrication work before delivering the finished product directly to your site for your attention.
