FAQ

The questions architects and developers ask most often, with straight answers from the workshop.

01

Do you work to architect's drawings?

Yes. Most projects start from architectural or landscape drawings, which we develop into shop drawings for sign-off. We can also work from a written brief and a site photograph.

02

What materials do you offer?

Powder-coated mild steel and marine-grade aluminium, Corten weathering steel, and brushed stainless. Seat tops in Iroko, Oak or Accoya as standard, with other hardwoods on request.

03

What sizes can you fabricate?

Panel lengths up to three metres in a single piece. Larger runs are formed by joining panels with flush parallel or flanged return joints, designed to allow for expansion and contraction.

04

What is the typical lead time?

Around six to eight weeks from drawing approval to delivery, depending on scheme size and finish. We confirm a date in writing at the order stage.

05

Do you install?

Yes. Our own specialist installers fit schemes nationwide, or we can supply only for the main contractor to fix. Method statements and RAMS provided on request.

06

Is there a warranty?

Ten-year structural warranty on the fabrication. Finishes carry the relevant PPC or coating warranty (typically 15-25 years for marine-grade PPC).
