Gates, Railings & Access
Hamilton’s Solution:
Hamilton worked closely with schools and private clients to design and fabricate gates and railings that are both safe and visually distinctive. For schools, they provided bow-top railings and gates with anti-climb designs, fabricated in mild steel and powder-coated in bright school colours like blue and green. Decorative flourishes were added where desired, using pre-formed elements and hand-welded detailing.
For residential clients, Hamilton delivered bespoke stair railings and boundary fences, some with integrated postboxes and curved bar features. Decorative scroll gates were assembled using sourced scrollwork, cut-to-fit panels, and professional finish treatments.
In commercial settings like Liverpool’s Hope Street, Hamilton installed steel handrails and balustrades designed for public-facing environments. They also supported bar refurbishments with custom curved or angled handrail designs.
Project Types Included:
- Bow-top safety railings and entrance gates for schools
- Scrollwork and ornamental gates for private homes
- Custom stair railings and access balustrades
- Built-in postbox railings for residential clients
- Handrails for bars, public staircases, and commercial entries
- Powder-coated and galvanised finishes in client-specified colours
