When Balustrades Need Attention
There are several common issues with balustrades that may require professional attention. From rust and corrosion to aesthetic and structural concerns, here are some signs that your balustrades need repair or replacement:
Rust, Corrosion, or Deterioration
Metal balustrades are highly susceptible to rust and corrosion, particularly in coastal or humid environments. Rust compromises the structural integrity of the balustrade, potentially leading to dangerous situations. Our team offers expert corrosion treatment and repair to restore the strength of your balustrades and ensure they meet safety standards.
Non-Compliant Heights or Spacing
Building regulations specify the required height and spacing for balustrades to ensure safety, especially in public or multi-unit buildings. Non-compliant balustrades can pose safety hazards, which is why we carefully assess existing balustrades to ensure they meet all regulatory requirements. If needed, we make modifications or replacements to bring your property into full compliance.
Visual or Structural Upgrades
In addition to damage, sometimes balustrades need attention for aesthetic or structural reasons. Whether you wish to enhance the look of your balustrades or improve their structural integrity, ATCO Projects provides custom solutions to meet your needs. We offer a variety of materials and finishes to suit the design and style of your property.
Types of Balustrade Work
We provide a range of balustrade services to suit various property needs. Whether you need repairs or complete replacements, ATCO Projects ensures that each project is completed with the highest level of craftsmanship.
Full Balustrade Replacement
If your balustrades have reached the end of their lifespan or sustained significant damage, a full replacement may be necessary. Our team provides complete balustrade replacement services, ensuring the new balustrades are structurally sound, visually appealing, and fully compliant with current safety standards. We use high-quality materials to ensure durability and long-lasting results.
Partial Repairs and Strengthening
For balustrades that are generally in good condition but need minor repairs, partial repairs can offer a cost-effective solution. This can include fixing rust spots, replacing cracked panels, or tightening loose fittings. Our team also strengthens balustrades to improve their structural integrity, extending their lifespan and ensuring they remain safe and functional.
Custom Work for Stairs or Terraces
Balustrades can be customised to fit a variety of spaces, including stairways, balconies, terraces, and more. We offer tailored balustrade designs to suit the unique layout and design preferences of your property. Whether you’re looking for elegant glass balustrades, traditional timber, or sleek metal finishes, we can provide a custom solution that meets your aesthetic and functional needs.
