    Double gate supply and fit

    Posted 30 January

    From the on site survey with a few practical suggestions to the final clear away, very satisfied with the supply and fit of my new double gates; metal post/frame/composite board infill and marine grade fittings. Day 1; Old gates and framing removed, site made good with removal of existing concrete post and new posts aligned and concreted in. Day 2; Delivery and fitting of new gates, all debris removed and site left tidy despite the my own work in progress in the area! Would consider this company for future work or to recommend. Great team, thank y'all.

    Excellent standard of workmanship, good service and value for money

    Posted 11 January

    We commissioned the Local Wrought Iron Company to build us a new balustrade for our balcony. Jim responded to our enquiry very promptly and arranged to carry out a site visit. Jim was very friendly, courteous and made some good suggestions for our project. The standard of workmanship was excellent, the installation went very smoothy and we are extremely pleased with the finished product. We would recommend the Local Wrought Iron Company highly and would definitely consider them again in the future.

    The Local Wrought Iron Company designed & fitted bespoke gates for our outbuilding. The workmanship was very professional, the person who fitted the gates was a very efficient and tidy worker. Would certainly use them again.

Hello, I’m Jim Wallace, founder of The Local Wrought Iron Company Ltd.


We specialize in the design, manufacture, and installation of bespoke metal gates, balustrades, handrails, and railings for private homes.


All of our work is made to measure and fabricated to order, with projects typically involving new installations rather than small repairs or alterations.


With over 25 years of experience in metal fabrication, I oversee each project from the initial visit through to installation, supported by a small, trusted team.


Every piece is hot-dip galvanized and powder-coated as standard to ensure long-term durability.


We work across Hampshire, West Sussex, Surrey, and surrounding counties, delivering carefully built, properly installed metalwork designed to last.


Please note:

We specialize in full installations and bespoke projects.

We do not undertake small welding repairs, rust patching, or alterations to off-the-shelf products.


If you’re considering a new gate, balustrade, or handrail installation and would like an initial guide price, feel free to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Jim
