Balustrades in Mayfield

Yes, restoring and repairing decorative wrought and cast iron is regular work for us in Mayfield's older streets. We assess the condition of the existing ironwork, repair what can be saved, and where sections are beyond restoration we sympathetically replace them to match the original as closely as the job allows. We are honest that iron needs its protective coating maintained over time, especially the closer a home sits to salt air. We talk through the options at the free measure.

Yes, a lot of Mayfield work is new balustrades for renovated homes that need to meet current standards, often ahead of a council or certifier inspection. We build new stair, deck and balcony balustrades to the relevant barrier heights and structural loads in the Australian Standards, and to AS 1288 where glass is involved. We size fixings to the substrate we are fixing into, whether that is timber, concrete or steel. The free measure is where we scope what your renovation needs.

It depends on the condition of the timber and the structure, and we give you an honest assessment rather than pushing one way. Where a Mayfield staircase is structurally sound, restoration and a new compliant balustrade can keep the character while making it safe. Where the treads or stringers have deteriorated, a new stair is usually the better long-term investment. We build the stairs themselves as well as the balustrade, so either path is covered.

We use toughened (grade A safety) glass or laminated glass, specified by the system and the situation, and we work to AS 1288 for glass in buildings. Frameless suits an unbroken outlook and the highest spec, semi-frameless adds posts for value, and framed is the most economical. On a Mayfield renovation we match the glass system to the look you want and the barrier requirements. We confirm the right specification at the measure.

Yes, every Mayfield quote is fixed and itemised for the scope we measure, so restoration and new work are both clearly priced. Any variation you request later is agreed in writing before we act on it. The accurate figure comes from the free on-site measure, because price depends on the material, the system, the run length and the fixing. Call Steve on 0407 204 572 to book a visit.

Yes, we are fully insured with $20 million public liability, which matters on older homes where existing structure needs care. Steve and his own experienced team handle both the assessment and the work, so there is continuity from measure to install. We build to the relevant Australian Standards and the NCC and agree any variations in writing. You can reach us on 0407 204 572 to arrange a no-obligation measure.
