Metalwork for homes in Highlands
It is known for Arts and Crafts era homes from the 1910s, along with later bungalows.
Older homes often have original wrought-iron railings and gates that can be repaired and refinished rather than replaced, and front steps that need a sturdier handrail.
Sloped yards near the valley often need solid railings on outdoor stairs and retaining walls.
Back-lane gates beside a detached garage are a common spot for a custom metal gate.
Stairs into an unfinished basement often have no proper handrail, a quick fix for a metalworker.
