Metalwork for homes in Ottewell
Most houses are 1950s and 60s bungalows on generous lots, many with original detached garages.
Mid-century homes often have steel railings on front steps that are rusting at the base, so welding repairs or new aluminum railings are common.
Back-lane gates beside a detached garage are a common spot for a custom metal gate.
Separate suite entrances often need railings on outdoor stairs and landings.
