The Steel Doctors 

Serving the borough’s elegant streets and riverside homes, we expertly restore and repair wrought iron gates, steel railings, balcony balustrades, and ornamental metalwork. From grand Victorian and Edwardian properties in Richmond, Kew, and Twickenham to stylish modern residences in Barnes, Mortlake, and Ham, our skilled team delivers precision repairs that enhance both security and kerb appeal.

We understand the unique character of Richmond upon Thames. The borough’s mix of historic architecture, leafy suburbs, and proximity to the Thames brings specific challenges from damp riverside corrosion to the need for sympathetic restoration that preserves original period details. Our experienced steel fabricators and welders combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques to ensure repairs are not only strong and durable but also visually seamless.

The Steel Doctors offer a comprehensive range of gate and railing services, including:

• Professional welding and structural repairs to damaged or sagging gates

• Complete rust removal, surface preparation, and high-end painting or powder-coating finishes

• Security enhancements and reinforcement of existing railings and gates

• Restoration of ornate wrought ironwork and balcony balustrades

• Automated gate mechanism repairs and maintenance

• Custom fabrication to match or complement original designs

• Hinge replacement, realignment, and full gate overhauls

Every project starts with a detailed, no-obligation survey and a clear, transparent quotation.
