Handrails

Handrail and side gate fitted in Wadhurst High Street in East Sussex. This lovely hand rail and side gate is nothing flash – just really nice, simple and traditional designs with traditional joinery to compliment the 17th century cottage.

Fitted for a client in a local vineyard was a number of handrails around the property all of which required a swan neck form at the base to bring the handrail away from the edge of the wall.

A traditional handrail design for a traditional property. This has now been streamlined in the workshop to be one our standardised designs. With fire welded terminations, forged snubs on the vertical bars, held on with hot collars complimented with a shadow rail this handrail design oozes quality and class regardless of property type.

A bespoke take on our Flick Termination handrail design. note the fullered in the vertical bars for on site adjustment for the perfect installation along with Post washers to mask the installation holes and give a seamless job into the brickwork.

One of my all-time favourite commissions and the perfect blend of art meeting function. The design principle here was to give the impression a plant had grown out of the ground to form a handrail. Completely organic in nature, fully traditionally forged with fire welded leaves that blend seamlessly into the vines to give the best 3D organic forgings i could achieve.

A bespoke pair of handrails for one of our local clients based on their own creativity. It defiantly took some head scratching to go from concept to form but as always i try my upmost to deliver exactly wha the client wants.

My Flick termination handrail was a clients favourite here to allow access for my client concerned about their sone steps getting slippery. Fixed directly into the Railway sleepers and following uneven changes in elevation and uneven curves this defiantly required meticulous site survey and templating.

Here we have a set of 4 scroll panels for a private client that wanted to go above and beyond having a simple handrails. Plenty of forged scrolls, a lovely shadow rail for the top rail and a well considered composition.

Fitted this curved hand rail for a Tunbridge Wells client. The vertical tapers are drawn down from 40mm solid with a 25mm cross rail passing through hot punched holes as a key feature. The termination posts which scroll round and have been deliberately pushed out to mimic the scrolls found at the top of cello peg boxes. This feature was incorporated to reflect the clients passion for making and teaching the cello.

I fitted these lovely pair of bulrush handrails just outside Tunbridge Wells. This is a really nice way of adding to a hand rail because the rushes are free standing which allows a lot of freedom when fitting and also helps the piece look more unique... and it means i get to play with my Massey power hammer.
