We designed and manufactured this unusual staircase for a recently renovated studio, providing access to the mezzanine level above whilst working around the layout of the room on the ground floor.

The project presented a couple of key challenges. The pitched roof above the mezzanine meant that access at the top of the staircase needed to be in the centre of the room. However, the position of a wash basin in the centre of the space below meant the foot of the staircase needed to be offset to the side. To solve this, we worked with the property owner to create an S-shaped design made from cast aluminium.

We designed the staircase to run parallel with the mezzanine with the base turning out into the space. This made access more straightforward than would have been possible with a straight staircase and meant we could limit its linear length to fit well within the space.

The design comprised two wide straight diamond treads at the base, smoothly transitioning into four anti-clockwise treads curving around the fitted washbasin. From there, three straight treads ascended to the required height, leading to three clockwise treads that met perfectly at the centre of the mezzanine level.

We developed the initial designs using our computer-aided designs (CAD) software. This allowed the designs to be easily fine-tuned and allowed the client to approve the final appearance. Once the design was agreed, our foundry team produced the cast aluminium parts which were then finished by our workshop team. Cast aluminium offers all the aesthetic benefits of cast iron but is considerably lighter. In fact, cast aluminium staircases can be a third lighter than cast iron counterparts.

For the finish, our in-house powder coating facility offered the property owner the luxury of selecting any of our RAL options for their staircase. In this instance, they went with RAL 8019, a grey matt brown finish, complimenting the space perfectly. In addition, the overall project was enhanced by incorporating a striking glass balcony, elevating the aesthetic appeal of the space further.

Once installed, our aluminium staircases add value and provide a beautifully crafted, unique statement piece for any space. BSC’s commitment to excellence ensures that clients experience a seamless journey from the conceptualisation of their staircase to its final installation, with unwavering support and expertise at every step. The property owner said: “Everyone I dealt with at British Spirals and Castings was professional, courteous, and patient. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Their experience and creative input were invaluable.”

With around 10,000 conservation areas in England, knowing what you can and cannot do when installing a new external staircase, balcony or railing on properties located in these areas is the best way to avoid potential problems.

Conservation areas can be:

• Old town or city centres
• Historical hamlets, villages or towns
• Old suburbs of cities or towns
• Historic and significant landmarks
• Country estates

Many conservation areas also have listed buildings – if your building is also listed, then as well as addressing the regulations in a conservation area, you will also need to apply for listed building consent.

This designation of a conservation area is usually up to local planning authorities, and each area will have individual regulations controlled by Article 4 directions. In some cases, local authorities carry out a Conservation Area Appraisal which can be consulted to find out more information, but it’s also a good idea to get building control involved as early as possible.

Getting Building Control involved

Consider using a local private company rather than the local authority building controls as they tend to be much quicker and have much more experienced staff.

There are a few misconceptions of building control, namely:

1. The involvement of building control will prevent you from achieving the design you would like​.
2. The involvement of building control will result in an escalation of construction costs​.

However, we find that the earlier building control is used, the more delays tend to be avoided whilst also keeping costs down. As well as this, the involvement of building control creates awareness of a particular building’s, or area’s, constraints, whilst expanding on local and historical knowledge. This can help to identify what materials and designs you should use for your project.

If you’re working on a property in a conservation area which requires a staircase, railing or balcony, it’s also a great idea to get in touch with us at the earliest possible stage. We can help you with all of the design and planning steps and explore all the design and material options. This can help to streamline the process and avoid unnecessary planning delays or costs.

All planning officers will be looking for high quality design, materials and finish as well as appropriate scale, size, height etc. of the proposed design. For some conservation areas, the choice or design and materials may be determined by the specific planning restrictions in place – but this depends heavily on the local officers. Some original railings, staircases and balconies have historic and architectural value, meaning the same design or material need to be used if they are replaced. Being aware of this early on will help you consider how it will affect costs, project timescales, finishes and design. But in some cases, conservation areas can still enable a flexibility in the type of material specified, so long as it conserves the character of the area – so it may be possible to use cast aluminium to replace cast iron, which can help lower overall costs.

It may also be possible to specify a design based on one from the catalogue of cast iron castings we already have available, as opposed to specifically recreating the original pattern used for a project. This means we don’t need to create a custom pattern mould, which can save on both costs and lead times.

But in the case that the design of the piece needs to match a pre-existing design, there are a few options to consider:

• If possible, we can take a cutting from another part of the property and create a mould from this. If this isn’t possible, we can see if there are any railings or balustrades in the surrounding area that are similar and take photographs of these.
• Alternatively, you may also be able to find archival images of the street scene online, which can be used to replicate the design. For example, councils will often house collections of local archival images.

When it comes to creating pattern moulds from samples, we start by removing all the paint by shot blasting or chemical dipping, and then we cast from that and produce as many new pieces as the project requires.

For some projects, designs may need to be adapted to meet the building regulations or requirements. At British Spirals & Castings, our Victorian and LCC tread patterns are based on the original designs and patterns, but the front fascia has been adapted for regulatory compliance.

The post Renovating in a conservation area – a guide appeared first on British Spirals & Castings.

Whilst the initial property included some features which referenced Georgian design, it had undergone a number of piecemeal extensions over time. The result was a rather jumbled affair with undersized bedrooms and a convoluted layout requiring a long walk to get from the kitchen to the dining room.

The owners decided to demolish much of these extensions and start from scratch, rationalising the layout and developing a finished, 6 bedroom design which convincingly resembled an original Georgian building which had been faithfully developed and added to over time. Having high quality metalwork was essential for the project, as Fenella explained:

“The architectural ironwork can really make a project such as this. It can also let down a project badly if it is not designed and executed properly so it was key to choose a company with the knowledge and experience that Antonia and the British Spirals & Castings team can offer.” 

Railings, Gate and Juliet Balcony

The external railings surround key elements in the property, including the spacious roof terrace, and it was vital that they really embody the spirit of the refurbished home, communicating both the quality and the overall aesthetic for the property. We explored a range of different options with Fenella and the owners, eventually selecting a design which combines simple decorative spindles, ornamental panels with an intricate central crest, and circular newel posts topped with a ball finial.

“We loved Antonia’s input and ideas throughout the entire project. The clients was so impressed with the British Spirals & Castings pieces that we even redesigned a large sliding gate at the front of the property (with Antonia’s input) so that is matched the rest of her ironwork.”

-Fenella Pledger

The gate design adopts elements from the railings, including internal ball finials, but provides a more decorative aesthetic with flowing patterns and spear finials which deliver a real ‘wow factor’ when you arrive at the property.

Alex Maguire Photography

As a finishing touch, we also crafted a Juliet balcony with spindles which match those of the railings and low-level curved metalwork referencing the external gates.  The balcony sits outside the large French windows for the master bedroom, flooding the room with light and allowing the owners to open the room out during the summer months.

Spiral Staircase

The external spiral staircase provides access to and from the raised roof terrace above the garages. With its narrow diameter and compact footprint, the spiral design was ideal for the space, providing easy access without obstructing the path into the garage or blocking light from the nearby household windows.

The cast aluminium staircase comes from our Victorian spiral staircase range. As with all our spiral staircase designs, the tread and landing plate designs from the range can be matched with a huge range of spindle options create the desired aesthetic for the project. In this case, we used a decorative spindle which matches those within the railings.

Balustrade

On entering the home, you are immediately greeted with the stunning helical staircase which rises to the top story and encircles a beautiful, pendant glass chandelier.

The wrought iron balustrading uses simple, slender spindles which complement the flow of  the centrepiece staircase. Rather than fixing directly into the face of the mahogany treads, we created a design which instead uses intricate side fixings. These add a further stylistic flourish to the staircase whilst also maximising the available tread width – allowing two people to comfortably cross on the staircase, or walk up and down together.

We collaborated with the handrailing manufacturers to communicate the precise dimensions for the handrail plate. This ensured the mahogany handrail perfectly matches up with the balustrading, providing a seamless finished effect. The end result is a stunning one-of-a-kind piece which sets the tone for the beautiful interior design throughout this home.

How tall should railings on balconies or raised platforms be?

For anything higher than 300mm from ground level, the minimum railing height is 1100mm above the deck. This can be exceeded if you felt it would aid the design or safety of an outdoor space.

The 1100mm is taken from the finished floor level so if there is a dwarf wall which is 400mm high then the railing height required is 700mm. The exception to this when the width of the dwarf wall from the edge to the railing position is such that it is deemed as a step. There is no hard and fast rule and what measurement it needs to be in order be deemed as a step but the general rule of thumb is 220mm.

How tall can boundary railings be?

This depends on what your boundary separates or is adjacent to. For a boundary railing next to or adjoining a public highway, or within 3 meters of a road edge, your railing should not exceed 1100mm in height.

For any other railing or boundary, the best rule of thumb is to stay below 2000mm to avoid the need for planning permission, but if you’re unsure it’s always best to double check with your local authority.

Keep in mind that additional planning restrictions may come into play for certain buildings such as those that are listed, within conservation areas or share an open front garden. In these cases, you may be preventing from adding railings, or may need to meet specific design requirements. That’s why we offer a wide range of period design for everything from railing panels to heads, spindles and backstays to fit your property. For those larger endeavours (over 5 metres in length), we can even take mouldings of existing railings and craft exact replicas for your project.

Learn more about getting planning permission for railings.

To prevent existing railings getting to the stage of replacement and repair, take a look at our tips on how to maintain your iron railings over time to prevent corrosion and other age-related damage.

The post How tall can external railings be? appeared first on British Spirals & Castings.

External metal railings are a great option to add a little more character and security to the outside of your property. We offer hundreds of railing components within our cast iron store and can also manufacture bespoke railings for longer runs (over 5 metres in length).

As with any significant change to the exterior of your property, it’s always important to double check if there are any particular planning requirements that you need to meet.

Do I need planning permission to install a railing?

In most cases, owners are looking to fit the railings around the boundary of a property. If this runs within 3 metres of a road, then you shouldn’t need planning permission providing the railing is no taller than 1 metre from the ground. Keep in mind this measurement is the total height of the boundary, so if you are fitting wall-top railings, the wall and railings together must be 1 metre tall or lower to avoid planning requirements.

Railings which are installed more than 3 metres from the road can usually be up to 2 metres tall without requiring planning permission (although it is always a good idea to discuss your plans with neighbours before installing them).

There are a few scenarios where it may be necessary to get planning permission for any height of railings:

• If your property is listed/within the land of a listed building or the railing will form the boundary with the land of a listed building.
• If your property is located within a conservation area, Article 4 Directions may require you to get planning permission for certain external works.

If in doubt, it is always a good idea to get in touch with the local planning office to double check if permission is required.

Do I need planning permission to alter or restore a railing?

Typically, you don’t need planning permission to restore or alter an existing railing providing you don’t increase its height. The only common exceptions will be if there are specific planning requirements in place such as those within conservation areas or if your property is listed or adjoins a listed building.

Of course, one of the key challenges when restoring older railings is finding replacement parts which match the original. For this reason, we offer a wide range of historic designs for railing heads, railing panels, spindles and back stays. For longer runs (5 metres or longer) which are in poor condition, we can also take mouldings from existing railings and manufacture precise replications.

We’ve also posted some tips on how to maintain your iron railings over time to prevent corrosion and other issues which can damage them.

Do I need planning permission to remove an existing wall or boundary?

Again, in most cases it is not necessary to get planning permission to remove an existing wall or boundary to make room for a new run of railings. The only exceptions will be if your property is listed, adjoins a listed building or is located within an area with special planning requirements, such as a conservation area. Always double check with the planning office before carrying out the work.

If you are interested in having a run of railings installed which are 5 metres or longer in length, get in touch via phone or email or take a look at our gallery. Our team can walk you through the range of design options to ensure your railing meets planning requirements and provides a stunning finished effect.

For over a century the Science Museum in London has been inspiring visitors from across the world with the wonders of science. The museum’s world-class collection forms an enduring record of scientific, technological and medical advancement from across the globe and includes objects ranging from Robert Hooke’s microscope to the Enigma machine and Tim Peake’s spacecraft. Back in 2019, we worked to faithfully recreate and reinstate ornate railings within new gallery Science City 1550 – 1800: The Linbury Gallery  showcasing how traditional skills such as cast iron manufacture still play an important role in our modern world. Craftmanship is at the heart of the story of the gallery as it explores the role artisans played in aiding scientific discovery in London over the course of 250 years.

The Science City gallery overlooks a main atrium within the museum. At some point, the original run of cast iron railings on this end of the atrium had been replaced with glass. With the space being converted to house the permanent Science City gallery the museum were eager to reinstate cast iron balusters matching the design in the rest of the hall.

Getting the Measure of the Job

The gallery is located on the second floor of the busy museum, presenting a number of challenges we needed to overcome. As the space had to be accessed through a service lift, the balusters needed to be manufactured in short panels whilst retaining the appearance of a continuous run of railings once installed.

In addition, the existing glass balustrades were fixed within a concrete plinth which couldn’t be removed until the new balusters were ready. As a result, we had to design the bespoke cast iron run with fixings that could work with a wide range of potential substrates.

Gallery View of Science City 1550ñ1800: The Linbury Gallery

We carried out regular site visits throughout the project, taking measurements to allow us to produce the bespoke panels and carrying out detailed discussions with the site team about the site requirements and how the panels would be fixed.

Restoring traditions

The Science Museum’s current home was constructed in the 1910s and 20s and the cast iron metalwork exemplifies the decorative style of the period, with the railing panels centring around a detailed floral design.

To faithfully recreate this, we searched around the museum for a section of railing which could be removed – eventually locating this on a back service staircase. We took this section back to our workshop and used it to create an accurate moulding which could then be used to create the pattern for the new run. The section was then carefully reinstalled.

Our experienced team used the patterns to carefully cast the new railings, ensuring each individual section was finished to the highest standards before sending them off to be installed by our expert site team. Thanks to the careful pre-planning and bespoke manufacture, the installation progressed very smoothly.

The new cast iron balusters blend seamlessly with the other metalwork within the atrium. The finished effect is so accurate that most visitors won’t have a clue that they are recreations – proof that modern British manufacture can still be held up to the quality marks of old.

If you are looking to reinstate cast iron balusters or railings within your property, or simply to include railings as part of a new project, get in touch via phone or sales@britishsc.co.uk. With our wealth of knowledge and experience, we are able to create railings in a wide range of styles, from traditional intricate patterns, to simple minimalist options.

The Science Museum is currently closed until 3 December. If you’d like to visit after this date you’ll need a book a ticket in advance, via the museum’s website. If you’d like to discover more about the objects and stories featured in Science City, you can explore these in more detail here.

Wrought Iron

The long history of wrought iron is captured within its very name. The word wrought is an archaic English term which has been replaced in common usage by the term “to work” and there is certainly a lot of work involved in its production! The metal is produced through a smelting process then hammered into shape by the blacksmith (as seen in virtually any movie involving blacksmiths!) and fire welded to form the final piece.

The process has been used throughout much of the history of the western world. The material has a very low carbon content (less than 0.08%) and is formed through a combination of highly refined iron and a small amount of slag. It is this combination which makes the metal malleable and easy to forge at red heat.

Wrought iron metalwork was most popular in the Georgian and early Victorian periods and can usually be identified as the pieces will often show some signs of the hammering processes used to create them, are often quite delicate in design and each of the elements will include slight defects or irregularities which come as a result of them being hand forged.

Cast Iron

Cast Iron methods have been used in China for millennia but only rose to popularity in the west during the last few centuries. The metal has a much higher carbon content that wrought iron (over 2%) and the crystalline formation of this carbon makes the metal quite brittle, meaning it is generally unsuitable to be worked.

The primary benefit of this material is its low melting point and good fluidity, this means that the metal can be melted down and poured into moulds. As the pattern is reusable, cast iron processes can be used to create long runs of identical segments.

Cast iron metalwork is typically slightly less intricate then wrought ironwork (as highly detailed designs are more difficult to accurately reproduce through the casting processes) and sections will look more or less precisely the same. The pieces may also show a seam at the point when the top and bottom moulds meet.

How can I repair or replace damaged metalwork?

If you find yourself with long runs of damaged railings or balustrades, or ones that have been removed entirely, British Spirals & Castings can help to accurately recreate the original designs. We have an extensive pattern library covering centuries of designs and can also recreate castings either based on a sample from your metalwork or using images of metalwork on surrounding properties. Our experienced team have helped listed property owners and those within conservation zones to meet planning requirements and achieve beautiful results.

You can read more about how we go about reinstating railings in this blog and check out an example of our work on this recent project in London.

The post How to tell if metalwork is wrought iron or cast iron? appeared first on British Spirals & Castings.

Cast and wrought iron railings may appear to be indestructible, but take it from us, these features can easily fall apart if they’re not cared for properly. Over the years we’ve helped a number of clients restore parts or entire sections of period railings which have fallen into disrepair. With a little care and attention, however, it is usually possible to identify and address these issues quickly and cheaply before they become serious problems.

What are the warning signs?

The biggest threat to the longevity of railings and other external metalwork is rust. This first line of defence for any ironwork is its paintwork so flaking paintwork is a major warning sign which needs to be quickly addressed.

In many cases, however, corrosion can hide beneath the surface of the paintwork so it’s important to take a close look for signs of trouble each spring and autumn, as the snow, ice and cold temperatures over winter are likely to cause the most significant damage to the metalwork. Signs of corrosion beneath paintwork can include:

• Rust staining either directly on the metalwork or on the surfaces surrounding it.
• Cavities or pits in the surface of metalwork
• Oily residue on the paint
• Blistering of the paintwork or expansion of the metalwork

Pay particularly close attention around joints as these are natural failing points and areas which allow dirt to collect and even plants to grow. Also keep an eye out for signs of trouble in the surrounding stonework ether at the side or base of the railings, this can include fissures forming as a result of the metalwork joint expanding.

How to tackle these issues?

At its early stages, corrosion can be relatively easily treated with a standard selection of tools and some metal paint. Carefully clean all areas of the metalwork, removing plants and dirt, then assess it for any of the above warning signs.

If your property is listed or within a conservation area, it may then be necessary to get permission for yourself or a tradesman to carry out the repairs.

For other properties, if you find areas of corrosion, use some wire wool to carefully remove the paintwork and rust in the affected area. Try to keep the removal isolated to the areas affected whilst ensuring all of the corrosion is removed. You can then prime and repaint the areas. There are a variety of paints available but always check the label to ensure it is suitable for your metalwork. In most cases a few thin coats will be more effective than one or two thick coats (ensuring each coat has fully dried before applying the next). Try to avoid blustery days as there will be more chance of dust and debris blowing onto the metalwork as it dries.

What if they need to be replaced?

If the metalwork is severely damaged, then it may be necessary to replace parts of the railing or to remove the entire run and install a new one.

We offer a wide range of cast iron parts within our store, drawing on hundreds of period patterns, which can provide a suitable replacement for many cast iron railing parts including spindles, railing heads and even panels.

Alternatively, if you want to replace a long run then we can create this for you, either using our existing patterns or based on samples or images of the metalwork on the properties surrounding your own. You can read more about how go about this process in a case study on a project down in London.

The post How to maintain for iron railings appeared first on British Spirals & Castings.

There’s a growing movement here in the UK to restore the decorative parts of period homes that have been lost or covered up over time. Just take a look at the #victorianterrace tag on Instagram and you can see countless examples of homeowners stripping out modern-style plastic windows to replace them with more traditional sash-style alternatives or uncovering original decorative tiled floors in halls. We love to help customers to restore their home’s cast and wrought iron railings back to life and we recently had the opportunity to do just that on a flat in London.

The red-brick Victorian terrace is located just a short walk from some of London’s most historic sites including Lord’s Cricket Ground and Abbey Road Studios. The lower-ground floor of the property had been separated into a self-contained flat and the owner had chosen to expand to the rear with a stylish extension. Access to the front of the property is through an external basement staircase and as part of the wider work, the owners decided to refresh this area including a front wall-top railing and staircase balustrade.

New for Old

The original property railing panel featured two intricate natural cast iron patterns embellished with leaves and Celtic symbols and topped with railing heads. The homeowner was able to supply us with different smaller section of the original railing. Using this, our experienced foundry and cast iron specialists, split the sample into sections, recreated the castings using the different elements of the casting available to us and then cast replicates of these to fit as the new railing sections.

As part of the refurbishment work, the worn-down steps leading to the main entrance were stripped back and replaced with reinforced concrete. We manufactured metal balustrade for the staircase in a traditional style to tie in with the new cast iron railings.

We think you’ll agree that the finished result really adds to the period charm of the property, perfectly completing the front refurbishment by bringing the old back to life.

If you need any lost or damaged external metalwork replacing or would simply like to add an extra touch of class to a new or existing property, we are happy to help. There are a wide range of railing panel designs on offer in our cast iron store and we can custom produce full railing sections and balusters to suit.

Decorative metalwork helps to define the character of many period homes, adding charm and splendour. It’s no surprise then that when homeowners are looking to make changes to these properties, they want to ensure any railings, balusters or stairways match the style. As specialists in period metalwork, we’re always looking to ensure any metalwork is as accurate to original designs as possible, including using centuries old patterns. But occasionally it is necessary to make the odd tweak to designs to ensure they comply with modern safety standards. That was a challenge we faced on a recent installation in North London.

Design Challenges – North London Home

The property we were working on was a beautiful Edwardian mid-terrace spread over three storeys. The home already featured raised ground and first floor balconies, and the homeowners were looking to add a further roof terrace above a flat roof on the top floor. They also wanted to upgrade the front exterior of the house in a style befitting the property including pattered black and white floor tiles.

The existing railings were a mixed bag with plain straight railings installed on the front and first floor terrace and wooden rails on the ground floor balcony. We worked with the owners to create a consistent railing design which could be used across both the front and rear exterior and was more in keeping with the property’s age.

As we’ve discussed, the Edwardian age metalwork shows clear influences from the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements with lots of curves and natural elements. As a result, decorative railing panels are a common feature of this era of design and these were clearly visible outside other properties on the road.

The challenge when working with railing panels is that they can fall foul of the so called “100 mm sphere rule” within the Building Regulations. This essentially means there can be no gaps anywhere on a balustrade or balcony railing that are greater than 99 mm in any dimension (preventing a 100 mm ball from passing through at any point). Ornate railing panels typically taper in to a single point near their top and base and if put together in a run, this will often mean the gap in these areas will be too large.

To work around this, we typically separate the panels with two or three straight balusters. After spending some time looking through different options, the owners selected a beautiful design with a floral interior and piped edges. This design was used for all of the wrought iron railings across the front and rear and was separated with straight balusters with a classic circular footprint. For the rear balconies we also incorporated wrought iron newel posts with a simple central decoration.

“While we contacted and considered a number of cast iron specialists in connection with the replacement of railings for our home, it was apparent from the outset that BSC were a category apart. The owner of the company, Antonia Harding, devoted personal attention to every aspect of our project, travelling miles from her home to conduct site surveys, identifying challenges and working with us to deliver a highly bespoke product which was in keeping with the brief while meeting the challenges of modern day building regulation and safety requirements. All questions were answered patiently and the installation team were also polite and helpful. We are very pleased with the uniformity and quality of the end product.”

Gayatri Desai – Homeowner

We created CAD designs for all the railings and balusters. Once these were agreed, we got to work casting the balusters and top rails and crafting them into the final railing panel, before sending them to site to be installed. Whilst we offer a powder coating service, these panels were delivered to site without a finish and were hand painted by the installers.

The finished metalwork really completes the exterior appearance of the building, looking like they’ve always been a part of the building.
