Old iron grill removal and invisible grill replacement
A rusted, outdated iron grille is both a cosmetic problem and, eventually, a structural one as corrosion weakens welds and anchor points. Replacing it with a tensioned cable system solves both at once.
Iron grilles typically need repainting every 2-4 years to hold off rust, and even with maintenance, welded joints can weaken over a decade or more of weather exposure, eventually becoming a genuine safety concern rather than just an appearance issue.
Removal starts with an assessment of how the existing grille is anchored, since some older installations are welded directly into structural elements that need careful cutting, while others are bolted and can be unfixed more simply.
Once the old grille is removed, we patch and make good the original anchor points before installing the new cable system's own brackets, so the finished wall or slab doesn't show old fixing marks.
This is also the point where most customers upgrade their spec entirely — moving from a heavy iron grille to SS316 marine-grade cable with 2-inch child-safe spacing, addressing corrosion, safety and appearance in a single project rather than three separate concerns.
