Who we are

A workshop with a name behind it

At The Ironworks, we believe great metalwork starts with understanding what each customer wants to achieve. Based in Felixstowe, we create practical, bespoke metalwork solutions designed around individual needs, from decorative features to structural steelwork.

Family-run and established in 2015, we bring over 40 years of experience to every project, combining traditional craftsmanship with a flexible approach to design. Whether you need gates and railings, metal staircases, steel balustrades or specialist welding, we work hard to deliver results that reflect your ideas and requirements.

With over 500 happy clients throughout Suffolk, our reputation is built on being fair, reliable and committed to high standards. We can also arrange galvanising where required, helping you explore the right finish for your project. At The Ironworks, your ideas matter, and we're here to help bring them to life.

How we work

FROM FIRST CALL TO FINISHED FIT

01.

Tell us what you need

Call, email or use the enquiry form. A rough idea, measurements or photos of the space all help.

02.

We talk it through

We discuss how it should look, what it needs to do and any practical points that affect the design.

03.

Made to suit

Your piece is fabricated in the workshop to the agreed design, whether that is welded, forged or a mix of both.

04.

Fitted in place

Where a job needs it, we install on site, and on-site welding and repairs are available too.

MATERIALS

The right metal for the job

Different jobs call for different metals. We work across the main types, so the material is chosen for where the piece will live and how it will be used, not for what happens to be on the shelf.

Not sure which suits your project? Ask when you enquire and we will talk through the options.
