Metal work

If you’ve got some work involving the installation or repair of metal fittings and objects, a metal worker is the person to call. Metal workers both create and install metal items in homes, and some also work on large scale construction projects.

What exactly does a metal worker do?

There are a number of different types of metal workers. Steel fabricators and fabrication companies specialise in creating finished products such as doors, grates and metal fencing. They may also make ornamental features and metal furniture utilising welds, bolts, rivets and a variety of skilled techniques. Sheet metal workers often work on site, and the metal jobs they do usually involve measuring, cutting, bending and otherwise manipulating pre-cut sheets of metal for a variety of purposes and then installing it. Such metal work can include installing and repairing ventilation ducts, metal roofs, guttering and other household items that can be made from malleable sheet metal.

Common metal working jobs

Common jobs undertaken by metal workers include a wide variety of activities, such as the creation and installation of iron gates and outdoor furniture. Some are highly skilled at creating decorative and intricately detailed designs that are as much for aesthetic purposes as they are for functionality.

Repairing or replacing sections of metal roofing, staircases and other metal fixtures also falls under the remit of a metal worker. These types of metal jobs will often be done on site by sheet metal workers, while those that require a lot of detailed work will often be carried out in a workshop prior to installation. Some metal workers will be more experienced in the functional side of the trade, and others more artisanal, so it’s best to check what kind of metal worker your contact is before commencing with the job.
