Materials
With a long blacksmithing heritage Fine Iron uses only best quality materials that will stand the test of time. We are proud to use quality solid steel sourced in the United Kingdom with the vast majority of our designs being formed from solid section and crafted using the latest manufacturing technologies.
Any fixings supplied with our ironwork are in accordance with BS standards.
Finishes
Our experience and expertise has resulted in a durable and authentic finish to protect your ironwork for years to come.
All ironwork is shotblasted prior to finishing so that surfaces are taken back to base metal to ensure all surfaces are perfectly clean and have an etched surface for excellent adhesion of base paint. Further coats of paint are then applied using our tried and tested paint system. The standard finish is a traditional sateen black, however we are able to finish in most colours to suit your requirements - all we need is the RAL colour reference.
Delivery
All of our Porches are palletised and packed with the greatest care - infact we have received many compliments about the quality of our packaging from clients and couriers! Once a convenient delivery date has been arranged our trusted courier will deliver your ironwork.
Alternatively, our customers are always welcome to visit us and collect the ironwork themselves at a pre-arranged time if preferred.
Installation
All of our Porches have been designed for ease of installation and include fixings for the ironwork and installation instructions. The majority are installed either by the client (if they are a confident DIYer) or by your local/ preferred builder.
If you would like further information or assistance regarding installation please don't hesitate to contact us - we are always happy to help.
Variable Sizing
Although we show some ‘typical’ sizes for our porches, these are purely as a guide only as we understand that most homes are in fact quite unique! That’s why all of our ironwork is handcrafted and made to order. This ensures that our ironwork is made to suit the individual requirements of your home and your personal needs and preferences.
All we need from you is the overall width, the preferred depth out and the required height from ground to the underside of the roof.
Please don’t worry at this stage as when you place your order we provide fully dimensioned drawings so there’s plenty of time to double check before we start to make anything. This ensures that your ironwork fits exactly how you want it!

The design of ironwork you would like, whether it is one of our existing designs or you have been inspired by a design you have seen elsewhere
The type of roof you would prefer and any accessories you would like to finish your ironwork off – such as cast shoe covers or our forest of dean stone plinths (please see our brochure for more information about the options available)
Do you install the ironwork?
What are roof options are available?
(We offer an array of roof options to give you the freedom to choose what you prefer. Our most cost-effective option would be our galvanised mild sheet roof (see below for more information about this type of roof).
We can provide a roof framework which can be lined and leaded by your local roofer/ builder – we do not line and lead ourselves as we are not a roofing company and there are many styles of lining and leading, which are best worked through with a professional in that trade.
We also offer a glazing bar roof, which allows you to have a partially or fully glazed roof, this can be straight or curved with hipped ends. We do not supply the glass as we are not a glazier, but do supply the mild steel sheet for infill panels if required.)
Can you attach guttering to a galvanised mild sheet roof?
Can you line a galvanised mild sheet roof?
Can you flash around the galvanised mild sheet roof using lead or similar?
How will my order arrive?
We take the utmost care when packing and your pallet will be made specially for your ironwork. However, we would always ask that the ironwork is unpackaged and inspected before the courier leaves. In the extremely rare event of any damages we would ask that you make us aware of this as soon as possible and send any relevant photos. (All of our Ironwork is photographed prior to leaving our workshop)
Is there a delivery charge?
Do prices include VAT?
Do you keep any stock?
Can I return my order if I don’t like it?

What is included with my ironwork?
If you or your builder have any queries when installing our ironwork, we are always on the end of the phone and are more than happy to help in any way we can!
What maintenance is required if any?
All of our ironwork is constructed using the best materials and the highest standard of manufacture and with a little maintenance will last you for decades. For more information about maintenance, please see our ‘caring for your ironwork’ page.
As with any natural product that has been painted for protection, particularly one that spends its life outside, ironwork does require periodic inspection and a little maintenance in order to keep it looking beautiful.
This is a very easy process:
- We recommend a full visual inspection 6 – 10 weeks after installation to ensure there is no discolouration/oxidation from water ingress which may occur in some of the tighter joints, or from chips/scratches that may have been missed initially.
- Frequency of subsequent inspections/maintenance will depend very much on local conditions but should be at least annually.
- Any debris, leaves etc. should be cleared to prevent water getting trapped and sitting against the ironwork.
- The ironwork should be wiped over with a damp cloth intermittently to remove any dust/dirt.
- Any chips/scratches that occur in use should be touched up as soon as possible before oxidation occurs. We appreciate that you may not spot them straight away so if oxidation has already occurred, this can easily be remedied by gently and carefully rubbing back the affected area with a light abrasive pad/Scotch pad (such as those on the back of a washing up sponge), applying a proprietary rust inhibitor and touching up with the paint provided. Step by step instructions on how to do this are available on our website.
Installation - How to handle my ironwork?
Thank you for purchasing your new ironwork from Fine Iron. We want to ensure you are completely happy with your ironwork and it remains as pristine as when it arrived for many years to come.
In order to do that, please follow these simple guidelines:
- The ironwork should be unwrapped on arrival in order to check the goods. If you do not intend to install the ironwork immediately it can be tempting to leave it wrapped for protection – please do not do this (refer to packing and delivery instructions for further information).
- The ironwork components are very heavy. If they are placed directly on or against a hard surface (e.g concrete, brick, stone, paviours), either when unpacking, when storing it after unpacking prior to installation, or during installation, the weight if the ironwork on/against the surface can damage the paint finish. The damage to the coating may not be easily visible so you may not even think it requires touching-up with the paint provided but after a time oxidisation will occur and orange staining will become apparent on the surface. To prevent this happening, please ensure a suitable buffer is placed between the ironwork and any hard surface – this could be cardboard, a lint-free material or similar.
- It is preferable not carry out any cutting/welding works, or any work that creates sparks or debris travelling at high speed, in the proximity of the ironwork but if this is unavoidable, please ensure you provide suitable protection and cover the ironwork beforehand. Sparks and debris will embed in the surface of the paint which are then highly likely to cause oxidation/rust to form.
- Once installation is complete, wipe the ironwork over with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove any dust/dirt (this will also help you to spot any chips or scratches).
- Chips and scratches to the ironwork will invariably occur during the installation process. This is perfectly normal and we provide small tin of paint with every order to enable these to be touched up (this can also be used to paint the heads of the fixings). Touching up should be done immediately or as soon as practicable following installation before any oxidisation occurs.
- We recommend a full visual inspection 6 – 10 weeks after installation to ensure there is no discolouration/oxidation from water ingress which may occur in some of the tighter joints, or from chips/scratches that may have been missed initially.
- In the unlikely event oxidation/discolouration occurs, this can easily be remedied by gently rubbing back the affected area with a light abrasive pad/Scotch pad (such as those on the back of a washing up sponge), applying a proprietary rust inhibitor and touching up with the paint provided. Step by step instructions on how to do this are available on our website.
