Services
Balcony Manufacturer
We are an experienced balcony manufacturer based in Doncaster, designing and building bespoke balconies in our fully equipped local workshops. With safety and security at the heart of everything we do, our skilled team provides balcony installations nationwide across the UK.
A balcony is a great way to make the most of outdoor space, and we work on both commercial and residential projects. In commercial settings, balconies can create recreational spaces for employees or visitors, whilst residential developments, including flats and apartments, gain valuable outdoor relaxation areas.
Juliet Balconies add a touch of elegance to any new-build or refurbished project. Juliet Balconies are slim, stylish railings that are typically installed outside a large window or French doors on upper storeys, creating the appearance of a full balcony from the exterior while allowing rooms to open up internally.
Designed and manufactured to the highest standards, our Juliet balconies add both visual appeal and practical value to residential properties across the UK.

Balustrades must be at least 1100mm high for Balconieswith gaps not exceeding 100mm to prevent accidents.
