Metalwork

Gates + Fencing

At Arcwell, we have been manufacturing gates and fencing in Whangarei and Northland for several years. Our skilled and efficient team are well-versed in the design, manufacture, and installation of all types of gates and access solutions. Whether it is a security gate, a wrought iron gate for your statement house, a powered gate for effortless control, for a stadium or farm - we have got your back.

Our team of experienced welders and metal fabricators allow us to work with you to bring your custom design to life. We focus on reliability, durability and high quality. 

No matter what gate style you are needing - be it a swing gate, sliding gate, or cantilevered sliding gate - with powered or manual control, our team will work with you to supply a solution designed for your exact requirements.

We can work with a range of materials, so no matter if you want a gate constructed from Aluminium, Steel, or Wrought Iron, for Residential or Commercial applications - we can help out.

All our gates can be supplied with manual or electronic control options – so if you’re wanting add-ons like an intercom system, loop detectors, keypad codes, safety sensors – or something else entirely, let us know – we’ll be happy to talk through the options with you. 

Handrails + Balustrades

At Arcwell, we pride ourselves with the quality workmanship of our wrought iron handrails and balustrades. We offer a complete package – design, manufacture and installation. We can manufacture in stainless, mild, and galvanised steel to suit the location – whether for indoor or outdoor applications. 

Indoor and outdoor stairways, access ramps, and balconies all need a handrail or balustrade to meet building code requirements – and we work with architects, designers, builders, and homeowners throughout Northland, Kaipara, and Auckland to provide handrails and balustrades for all parts of your property - providing safety for users, and restricted access where necessary. 

Whether it is for outside areas like the pool and deck, to interior staircases and balconies, our team of experienced engineers have the skills and experience to create any handrails and balustrades you require, finished in the design that fits in with the aesthetics of your property and vision. 

Whether it is a simple galvanised pipe rail for a commercial or educational facility, a stainless-steel handrail for high-traffic and architectural areas, or a powder-coated steel or wrought iron option to match your existing designs – our team can custom make to your specific requirements. 

For projects with complex design requirements, we can provide custom-designed balustrading or railing solutions for any application. Our use of advanced pipe bending machinery allows us to create complex and seamless curves for ramp handrails, ensuring compliance with Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act requirements.

All handrails and balustrades we supply are designed and built to comply with the compliance and building codes of your local authority – and our team can take care of the entire process, from site measurements through fabrication and installation onsite.

Stairs

Designer steel staircases are becoming more and more popular with architects, designers, and builders all taking advantage of the unique properties of steel to create some truly eye-catching designs – and Arcwell are pleased to be a part of making these come to reality for properties all around Northland, Kaipara, and Auckland. 

If you are wanting superior strength stairs that combine practicality with good looks, we are the steel staircase fabricators you have been looking for. We’re well-versed in the manufacture, supply and installation of high-quality custom-made steel staircases for residential, commercial and industrial situations. 

Whether you are looking for floating treads with a robust central steel stringer, the bold look of zig zag steel plate stringers, or the incredible treads on a hidden, cantilevered steel structure – making them look like they are hovering in mid-air – We have the knowledge and experience to make your vision a reality. 

Once the staircase frame is complete, we can transport all components to your site anywhere in the North and will work with your builder and other tradespeople to install the stairs to the precise accuracy required for stair installation. We’re all about customised, friendly service and advice, quality work, and a fantastic, finished result.
