Invisible grills and safety nets across Kottayam District

We cover the localities listed on our service area pages, and those lists reflect where we genuinely operate rather than everywhere we would like to. If your locality is not listed, call us anyway: we often work just beyond a listed boundary, and we will tell you plainly if a job is outside our reach rather than sending someone unprepared.

Sometimes. Moving from 316 to 304 stainless is a genuine saving and perfectly sound at an inland address, and a coarser mesh is fine if you only need to keep birds out. What we will not do is reduce cable spacing tolerance or anchor quality, because those are the two things that decide whether the installation actually holds.

Once a year is right for most installations, and it is largely something you can do yourself: press the cables or net at mid-span to feel for slack, look at the anchor points for rust weeping or hairline cracking, and wash the surfaces down. In coastal and cyclone-exposed locations we recommend an additional check after the wet season.

Warranty depends on the product, and the figure for each one is stated on its service page rather than promised generically here. In every case the warranty covers materials and workmanship on what we installed, and it assumes the yearly inspection is carried out. We will always tell you what is and is not covered before you commit.

It needs attention but rarely means replacement. Slack in a cable widens the gap under load, which is the thing a barrier exists to prevent, and slack in a net lets it whip and abrade against fixings. Both are usually corrected by re-tensioning at the existing hardware, which is a short visit rather than a new installation.

In most gated communities and housing societies, yes, because anything fixed to an external wall or balcony counts as a facade alteration. We can supply the drawings and material specification you need to submit. It is worth starting that process early, since approval usually takes longer than the installation itself.

For anything structural we do, yes. We can give an indicative range over the phone from your balcony dimensions, but the final price depends on the condition of the wall or slab we are fixing into, the access route for materials, and the exact spacing you need. A survey takes about twenty minutes and means the quotation we give you is the price you pay.

A cloth hanger is usually done in an hour or two. A single balcony safety net takes two to six hours, and an invisible grill on one or two bays takes most of a working day. Larger jobs such as sports enclosures or building covering run to several days because foundations and scaffold have to be dealt with first.

Almost always because the specifications are different, even when the dimensions are identical. Cable grade, cable spacing, net polymer and the type of anchor used all change the cost substantially and none of them are visible in a photograph. When comparing quotations, check the stated grade and spacing rather than the total alone.

A properly stabilised net in a moderate climate should give several years of service, and considerably longer where it is shaded. The way to judge it is by feel rather than by date: twine that has become stiff or chalky and snaps instead of stretching has reached the end of its life and should be replaced.

Substantially. Chloride in coastal air pits ordinary stainless, so we move to AISI 316 cable and use stainless fittings throughout, and we avoid galvanised hardware entirely. We also seal terminations and detail them so water drains away rather than sitting against the wall, because that is where coastal installations usually fail first.

We deliberately do not, because a single rate would be misleading. The same area costs very different amounts depending on the grade of hardware, the spacing you need, the height you are working at and the condition of the substrate. Our pricing guide sets out every factor that moves the number so you can see how a quotation is built up.

Not necessarily, though it depends on the job. Cable and net installations can be fitted in the wet season without difficulty. Facade covering and anything involving foundations is better scheduled outside it. Where we do install during the monsoon we will normally return once the season ends to re-tension, since that is when any slack appears.
