Looking Back at 2025, A Year of Growth, Innovation and Improved Fabrication
Looking Back at 2025, A Year of Growth, Innovation and Improved Fabrication
As 2025 draws to a close, we wanted to look back and reflect on what’s changed this year, our customers and the projects that have taken us across the UK. This year has been one of steady growth, new ideas and continued interest in long lasting steel solutions that help businesses and homeowners get more from their spaces. From bespoke balconies to large scale canopies and safety improvements, 2025 has shown just how important well designed steelwork has become for both commercial and domestic properties.
A Wide Range of Projects
One of the standout aspects of 2025 has been the sheer variety of projects we have worked on. For homeowners, balconies and garden structures have remained popular choices. Many customers told us they wanted to improve their outdoor space without the cost of a full extension, and steel balconies provided a stylish and practical way to do that. The trend towards modern, minimalist designs also continued, with slimline steel and glass combinations being particularly popular.
Improved Safety and Accessibility
Another key theme throughout 2025 was a stronger focus on safety. Many organisations reviewed their existing setups and recognised the need for more robust railings, anti slip solutions and custom staircases. Businesses have taken a proactive approach to making their buildings easier to access for staff, customers and visitors.
We’ve always placed safety and quality at the heart of all our work, and this year was no exception. Our team carried out a wide range of safety improvements, including compliant handrails, secure platforms and upgraded steps for both indoor and outdoor use.
Long Term Value
With ongoing cost pressures throughout the year, many customers were focused on long term value. High quality steel fabrication offers durability, low maintenance and a lifespan that far exceeds most alternatives, making it a smart investment for the future.
In 2025, we saw more customers choosing steel solutions that combined strength with a modern finish. This included powder coated railings in unique colours, bespoke staircases that fit unusual layouts, and balcony designs tailored exactly the look of the property.
Weather Proofing and Outdoor Expansion
The weather was as unpredictable as ever this year, leading to a revived interest in outdoor shelters, canopies and covers. Businesses across many sectors invested in permanent solutions to make outdoor areas usable all year round.
Hospitality venues in particular saw the benefit of expanding outdoor seating to increase capacity, improve comfort and create more inviting spaces for guests.
Continued Commitment to Craftsmanship
Through every project in 2025, our team maintained a strong focus on high standards and attention to detail. Bradfabs is built on craftsmanship, and we take pride in delivering bespoke steelwork that looks good, performs well and lasts for years. From complex structural designs to small bespoke fabrications, the skill and dedication of our team has remained at the heart of everything we do.
As always, we’d like to thank everyone who has worked with us this year, from homeowners to commercial clients and project partners. Your trust in our work drives us to keep delivering the best in bespoke steel fabrication.
