MS Gates, Grills & Steel Work in Palam Vihar, Gurgaon
Metal work in Palam Vihar is mostly renewing the steel that came with a house decades ago: rusted window grills, gates on tired brick pillars, safety doors and stairs to the roof. Some of it can be repaired from photos; new work is quoted after a ₹99 site visit.
Metal fabrication in Palam Vihar, Gurgaon, is a story of ageing steel. Ansal's township near the Delhi border was built as blocks of independent houses, and most were fitted with mild steel grills, gates and stair rails when they went up. Decades of monsoons later, much of that steel is rusting where water sits, while the houses around it are being renovated or rebuilt as floors. In this settled corner of Gurugram, the first question at almost every job is whether the old steel can be saved.
Repair or replace?
Rust looks alarming, but surface rust on a sound bar is cosmetic. The test is the metal underneath.
| What you see | Usually means | Likely answer |
|---|---|---|
| Flaking paint, light brown surface rust | Paint has failed; steel is sound | Clean to bare metal, prime and repaint |
| Bars thinner at the bottom, holes in hollow tubes | Steel has rusted through from inside | Replace the section or the grill |
| Grill moves when pushed | Fixings rusted out of the wall | Re-anchor, or replace with a new grill |
| Gate dropped, scraping the drive | Pillar or hinge has moved | Fix the pillar first, then the gate |
Photos on WhatsApp are often enough to tell which. Metal gate and grill rusting and grill loose from wall go into each case.
The pillar decides the gate
Many Palam Vihar gates hang on brick pillars built with the house. A heavier new gate on an old pillar will pull it over within a season. Before choosing an MS main gate, look at the pillar: is it cracked, leaning, or hollow? Sometimes a steel post inside or beside the pillar carries the gate while the brick stays for looks. A pedestrian gate beside the car gate takes much of the daily use, which spares the big leaf.
| Style | Why it suits Palam Vihar | Price |
|---|---|---|
| MS window grill | Replaces rusted original grills on ground and first floors | Quoted after visit |
| MS main gate | Car and pedestrian gates sized to the old pillars, or new posts | Quoted after visit |
| MS safety door | Houses now split into floors, each with its own entrance | Quoted after visit |
| MS spiral staircase | Roof access where the original stair stops a floor short | Quoted after visit |
New grills that last longer than the old ones
Old grills failed for three reasons: flat ledges that held water, open-ended tubes that filled with it, and paint that was never renewed. A new grill avoids the first two by design, with sealed ends and drain points. For the third, powder coating gives a far tougher skin than brush paint. Keep one openable grill per floor for escape.
Stairs to the roof
Where a house was built with no stair to the top roof, an MS spiral staircase fits into a small square, inside or against an outside wall. It is made to the exact floor-to-floor height, so it is measured at the visit.
The ₹99 visit is usually within 24 to 48 hours. A written quote follows within about 2 hours, valid for 3 days, and fabrication starts on the 50% advance. Repairs that can be judged from photos are quoted on WhatsApp without a paid visit.

Common questions
Can a rusted grill be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, if the rust is on the surface and the bars are still solid. It is cleaned to bare metal, primed and repainted. If bars have thinned or tubes have rusted through from inside, the section or the whole grill is replaced. Photos on WhatsApp usually show which.
Purane brick pillar pe naya gate lag sakta hai?
Only if the pillar is sound. A cracked, leaning or hollow pillar will not carry a heavy new gate for long. Sometimes a steel post is added inside or beside the pillar to carry the gate while the brick stays for looks. We check the pillar at the site visit.
How much does a new window grill cost in Palam Vihar?
Grills have no fixed published rate. The window size, bar section, spacing, design and finish all change the price. After the ₹99 site visit you get a written, all-inclusive quote, valid for 3 days. Several windows measured on one visit go into one quote.
Can a spiral staircase reach our top roof?
Usually yes. A spiral stair fits in a small square of floor, inside the top floor or against an outside wall, and is made to the exact floor-to-floor height. It needs a sound base and a fixing at the top. It is measured and quoted after the site visit.
