At ICE BT, we specialise in balcony refurbishments services for commercial organisations across the South of England. Whether you manage a block of apartments, a student accommodation complex, a care facility, or a commercial building, maintaining safe and durable balconies is essential. Over time, balconies can deteriorate due to weather exposure, structural wear, or outdated designs. Our expert team provides full balcony replacement solutions that ensure compliance with the latest building safety standards, while enhancing the look and value of your property.
We cover everything from existing balcony refurbishments to full balcony replacements, balcony decking repairs and balcony decking replacements.
If your balconies don’t need full replacement, refurbishment can be a more cost-effective solution. We offer balcony refurbishment services tailored to the needs of commercial property owners and facilities managers. From repairing concrete spalling and rusting steelwork to upgrading waterproofing systems and railings, our refurbishments extend the life of your balconies and improve their safety for residents and tenants.
Working with our supply chain partners, we have delivered extensive large scale external balcony refurbishment projects that have aligned with the aesthetics of our clients’ buildings while achieving all the necessary regulations.
Fire regulations mandate that balconies, particularly on residential buildings over 11 meters, are constructed with non-combustible materials like those classified as A1 or A2-S1, d0 according to BS EN 13501-1. These regulations aim to prevent fire spread and ensure the safety of residents.
Whilst our projects have ensured our clients buildings are compliant with building and fire regulations, they also eliminate the need for costly maintenance works that were inherent with previous timber balcony floor systems.
We utilising a wide range of external fire resistant balcony decking and flooring profiles and colours. These include composite ultra board decking, aluminium decking products such as Alideck. We provide an alternative and safe solution that retains a sympathetic alliance with the main buildings external design and finish.
Along with the balcony flooring we can also replace or refurbish the balustrade surrounding the balcony. Our balustrade replacements utilise a wide range of materials including glass balustrade systems and balcony glazing panels. All balustrade systems fit seamlessly with your chosen balcony replacement flooring or decking.

Here is a recent balcony replacement we carried out using Alideck Junior Decking Boards. We removed the existing patio slabs and mineral felt before installing an EPDM substructure, cut to overlap into the existing rainwater system. The Alideck Junior Decking Boards were fitted with low joists and adjustable pedestal brackets to provide a seamless professional finish, completely transforming this balcony for the customer.
