  • For anyone involved in the care and maintenance of architectural metalwork, historic structures or industrial heritage, we deliver a unique and comprehensive range of conservation, repair and restoration services.
  • And we apply the same traditional skills and craft to the creation of new-build architectural metalwork, including the reproduction of missing elements in historic settings.
Our craftsmen work with a wide range of materials, including genuine wrought iron (‘puddled’), traditional cast iron, steel, copper and copper alloys (brass and bronze), tin, zinc, lead and gilded / decorative finishes, as well as all associated carpentry, joinery and glazing. And our work can be found anywhere that demands the very highest standards of craftsmanship: from architectural features (such as gates and railings, windows, verandas and canopies, roof lights and domes, balustrades, staircases and balconies) through to complete architectural and engineering structures (including iron bridges, conservatories and glasshouses, windmills, watermills, bandstands, and fountains).
