To Conserve and Restore for Future Generations ....

An important part of the Company's work is the faithful restoration, reproduction and conservation of antique metalwork of every description. We offer a full consultation service which can include a detailed professional report if required.
Where items are being restored the work is always carried out by experienced members of our workforce with an extensive knowledge and understanding of the materials and methods used by the original craftsmen.
We begin by carefully cleaning off old paint finishes in order to assess the amount of work required and after consultation with our client we restore and replicate where necessary to achieve the desired result.
If we do nothing with our antique ironwork it will inevitably become a pile of rust which will be of no benefit to our descendants. Whatever we do is always a compromise between salvaging and preserving what is left of the original material and discarding pieces which are beyond repair and replacing them with new material. For restoration work our recommended material is pure iron. Find out more about pure iron by visiting our sister web site at http://www.pureiron.com.
