The old idea of the blacksmith being able to make and repair just about anything is still true today. The difference is that todays blacksmith needs to be able to design their own work and use a whole range of technology and machinery that were not available to previous generations.
The skill of forging hot iron and steel is still at the leading edge of all we do, but we marry this with the use of modern technology in order for us to be efficient and cost effective in what we do.We are involved in a great number of projects from gates to lighting, fire irons to garden arches. We can make most things in metal.

Services
We are a family run firm of traditional blacksmiths and have been producing high quality metalwork from our forge for the past 170 years. We have a team of skilled blacksmiths and are able to produce a range of items from smaller scale domestic wares to large-scale architectural projects. We work very much in the traditions of our craft, forging metals with the same techniques and sometimes the same tools as our great great grandfather used.
By being creative in the forge we can produce stunning pieces that have all of the benefits of blacksmithing, with texture and changes of section, alongside interesting jointing, but incorporate modern techniques to produce the desired effect. We can help to create individuality in the way that we forge and shape hot metal and are happy to discuss design concepts.
The traditional gate or railings with their beautiful scrollwork, leafwork and detailed jointing are probably the images most people think of when asked about wrought ironwork. We are able to re-produce historic ironwork exactly, or work in the styles of previous historic periods to create new work that fits in perfectly with its surroundings.
We have gained a reputation for high quality conservation and restoration work and have worked on some of the most important and prestigious pieces of historic ironwork in the country. Our principles and the way we go about our work have changed over the years as we have gained more experience and a greater understanding of good conservation practice.
