Restoration projects include restoration of lighting columns to Birdcage Walk, Westminster, manufacture of a replica 1890 fountain and circa 1900 lighting columns for The Mall, Westminster.

Often, restoration projects involve the replacement of broken or missing castings. This will involve the specialist design and manufacture of dedicated pattern equipment. This we are pleased to carry out.

We hold many patterns for the production of castings and are always expanding our stock through using dedicated pattern makers. Please contact us to enquire about our patterns for:

1.	railings.
2.	posts.
3.	columns
4.	finials
5.	staircases
6.	lighting columns
7.	spandrels
8.	etc.

Restoration of old, weathered architectural metalwork will nearly always involve most of the following processes:

a.	removal from site
b.	disassembly.
c.	shot blast, grit blast or bead blast.
d.	repair using specialist welding techniques or mechanical modification.
e.	design and manufacture of pattern equipment for manufacture of replacement castings.
f.	manufacture of replacement castings.
g.	repainting using modern high performance paint systems.
h.	re-assembly.
i.	delivery and Installation

We are able and pleased to be able to carry out all the above works on your behalf.

Modern technology has introduced new manufacturing techniques that we are able to use in restoration projects. These include zinc plasma spray techniques and the use of resin materials. The former technique allows restored ironwork (other than cast iron) to be coated with a layer of zinc prior to painting. For items such as wrought iron railings and gates, this provides a corrosion resistant layer that is fused to the base metal. The use of resin materials is ideal for filling blow holes and porosity as well as for low cost pattern making techniques.
