Gates, railings and door hardware, forged one piece at a time by three smiths, and fitted by the same hands that made them.
Mild steel bar goes into a coke fire at 1,250 °C. We read the temperature by colour, the way smiths always have: cherry, then orange, then straw.
Hammer blows on the anvil taper the end, about forty to a heat. When the colour drops below orange the bar goes back in the fire, never forced cold.
The tapered end is rolled over the horn, then closed on a scroll jig. Every scroll on a gate is matched by eye to its pair.
Dressed, wire-brushed and finished in beeswax and linseed, or hot-dip galvanised and painted for the street. Then we fit it ourselves.
Garden, side and drive gates, hung on forged hinges and collars. Automation available.
Street railings and balustrades, matched to period patterns or drawn new.
Knockers, pulls, thumb latches and strap hinges, waxed or galvanised.
Listed ironwork surveyed, dismantled, repaired by fire-welding and re-fitted.
