As a restoration and repair expert, I have 30 years experience working in the metalwork and restoration business. I have restored a large number of fireplaces and other cast iron and metal pieces, for both individual customers and companies alike.

As an experienced craftsman in all kinds of metal work, not only can I restore fireplaces but also stoves, grates, railings, spiral staircases and gates. I have also created many bespoke pieces including metal frame work for marble table tops, pond covers and even a balcony!

I have worked with SoloPark PLC (Cambridge), one of the largest reclaimed materials companies in the East of England. I was asked to restore anything from grates to spiral staircases - even a large bronze horse! Mostly though I refurbished fireplaces, including all of the stock in their showroom.

I undertook the restoration of a Victorian conservatory which the owner found under straw in an old barn, with a number of damaged parts. After the restoration it was exhibited at the Idea Home Exhibition as a show piece.

I also appeared on the BBC television program "Home front", working on the repair of an oven door and frame.

These are of course just a small selection of the interesting and challenging projects I have worked on over the years, please contact me to discuss your own restoration project in more detail.
