Following completion of the restoration work, we received a video from our customer showing the fountain flowing water for the first time in many years. Lovely to see!

A job we completed a few months ago in this beautiful house in a stunning location on the Isle of Mull.

We supplied and installed slate hearths, limestone surround with slips, and a full set of cast iron reeded panels. We also manufactured the cast iron plate shown in the installation.
This is to be a stove installed by a local stove installer

A few sunny days spent at Dalkeith Palace installing balusters made a nice change for the team.

We cast and installed 33 individual components to replace damaged and missing sections of the stair balustrade, including new balusters, cantilever baluster shoes, a newel post and a top handrail. The components were traditionally leaded into the masonry using molten lead to secure the castings in place, also carrying out some minor masonry repairs on the damaged steps.

As we didn’t have an original handrail pattern and removing the existing rail to copy wasn’t feasible , Seth 3D printed a pattern for us to reproduce in cast iron.

All components were cast in-house before being fitted on site by the team.

Surprising amount of work going on in this photo.

Brass casting, cast iron casting, milling, forge work, lathe work, blacksmithing, drilling and tapping — many hours ahead of us to get this next project completed.

Proudly using my partner’s late grandad’s Herbert’s screwdriver to assemble parts. He worked at Henderson’s Foundry in Kelso as a pattern maker for many years.

A sorry looking set of cast iron railings in Coldstream brought back to life. All the new railings and finials were cast by us in the foundry. We also restored the railings at the house next door around 8 years ago, and over the years have now worked on three of the properties in a row, including casting a bespoke house sign for one of them. It’s good to see another part of the street brought back to its former condition.

The hydraulic press coming into its own today, hot forging some 25mm legs and pressing cupped support plates. All tooling made in-house
