Before and after of a pair of very sad gates in Sevenoaks . A lot of work , scrolls and collars , but pleased with the end results . Good for another hundred years or so !

Asked to try and repair a broken cast iron drain cover with sentimental value. Not exactly an invisible repair but pretty much as good as could be achieved !

Recently called on to repair the gates of a local Stately home, which had accidentally been damaged. As you’ll see, these now look better than ever .

Installed the smallest hand rail I’ve ever made today, helping a great “94” year old couple get up and down to their garden (Just to be clear, Jane on left isn’t 94!)

Just completed a table base for a customer who was very pleased with the result and wrote a very nice Google review. “My wife and I are having an outside coffee table top imported from Italy but no base is being supplied. I emailed numerous blacksmiths and forges locally to us in Sevenoaks and Peter was the only person to call me with some questions before quoting. Others either didn't reply or were widely more expensive.
We were in no rush for the base but Peter kept us informed as manufacturing progressed and it was completed within the timescale he provided.
Quality is excellent and you can really see the effort he has put into making this base for us.
We would 100% recommend and certainly would use Peter again for a similar project.”
