Blacksmiths for the Traditional and the Contemporary
Welcome to Classic Forgemasters. Specialists in both the restoration of historic metalwork and the design and fabrication of new architectural ironwork. We can restore your Victorian cistern to original likeness, or build traditional fencing, ground up, for your period property.
Our work encompasses all areas of metalwork, old and new, informed by decades of experience among our team. If you think we can help with your project, please contact us today.

Our Principles
FAITHFUL RESTORATION
We understand the delicate balance between restoration and replacement. Where possible we salvage whatever we can of the existing metalwork and thus conserve it for future generations. This is really where our experience shines, as the characteristics of all materials vary with age and each must approached uniquely in order to salvage as much as possible.
SYMPTHETIC REPLICATION
If the metalwork is beyond safe repair then we can replicate design as well as the manufacturing technique to match new with old, preserving the identity of the piece.
TAILORED CRAFTMANSHIP
Every project varies and every client has their own tastes and specifications. We will work with you to understand your personal requirements, providing you with a product you are completely happy with.
PASSION
Our work follows our passion for what we do, crafting metalwork to last for years to come. This has real meaning to us, as it has to the blacksmiths before us. We hope for all our work to outlive us and last for generations.
