He can create a piece of artwork for you that transcends traditional wrought ironwork, bringing beauty and functionality to your piece of garden art or home architecture. Using quality ironwork, galvanized for longevity, Dave can create imaginative ornamental structures for both house and garden including gates, railings, furniture, water features, wine racks, birdfeeder brackets and much more.

He can by arrangement visit you, carry out a site survey, discuss design ideas, provide proposals and sketches, create, finish and install bespoke pieces, that are not only organic and handmade, but will enhance your environment or increase the value of your property.
