Heritage Craftsmanship for Modern Projects

With over two decades of experience in traditional sheet metalwork, I bring heritage-level craftsmanship to every project. From listed buildings to contemporary extensions, my work combines time-honoured techniques with modern precision.

My passion is work done right, with an obsession for detail. I don't push materials because I got a good deal on them — I recommend what's best suited for each specific application. I'm not a big company, and I don't aspire to become one. I simply want to enjoy my craft, earn a good living, and remain independent. What matters most to me is how my clients appreciate my work. I never return to fix poor workmanship because it simply doesn't exist with me. This is what makes me the most honest and probably the best solution for your project.

(This is what passion looks like. Apparently it looks a bit grumpy! I'm told I look friendlier after a cup of tea — but don't worry, the serious face comes free with every quote, the smile you'll see when the job's finished, and my work looks great either way.)
