Customer Reviews
Front of house gate and railings.
Front Gate and railings fitted to front of house were perfect to what we wanted, Ian was very professional throughout and I would highly recommend him.
Gates and Fence
A fabulous job. They are well fitted and stylish. Much better than off the shelf design. Work completed efficiently. I am so pleased with it
Railing for outside garden steps
We’re extremely pleased with our new railings. Ian was very quick to respond to our request on Checkatrade and came out to view the job the same week (just before Christmas). We discussed the best design and Ian took into consideration the style of our house and came up with a sympathetic design which also ensured our steps were safe. Ian prepared well for the job and made a bespoke repair of railings for our steps managing to bend the rails to match the curve. He finished off with a coat of primer and top coat. We’re delighted with the results.
Installed a handrail down our garden steps
I am in Brighton and The Village Blacksmith provided an excellent service and installed a handrail down our steps. He did a lovely job in the time frame we needed and we are very pleased with the rail and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Ian came out and provided an excellent quote very quickly and was very business like at all times.
Work will not be undertaken as a third party has now admitted responsibility for the damage suffered and will be carrying out repairs themselves.
