Welder in Rochester
Steelwork and welding for a city's worth of old houses, done with the care they have earned. Free quotes, no obligation.
Working in Rochester
Rochester keeps more history per street than anywhere else on the Medway: the Norman castle keep, a cathedral begun in 604, and a High Street of Georgian and Victorian buildings that Dickens wrote into his novels.
Houses of that age were not built for open-plan living, so opening them up is steel work, and it is steel work that has to respect the building. Old brick, shallow foundations and nothing square: the beam gets made to the house, never the other way round.
Steel and welding for Rochester
Beams and posts for knock-throughs and loft conversions in the terraces and townhouses, with the adjustable steel legs, the props, holding everything safe while the opening is cut. The engineer's schedule, his list of sizes, followed to the letter, because in an old wall there is no room for nearly.
Handrails and balustrades for steps and stairs, welding repairs to gates and railings that have stood for a century, and one-off metalwork for buildings that were never standard to begin with.
