    Darenth Valley Forge did a flawless job restoring a wrought iron support for an antique table. The job was done while I waited and for a price that was a much lower than a large London restoration company quoted me. Rhys is clearly a master of his craft and I'd recommend him highly.

    Made repairs to a pair of Victorian bench ends. Fantastic quality and a great price. If you did not know they had been repaired you’d never spot them. Fantastic work. Will be back soon with a couple of other projects

    Have just taken delivery of an order from Rhys at Darenth Valley Forge for some grab handles. We wanted something different from the usual disability shop type (why don't they modernise them). We are more than pleased with the work. Rhys came to our home, gave us a design and made them very quickly at a price very acceptable to us. Thank you and we thoroughly recommend Rhys. We're now in the throes of thinking about hand rails for our steep garden. Regards Rhys and may thanks. Ron and Lesley Further to the above, Rhys has just fashioned a great handrail for us to match in with the grab handles. Pleased, most definitely, we so highly recommend him.
