  A top quality company offering top quality products and service. Always so helpful and responsive. Measuring and ordering a large porch is nerve-wracking but they were there every step of the way to talk us through it. The resulting large Regency light porch painted to order to match our windows is fantastic and has caused a stir in the village! It's a talking point and a unique feature in the area. Thanks to Mikaela, Deb et. al.

  I found FineIron via Google whilst researching a new porch for our house. It was a long search to find precisely what we were looking for, as there was so much to sift through to eventually home in on what we wanted. That was, essentially, a custom porch (due to the width and height restriction), visually appealing and high quality craftsmanship and materials. FineIron’s catalogue was an excellent start to the process in terms of understanding their products (standard and custom) and the process for measuring and ordering. I drafted a drawing of the main dimensions and sent it off for their review. We wanted quite a deep and wide canopy, but the canopy height is constrained due to protruding bricks on the wall it’s fixed on. I had a number of outstanding questions and was able to have a couple of telephone calls with FineIron to go through them. That gave me lots of confidence that we were in safe hands and demonstrated their experience and capability. They then produced professional drawings with multiple elevations so I could check everything properly before committing to that specification. Manufacturing then commenced and I acknowledged the ‘long’ lead time was due to pandemic challenges with raw material supplies, as well as understanding that the porch was all being hand-made and that required time to do it properly. Delivery: the products were superbly packaged and protected. There weren’t any issues whatsoever. I planned the installation using the drawings and guidance provided by FineIron. The main highlights of the installation, other than simple fitting with nuts and bolts, were: (1) construction of some concrete pads for the granite pad stones to sit on, (2) brick bolts for fitting to the house wall, (3) expanding foam tape between the canopy and the house wall, rather than using sealant, and (4) it was essential to have both a friend helping with lifting and fitting the canopy, and a small scaffold gantry rather than just step ladders. Installation took two days (14-16 hours) and like all these jobs, that would take less than a day the second time around. I’d say you need to be a competent DIY person to take on the installation job! Throughout the process Deb and Mikhaila have both been exceptionally helpful and very easy to do business with, and it’s been a positive customer experience for us. As I mentioned earlier, it took us a long time to find what we had in our mind’s-eye view and we’re very pleased that FineIron has perfectly achieved that.

  Can't fault Fineiron in any way. From turning our initial rough sketch in to a proposal through to keeping us inform on production and then delivery it was just what you what when ordering a once in a lifetime bespoke item. The production and finish is reassuringly high quality when investing in something which will last a lifetime (and beyond!).

  I have worked with fine iron for a number of years, they are one of the few metalworkers that understand the geometry used in stairbuilding, as a handrailer using tangent handrailing, I can produce the parts in the workshop and fit them directly to the core rail without having to alter them. Should you require metalwork for geometric stairs these are the guys to use.

  We recently had a canopy made by Fine Iron for our back door. The ordering process and staff were excellent & very supportive of creating our design. The final product was delivered on schedule and to a very high standard of craftsmanship. We are very pleased with the canopy and would recommend Fine Iron products to anyone. Thank you!

  Hello, I am the site manager on a high end new build in Nottingham. Fine Iron were chosen to fit the staircase which had already been started before i was appointed. The stairs were highly complicated as it is of a spiral design starting from the basement through to the top floor, thirty three steps in total. Due to some issues with the previous building contractors i found many problem to which i was faced with. I spoke to Lee to express my concerns which could have proved extremely difficult to overcome as the staircase had actually been made, Lee gave me the confidence that it would work even though some of the building work had been done in the wrong order which is often the case when customers are pushing. Three of Lee's guys turned up to start with the fitting and i had a word with them all as i needed certain things done in a certain way to fit with the curved apron around the landings to give me the required overhang in all the right places. i was impressed that the guy's listened and took notice of my requests and didn't just go crashing in. All in all the fit time was about a week. There was one small problem to a piece of handrail that i wasn't entirely happy with and Ben, one of the fitters took this piece back to the workshop and did a first class job in rectifying the problem. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the job and the way the men conducted themselves on site, i was really pleased that Lee worked with me and resolved the small issue that many jobs like this can occur. I would highly recommend Lee and his first class team to manufacture anything for your bespoke plans and i would like to say thank you to all at ''Fine iron'' and wish you well in the future. Kenneth Talbott.

  We are very pleased with the verandah that was made for us by Fine Iron. Deb Stephens and the team were very helpful from the start when we were applying for planning permission and then working with our architect to design our Victorian verandah. We visited Fine Iron's factory in lovely Brecon to discuss our detailed requirements before placing our order. The verandah (and balustrade) was made by Fine Iron to plan and delivered on schedule. The verandah was delivered in parts and was constructed by our builder without any problems. The end result is a beautiful and well made structure that we believe suits our property perfectly. We thank and recommend Fine Iron.
