Established over twenty-five years ago, we plan, design and manufacture to our own specification and precision new bellframes and all associated fittings along with re-furbishment work. Reports containing specification and estimates are prepared and forwarded to the customer following an inspection detailing all aspects of the project.

On site installation and hanging of bells along with other projects of a different nature are undertaken by ourselves, with sub-contractors engaged if required, to carry out other works associated with the contract.

Over the years we have worked on many wide ranging projects, below are a few examples of work undertaken by us. Click the thumbnails for a more detailed picture.
