Architectural Cast Iron Repairs

architectural cast iron repairsAbel Weld are able to repair or arrange replication of any architectural cast iron components for example on balconies, demarking the boundaries around gardens, or any other situation.  The cast iron detailing on Victorian homes is functional as well as practical and deserves at least a cursory eye over it every few years to check that damage is not eating away and causing rust.

Architectural Cast Iron Repairs in Eastbourne

There are many decorative iron railings to be found in Eastbourne, particularly when it comes to Victorian Mews Houses.  Many of the original architectural cast iron features especially cast iron railings around local parks were melted down in the War to make cannon and shot.  However there are many balconies and fencing examples of cast iron still left to be admired around Eastbourne, and also Brighton and Hastings areas.

The intricate cast iron designs are very beautiful but it’s quite a specialised task to repair them and it can be time consuming and messy work to clean all the tiny details.  Soap and water and a stiff brush will wash off dirt but to remove the old coating before applying new paint, Abelweld are able to use the latest techniques such as sandblasting to specific areas and re-weld or replace rusty portions.  Your cast iron railings will then need to be coated with Zinc rich primer and a thick black paint topcoat, to prevent weathering and rust.
