Orchard Blacksmiths turned my ideas into reality, integrating my preferences into a stunning bespoke gate and railings. I have never been more impressed with such professionalism from start to finish from their listening skills, thorough collaborative planning, bespoke design and creation, to installation accurate to the millimetre. They were always on time, courteous, respectful, tidy and responsive with a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude. I found Orchard Blacksmiths via a internet search and they inspired me with confidence immediately. I thank my lucky stars that I chose them for my project and would never hesitate to contact them again for future work or recommend them to anyone. If you are also researching your options, you can stop here and rest reassured - they are outstanding in every way.

I had an internal window in a very old cottage stuffed with spindles which I didn't like. Finally I had an idea for an alternative - Mikey and team listened carefully to my ideas and created the most stunning installation based on a 3D cow parsley theme which fills me with delight every time I look at it and receives endless compliments from friends and family. Thank you all at Orchard Blacksmith!

Orchard Blacksmith worked with us to construct a handrail to make safe a drop from ground floor patio to our new basement level patio. They were thorough, offered lots of advice and design suggestions, listened to what we were trying to achieve and completely delivered. I am super happy with the work produced and feel wholly confident in recommending them to anybody else looking for blacksmith work. Thanks guys!

What our Clients are saying about us…

Harriet Tarnoy

Mikey and his team were fantastic. I was looking for someone local to create some bespoke hand rails to help with mobility in an apartment, and for them to be in keeping with the style of the property. These photographs show the end result, which we are absolutely delighted with. They are sturdy, practical and beautiful. The team are charming, reliable and clearly extremely good at what they do. I couldn't recommend Orchard Blacksmith more highly.

We originally commissioned Mikey and Andy to replace our rotten old timber balcony and exterior landing to the kitchen door with a galvanised metal version.

We discussed various designs with them and eventually settled on a beautiful handcrafted, bespoke organic bulrush design.

Their customer service, workmanship and attention to detail is phenomenal. We were so happy with the results, we immediately commissioned a matching Juliette balcony and steps up to the door at the front of the house.

We are delighted with the results. The whole house is improved by the beautiful metalwork, which is guaranteed for 100 years! It is so well constructed, it should outlast us all!

The whole experience has been so easy. They’re lovely guys and very professional, polite and reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Orchard Blacksmith are an excellent Company. Mikey Orchard is a lovely person with a skilled and professional team. Mikey listens attentively and then finds a solution to the problem. We had a narrow turning at the top of the first flight of stairs which was made more difficult by the position of a small but necessary banister. We wanted to be able to easily remove the banister when moving furniture up or down the stairs but at the same time the banister had to be secure when back in its position. We now have a banister which fulfills both functions. The second banister on the top floor was replaced and the new bracket attachment is both attractive and functional. A lovely detail. Extra stair rods were added to both flights of stairs and they are all beautifully aligned.
