All work is done to commission and whilst styles vary from the avant-garde to traditional, all projects are carried out to the highest standards making use of ancient wisdom in respect of techniques of construction. By using a wide variety of hot-forging and rolling processes, which radically change the section, surface and appearance of ordinary metal bar, our ironwork distinguishes itself by taking on a character of its own. In addition to this forging techniques allow us an unparalleled freedom in the design of our metalwork. We also work in a variety of metals " wrought and cast iron, mild and stainless steel, bronze, brass and copper included.

The blacksmiths craft almost died out during the 1970’s due to the increasing use of fabrication techniques. The craft has gone through a renaissance with demand for the unparalleled artistic expression that forge work offers and the need for skilled craftsmen in the refurbishment of heritage ironwork. Chris Topp & Co have gained an international reputation in this area and were awarded ‘The Industrial Diploma of Excellence’ company award from the Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths. This award is the highest award available for blacksmithing companies where more than one smith is involved in the design and construction of ironwork.
