Fenland Ironworks Ltd
Blacksmiths & Welders in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 February 2018
“I purchased an 8" galvanised Fleur obelisk with ball and cage in 2016. It is incredibly well built, very robust (excellent welding) and will retain its beauty for many many years. It sets my garden off and looks amazing in the summer when it is adorned with a large flowering clematis. I did a lot of product research before coming across Fenland Ironworks and nothing came anywhere close in terms of quality and appearance. I am writing this review in February 2018.”

“Bex Simon designed a small gate for our front porch and the result was spot on. We knew we wanted something organic and including elements from our wedding flowers and she took those rough ideas and came up with a fantastic design. The whole process, from design to fitting, was easy and enjoyable. Our neighbours tell us they are jealous of our gate and we love the fact we have something so personal to walk through every time we enter our home.”
