Dowding Metalcraft or The Fire Grate Factory has been established more than 30 years, now the acknowledged leading manufacturer of it's famous range of reproduction fire grates and fenders, which are supplied nationally and internationally.

Our fire grates having been evolved over many years from designs researched from museums and antique houses from this county, Europe, and the U.S.A.
These grates were originally intended for a real life fire, but can all be converted.
The grates are individually manufactured by skilled craftsman in much the same way as the earlier originals, from the making of the brass and iron castings, the fitting, polishing, assembly and lacquering.
Our fenders are manufactured in much the same way as the originals. The Club type can be fitted with antique leather seats, coloured leather, buttoned, plain or in your own material. We also specialize in a range of Ball and Fret fenders, all of which are taylor made to your specification.

We also undertake small steel fabrication work.
