Cast Iron Column Repairs
Remanufacturing can save up to 75% of the cost of a new replacement component.
Cast iron columns are an impressive feature of Victorian architecture. They were a popular construction element in the 1800s, and many have proudly endured the test of time thanks to the inherent durability of cast iron.

Cast Iron as a Decorative Structural Support
Cast iron rose in popularity as a decorative, structural support during Victorian times. With the Industrial Revolution having a huge impact on the cost and availability of this powerful alloy, examples of cast iron architecture from this era are widespread. From bridges to lighting and weathervanes, there are intricate cast iron spectacles up and down the country.
Cast iron is a highly durable material that can withstand the elements admirably. In years gone by, it was a popular construction material for seafront structures like piers, bandstands, fountains and railings due to its resilience to salt water. Nowadays, of course, these heritage structures are often weathered and scarred by the tales of years gone by. However, they are valued structures of historical significance, requiring care and attention to bring them back to life and restore their structural integrity.
Expert Welding and Repair Solutions
At Cast Iron Welding Services, we specialise in the Gas Fusion Welding Process. Our technicians are experts in their field and can skillfully repair cast iron cracks and deterioration. The Gas Fusion Welding method uses a gas flame and filler material to fabricate the repair. This technique requires a high level of expertise and produces a uniform, stress-free weld with better properties than the original parent metal. Cast iron has many benefits; it is extremely durable, resistant to corrosion and has a high compressive strength. However, it can be a challenging material to repair as it is brittle due to the high carbon content.
The team at Cast Iron Welding Services is proud of our track record in restoring heritage items. Our genuine interest in historic preservation and conservation overflows into our work, and the results are tangible. Every item we restore is meticulously planned to replicate the original piece accurately. Our clients can trust in our attention to detail and high standards of workmanship.
