Our Quality Policy
All our products are inspected by us when they arrive at our depot and prior to
despatch to the customer. In the case of cast iron, we dress each air
brick or plate individually and hand finish to remove all burrs and excess
material prior to packing.
Cast iron is especially vulnerable to cracking if subjected to impact so we
inspect each item for cracks and any defective items are disposed of. We allow
for a small amount of deviation in the finish of cast items (as opposed to
machined items) but discard any items with significant faults.
Our hit and miss vents are tested to ensure they work and move easily between
open and closed positions.
If our products require painting, we apply one coat of primer followed by two
coats of black gloss acrylic and a final coat of acrylic gloss lacquer . Items
are then left at least 24 hours for the lacquer to cure before packing. The
painting on our cast iron air bricks and grilles will require regular
maintenance and items we supply painted should only be regarded as cosmetically
finished. To prevent rust forming customers will need to regularly repaint
grilles.
We do not import any of our products.
We source all our products from UK companies and the vast majority of our
products are made in the UK , we should stress that a small number of the items we sell
have been been made in non UK foundries. Products must pass our own and
our customers high standards regardless of where they are made - rest assured
the items we sell made in foreign foundries are at least as good, if not better
than UK made goods.
Although we are not an ISO 9001 company we understand how important quality is
and seek to exceed the expectation of each and every customer with the products
we sell. We have supplied air bricks to well known companies, many of
which are household names and our grilles have been installed in especially
sensitive buildings around the UK. Please see our client list and examples of
some of the restorations we have supplied cast iron grilles for
