OUR PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED PROJECTS
Examples of some of our more regular work
WHITCHURCH, HAMPSHIRE
Two bells, Ex-Kidderminster, were rehung in a new fabricated steel bellframe which is fixed down to a concrete foundation. All the existing fittings were overhauled as part of the work.
DRAYTON, OXFORDSHIRE, 8 BELLS
All clappers at Drayton have undergone a comprehensive refurbishment. The refurbishment includes the manufacture of new staples, joint pins, and bushes, as well as lubrication points to ensure optimal performance. Furthermore, adjustable staples have been fitted to the back three bells to help with odd-struckness adjustment. Lastly, a new clapper has replaced the badly cracked original 2nds clapper.
Highworth Cemetery
At Highworth, we have recently finished a project where we replaced the old, decaying timber headstock and corroded iron straps that supported the bell with a new stainless steel headstock and stainless bearings. When we arrived at the site, we found out that the bell had already fallen onto the scaffold before our arrival. We created new fittings and applied a graphite polish to the bell, resulting in a polished and refined appearance.
Maidstone, All Saints, Kent.
We are proud to present our latest timber clapper designed and fitted to the tenor bell of the grand ring of Ten at All Saints Church, Maidstone. This innovative design allows the bell to ring up right effortlessly, producing a beautiful and harmonious sound that resonates throughout the tower. One local ringer has even described it as a work of art! We are thrilled to have contributed the rich history of this magnificent peal.
Wedmore, Somerset. 8, 30-0-5 in C sharp
An order was placed with us for a light overhaul of the ring. The bells now have new pulleys, new drawing pulleys, adjustable crownstaples and all of the existing clappers were refurbished. HDPE shafted clappers were also installed in bells 6, 7, and tenor. The result is a rather difficult ring of 8, TRANSFORMED!
Burnham On Sea, Somerset. 8, 22cwt Approx
Bells 2 and 7 have had their bearings and gudgeons replaced by us after the originals failed. The hang of the 7th bell has been altered to better fit the peal, and both 7th and Tenor received new timber shafted clappers. the 5th bell was also quarter turned with new bell bolts, and has a new SG Iron clapper.
Milverton, Somerset. 8, 17-2-12 in E
An order was placed with us for a light overhaul of the ring. The bells now have new pulleys, new ropes, adjustable crownstaples and all of the existing clappers were refurbished. The worn slider and runners have been replaced with our own steam bent sliders and hardwood runners with adjustable end stops. The ringers have reported back to us that the bells handle much smoother and are much easier to strike than they were before. Another good job done to a high standard!
