JR Hills & sons recently built a fabulous, sturdy steel staircase in the tractor shed at Windsor Horse Rangers, a local children charity. Once the work was completed they told us that they had decided to donate the job to us for free. What a fantastic company! A huge thank you on behalf of all the children and volunteers.

After a nasty fall down the rockery my wife insisted we had rails put in place to protect us. We turned to JR Hill who had two years earlier provided a number of RSJs for our house modifications and more recently modified our balcony railings. We joined the queue and were pleased to get the call that everything was ready. Although a small job Shaun and his colleague did the installation quickly and without fuss. A pleasure to deal with.

JR Hill worked, with our builder, to provide steels for our small house but big project. They were efficient and friendly and the work was carried out accurately and to a high standard. We have used them in the past on more commercial projects too and I can't fault their service and expertise.

My wife and I were looking for a friendly, local, professional ironworks business to create a bespoke pond cover for our small garden pond in order to keep our twin boys safe from an unintended dip. The JR Hill team went out of their way to assist us and even though they were busy on other long term contracts they went above and beyond to find a way to come to our home to measure up, template, fabricate and install. The results speak for themselves and we are absolutely delighted both with the end product we received as well as the outstanding support and service given. We can't thank the JR Hill
