Not many people know this but, unlike the majority of steel fabrication companies, Denton-Powell
excels at bespoke structural re-fit refurbishments for period buildings - often when properties need
updating to the exact specifications of architects or structural engineers or reinforcing for safety
purposes.
Denton-Powell is renown for meeting every challenge, whether it’s smoothing over the sudden
complications caused by a massive sinkhole opening up on a city centre construction project to
reveal the previously undiscovered remains of a Roman town and Medieval church that brought all work
on site to an immediate standstill, or replicating intricate Victorian craftsmanship.

We were delighted to be involved in the bespoke refurbishment of this elegant Grade II Listed house
on the Dorset coastline when the intricate ironwork first-floor balcony was deemed unsafe because
the 19th Century timber sections were found to be rotten.
Our team produced drawings to illustrate the work involved and then fabricated exact replicas of the
rotten timber pieces in metal, which were carefully fitted so the end result appeared identical to the
original craftsmanship - as well as now being safe, sturdy and compliant with Historic England and
UK Building Regulations.
If anyone has a bespoke challenge for us, whether large or small, please email your enquiry to
sales@denton-powell.co.uk and a member of our team will endeavour to respond immediately.

Phil Champion, the patriarch of Denton-Powell, started as an apprentice welder fabricator in a factory that manufactured road surfacing machinery when he was 15 years old. 

To accommodate the growing business demands, we've moved to larger offices and workshops

We have recently installed a new pedestrian walkway in the heart of Salisbury. Our work included the demolition and removal of the unsafe public walkway that currently exsisted and to fabricate and install the new walkway across the river Avon. 

Working together with a local Orangery specialist, covering the South West, we fabricate aluminium roof structures for them to install as an alternative to traditional conservatories. 

We were recently instructed to supply a structural steel frame building for a local automotive company. We produced structural drawings and calculations for our customer and took this project from initial design through to construction.
