UKAA's youngest son Daniel has today been working on a new display board for our customers;
This display board showcases our four different finishes that we have available for both our Zinc items and our Copper items.
This will give you, our customer, a much better idea of how your table or worktop will look when finished.
As it is a natural product each piece of metal will vary slightly and the finish will change over time with use giving each table/worktop a unique finish with a lovely patina.
We are open 7 days a week so please do come and visit us and see our latest tables as well as our new display board!
To view our gallery with some more examples of our Zinc and Copper items as well as some of our joiners previous work please click here
Pictured above we also have a bespoke made Victorian board topped table which is a set of 6 matching tables that we at UKAA have just completed.
These tables are to be delivered to their new home next week where they will be used in a country pub.
We think the cast iron base on this table looks excellent with our reclaimed pine table top; both full of character!
If you would like this in your pub or restaurant please do let us know, we can make tables to suit your needs. please click here to see our previously made pub/restaurant tables.

UKAA have a fantastic selection of reclaimed Cast Iron Spiral Staircases available.
As much as stairs are very functional they can also be very decorative and an impressive part of a building and our staircases certainly are that!Spiral staircases were first created for use in towers of castles where their tight winding shape was a fantastic defence against enemies who found it extremely difficult to navigate up the staircase and were unable to storm the tower all at once instead having to travel up the stairs one by one.
These staircases are now very popular for the beauty and style that makes them a perfect conversation piece in the home or business, they are also a fantastic space saver making them perfect for a Cottage or even a loft conversion.
Less well known is the fact that the Eiffel Tower was first completed in 1889 with with only one way to reach the top; via a 1,700 step Iron Spiral Staircase:

We recently read an article in Countrylife which featured our Copper Planters at the beautiful Sissinghurst Gardens in Kent.
These gardens are owned and maintained by the National Trust; It is among the most famous gardens in Britain.
Within the gardens are our Copper Planters which are very popular in gardening as they tend to deter pests like slugs and snails and conduct heat so the soil heats up in direct sunlight.
These planters are useful for growing plants inside and outside and helping them to grow.
