A range of British made traditional ironmongery - Watercourt products are hand forged in the beautiful and rural setting of North Yorkshire using traditional blacksmith techniques.

Established in 2005, Watercourt recognise that there is a need for an affordable, quality alternative in the traditional, home produced ironmongery market. Mass produced, imported alternatives offer very little for the truly discerning traditional property developer or home restoration project, whether it be for single items or to furnish a whole property. We believe we can offer excellent quality hand made traditional door and window furniture and bespoke ironwork at truly competitive prices.

We offer a standard range of ironmongery in addition to our bespoke, custom-made items where our non-use of modern manufacturing techniques such as laser cutting offers us the flexibility to give customers exactly what they want at a competitive price. Standard designs can be easily adapted to suit individual requirements. Our range includes hand crafted hinges (T Hinges, full and half butterfly, H and HL designs), door and cupboard latches, pantry hooks, traditional and rustic window furniture, door bolts, door stays, pull handles, curtain poles, curtain hooks and bespoke wrought ironwork.

Fixtures and fittings are vitally important in enabling an old property to retain its character. Early vernacular fittings in particular have a unique charm and interest that is the product of their manufacture, their style and ornamentation, and their age. Their removal or replacement by inappropriate reproductions gives an immediate modern or fake feel to a house, even if its walls and roof are hundreds of years old.
