The Ironart team restored the roof of a beautiful Orangery in Wiltshire. The tie bar plates had rotted away at the base of the arches supporting the glass roof. The original wrought iron sheet was rivetted, the team had to cut the rivets out remove them and make an accurate template using one good one. The team then had to shape, drill and bend a flange on the new plates; both right and left handed. They were then reattached in situ, ready to receive the new glass roof.
