In a world of generic builds, our cast iron pavement lights and historic frames truly stand out — handcrafted from authentic Victorian moulds by one of England’s five specialist companies, and among the few globally.
First introduced in the late 1800s to bring natural light into basements and vaults beneath London’s streets, we proudly continue this tradition by fabricating, restoring, and installing cast iron frames across London and the UK, including our unique glass block pavement lights.
We offer full replacements for damaged or outdated frames, ensuring complete site installation, sealing, and adherence to council compliance for London’s vaults.
Our NRSWA-accredited team efficiently manages licence applications, facilitating seamless street works.
Each project is customized to reflect the building’s history, replicating traditional patterns, glass sizes (100mm x 75mm or 100mm x 100mm lenses), and frame details — while enhancing the durability and waterproofing of our pavement lighting to meet modern standards.
From Oxford Street landmarks like Selfridges and Levi’s to heritage theatres such as The Royal Court and The Adelphi, our pavement light glass blocks match historic weights and loading limits — trusted by conservation officers and architects.
We specialise in the restoration, repair, and replacement of cast iron pavement lights and vault lights. Many original units suffer from corrosion, cracked lenses, or water ingress. Our services include:

Replacement of missing or broken glass using matching prisms or pavement light glass blocks
