The Cast Iron Reclamation Company, founded in 1991 by John Bodrell, is a UK-based enterprise specializing in architectural reclamation and design. John's passion for antique architecture and design, coupled with his expertise as a plasterer specializing in heritage surface coatings, led to the establishment of the company. His notable work includes the refurbishment of Prestbury House in Hampton Court, a project that involved sourcing and managing reclaimed materials, laying the foundation for the company's future endeavors. The company's mission centers on supplying high-quality architectural antiques to both individual homeowners and multinational corporations worldwide. Their extensive inventory includes items such as beams, joists, flooring, doors, ironmongery, and antique cast iron radiators. By preserving and repurposing these materials, the Cast Iron Reclamation Company contributes to the conservation of architectural heritage and promotes sustainable building practices. In addition to their reclamation services, the company offers bespoke design and joinery solutions. With an in-house joinery workshop, they refurbish and repair reclaimed antiques and create custom pieces that complement their architectural finds. This combination of restoration and bespoke craftsmanship allows them to meet the unique needs of their clients, ensuring that each piece integrates seamlessly into its new environment. The Cast Iron Reclamation Company operates by appointment only from their warehouse located at Hazeldene Farm in Cobham, Surrey. They also have a sister company, The Vintage Fridge Company, founded in 2009, which specializes in the refurbishment and supply of original "Ice Boxes" and vintage refrigerators. This expansion reflects their commitment to preserving and revitalizing historical pieces, offering clients a diverse range of reclaimed and restored items that blend functionality with historical charm.
