Personal Projects

For more than 30 years, CSM has worked closely with clients to create bespoke solutions for individual projects from home renovation projects to bespoke furniture design.

We can work with you throughout the whole process from design to installation to take your idea or challenge and turn it into a custom, quality fabricated metal solution that’ll fit your intended function and space perfectly.

What we do

At CSM, we work across a range of personal projects for beautiful homes and unique spaces. Whether you’re looking for a specific fixture or fitting for a contemporary new build, or help with renovations that respect the heritage and aesthetic of a historical building, we can help. 

Sometimes off-the-shelf parts or products don’t fit your vision or requirement – or simply don’t exist. At CSM, we design, create and deliver the missing piece.

Taking quality sheet metals, we cut, bend, weld and machine materials to achieve specific forms, sizing, features and aesthetics. We provide an end-to-end process, collaborating with you to translate your challenge or vision into a workable design, and providing expert fabrication, delivery and installation. 

With bespoke metal fabrication skills, expertise and craftsmanship, we create custom metalwork solutions that fit, look and perform exactly the way you need them to.

Recommended materials for personal projects

  • SteelWe regularly work with stainless and galvanised steel in secondary structural fabrication projects to create structures like mezzanine floors and staircases. Strong, durable and versatile, steel can be used across a broad range of interior design projects, from metal kitchen splashbacks to bespoke countertops. 
  • Aluminium – Another widely used metal across all types of personal projects is aluminium. The strong yet lightweight metal is a go-to for adding structural integrity without significant weight. Its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for hardy exterior building features as well as interior use, while its malleability and flexibility makes it perfect for intricate designs and detailing.
  • Bronze – We often work with this characterful, browny-red metal to produce standout interior pieces, like door push plates, handrails and decorative trims. Bronze is strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant, making it relatively low maintenance, while its antimicrobial properties make it a perfect pick for eye-catching bars and countertops. 
  • Copper – Another darker, more rustic metal, copper brings a warm, welcoming feel to interior settings, whether it’s used for a standalone statement piece or throughout a space. Copper is a great choice for decorative fixtures and fittings, but its workability and flexibility means it can achieve very specific forms for complex projects. It can be polished up or left to patina and develop its own unique, changing pattern.

We also regularly work with brass, pewter, zinc, titanium, and can always advise on the best material choice for your application and budget.
