About

Three generations on the shop floor.

Metal Magic is a family-run workshop in Eversley with 125+ years of combined metalwork between the people who run it. We've been at this long enough to know what we can save, what we can make, and when to tell you straight.

The workshop

Busta Farm. Eversley.

The workshop sits behind the Heritage Motor Works sign at Busta Farm on Brickhouse Hill. A small space with a long memory. The same anvils, the same vices, the same benches that the first generation worked at. Modern welding gear sits alongside traditional tools because the craft uses both.

It's not a big place. That's deliberate. Capacity is finite and we'd rather do one job properly than three of them in a hurry. Which is also why we don't take on work we can't finish well.

The people

Handed down on the workshop floor.

Three generations of metalworkers, and a combined 125+ years between them. The craft has been passed down here the way it always was. Not in a manual, but standing next to someone older showing you how to read the metal.

The youngest of the three brought the family forward into work older generations might not have touched. Film props, museum pieces, bespoke commissions. The older two kept the foundations: tank work, frame repair, the things that never go out of need.

What you get when you bring work here is all three sets of hands deciding how it's done.

"We won't promise what we can't do. And we'll take on what others won't."

The two rules

How we work

Two rules, both meant.

01 / Rule one

We take on what others won't.

The awkward jobs. The unusual one-offs. The pieces other workshops sent away. Most of the time there's a way through. And the answer is more often "yes" than "no."

02 / Rule two

We won't promise what we can't do.

Sometimes the right answer is "this isn't worth saving" or "this is beyond what we can finish to the standard you'd want." We'll tell you straight away rather than waste your time and money.

03 / Bonus rule

The phone is the quickest route.

Forms are fine. Photos help. But a five-minute call usually saves a week of back-and-forth. Pick up the phone if it's quicker.

Want to talk it through?

Phone, drop in, or send a photo.

We'll come back with an honest read.
