THE PERFECT TOUCH
E
stablished 33 years ago in October 1982, Touch
Ironmongery is one of London’s leading ironmongers.
Originally called “A Touch of Brass”, the firm changed
their name in 2003 in reaction to slowly advancing
market changes in architectural ironmongery which is no
longer supplied solely in brass, and to also reflect the broader
range of products and finishes that they sell. Touch occupy their recently refurbished showroom at 210
Fulham Road, Chelsea, where they display a vast range of
their 5,000 products. With a customer base including Interior
Designers, Builders and individuals who are interested in the
top end of the Ironmongery market, Touch mainly supply
to residential premises but hotel and office properties also
contribute to their vast clientele.
In fact today, Touch can supply a wide range of finishes
including Brass, Satin Brass, Polished Chrome, Satin Chrome,
Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Copper, Bronze -solid and
plated, BMA, Antique Brass, Black, Pewter, Ceramic, Leather,
Stainless Steel, Satin Stainless Steel, Gun Metal, and the list
keeps growing. Whatever finish you require, Touch can help
you get the right look. The company also have a healthy export market to all
corners of the world, namely the Middle East, Europe and
the Americas. Touch’s owner and founder, Bill Benham,
has 33 years’ experience in the ironmongery trade, as do
his colleagues Jim Haselup and Alan Blanchard. Saleem
Qureshi is the newest member of our team and has 10 years’
experience, meaning their knowledge is unrivalled in this
industry.
The range of products supplied by Touch date from
circa 1640 French (Louise XIV) and cover all subsequent
periods (Georgian, Edwardian & Victorian), art deco and
contemporary pieces also make up the product ranges.
In addition, Touch showcases the very best of British
manufacturing; the best ranges are still produced in the
Midlands by craftsmen in factories dating back 200 years or
more. Touch also sell European manufactured goods which
is considered to be of a very good quality and in recent years
they have introduced some of the far eastern made products,
albeit in a limited range but cost effective. With trends
continuously evolving, new innovative products are constantly
under development. Touch understand that keeping up with
the fashion-shifts is imperative in order to provide every
customer with the best solution for their requirements.
Ironmongery can be a difficult and complicated aspect of a
building project, as a result Touch aim to take this awkward
aspect and make it user friendly and clear to understand
by offering an on-site service where they carry out a
detailed door by door, window by window, room by room
Ironmongery schedule, highlighting all requirements and
identifying any items that can be refurbished. Refurbishment
is a large part of the business; Touch will undertake complete
ironmongery refurbishment projects, and can restore old
paint covered door furniture to their former glory, looking as
new, at a fraction of the cost to replace.
