Our combination of Smart Technology and Sustainable Materials means we can get your products circular whatever stage they’re at.

We are here to redesign the way objects are made, so that the entire manufacturing industry can become more circular.

We have a vast pattern catalogue, with designs dating back to the Victorian era to ensure your bespoke iron work is in keeping with your property or project. We also specialise in recreating unique casting form your existing ones, enabling you to restore and regenerate any ironwork that may require repair and attention. We are also able to manufacture from your drawings, with the assistance of our pattern maker.

At The Loop, we work to turn waste into a force for good. Rather than leave unwanted furniture and appliances outside to be collected as waste and likely to end up in landfill sites, local residents can donate their items to The Loop. We offer free doorstep collection for residents, then repair, restore or upcycle them in our workshop, before selling them on at affordable prices. All the money raised from sales is reinvested in the workshop and in furniture restoration training for residents.

The Pembury Loop is located in large undercover carpark which was redundant for years prior to us reclaiming it. It’s home to our workshop and showroom and a 5 minutes walk from  Hackney Downs and Hackney Central stations. In our showroom you’ll find unique, lovingly restored and reasonably priced furniture.

We’re passionate about well-made spaces that stand the test of time and make you want to hang around a little longer. We bridge the gap between the designers and makers who push the boundaries to bring materials to life, for good.

Surface Matter work with some of the most exciting materials out there – from sheets made of recycled paper to colourful panels that rethink plastic waste. Our design-led surfaces have sustainable qualities and can be used in everything from retail and office spaces to kitchens or skate parks.

We support designers and makers by working through projects, sharing samples and information, discussing design criteria and material suitability, supplying the actual sheet material, offering technical and fabrication information and making useful connections where we can.

We’re committed to creating a zero-waste environment, simplifying the process of sourcing environmentally friendly, sustainable, ethically produced products, including bulk food, organic fruits and vegetables, household cleaning items, and personal care products.

We collaborate with local suppliers and customers to foster a cleaner, sustainable and ethical future. We proudly offer high-quality, organic, plant based, and biodegradable products.

We go far and wide, working with the best tile manufacturers in the world, to create and source new, innovative, and high-quality tiles using the latest manufacturing technology. Whether you’re looking for a functional refit or to create your dream home we’ve crafted a tile for you.

With 60 years of heritage behind us, our knowledge and expertise in tiling allows us to support you throughout your tiling project, providing trustworthy advice tailored to your needs. With over 300 stores in the UK, Topps Tiles is just around the corner and happy to help, giving you the confidence to redesign your home for you.

We also have a showroom full of sample books to choose from and offer a supply and fitting service. We pride ourselves on the bespoke service we offer to our customers and our quality, reputation and attention to detail.

We organise Wild Walks, take families camping, research the barriers that people face and find solutions to help  these barriers disappear. We campaign year-round so that children have the space and opportunity to get outdoors every day!

Based in East London and with fast access to all major routes and postcodes of London. We undertake all types of domestic and commercial glass repairs and installations. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the glass and glazing industry we can meet our customer’s requirements no matter how simple or challenging they may be.

This approach not only champions the art of repurposing but also raises awareness about sustainable materials, fosters community growth, provides valuable skills training, and opens up new markets for upcycled products.

Despite this rapid growth, our mission has always remained the same. We keep innovation, constant learning and exceptional customer support at the heart of what we do. We are building a world where affordable yet world-class innovation is available to all from a single access point, and we can’t wait for you to join us!

At Capital, passion, dedication and honesty, lies at our heart and this is clearly evident within our long established workforce and the strong relationships we’ve formed with our clients.

Many of our clients are amongst the UK’s leading architects, property developers and designers and have been with us since the beginning.

We’re a highly skilled team who simply love what we do and this shows in the care and attention we give to capture the essence of every project that comes through the door. We love helping clients and always go that extra mile to make ideas happen.

Because of the way we work and train together, there is a natural cross fertilisation of skills and techniques. This allows us greater scope of interpretation, making it easy to work to clients’ in-house styles, branding and finishes.

With experience comes discretion and we always respect our clients’ wishes. In doing so, we have only featured a small percentage of projects on this website.

We are a family owned business operating in London since 1983. With the largest variety of fabrics in Europe, from winter Wools to summer linens, you will surly find what you’re looking for.

We love vinyl but we don’t pretend that most vinyl setups sound better than an iPhone: they don’t. An iPhone is a pretty good front end. As is a DVD player, but just don’t mention the words ‘home cinema’ in here: let’s focus on getting the stereo right and we swear you won’t want Dolby surround and a bunch of subwoofers!

At the moment it’s just a one man operation, mainly on Saturdays. Almost everything in the room is a clean, working, usually serviced example, and the prices reflect that. Buying on ebay is fine (and we do get some things from there) but amps, speakers and record players can all have their problems. We have bought 4 unworking Sony PS-F9 record players in a row from ebay, all described as working fine… we’re rebuilding them, but we’ll end up with two. If you want to go that way please do bring us the repairs when they are needed! We’re happy to spend some time putting a system together for you that sounds sweet, looks great and holds its value (most of our things are established hi fi greats and easy to resell). And if something does go wrong later we can arrange repairs by the proper person at a reasonable price.

Commercial studio spaces set in an old joinery with a communal courtyard.

Basement bar serving cocktails, beer and wine in a warm, relaxed space with a vintage sound system with a gold standard certificate for waste management with First Mile. We try to endorse locality into everything that we do – from supporting local producers, to thinking in a circular way about building products and serving the community first.

We specialise in boards cut to size as well as being able to make bespoke units for all purposes and can offer a delivery service.

Each member of staff is qualified in one or more trades so with our vast knowledge of all things DIY related we are readily available and are always able to help.
