Customer Stories Across Six Industries
Established in 1770, Heaps, Arnold & Heaps Ltd is one of Britain’s longest-standing lead manufacturers. From our Rotherham site we manufacture lead sash weights, steel sash weights, lead came, radiation shielding, chrome plating anodes, tin plating anodes, anodes for cathodic protection, industrial solders and bespoke castings to UK trade customers across construction, healthcare, nuclear, marine, electroplating and heritage conservation sectors.
Many of our trade relationships span decades — in several cases multiple generations of the same family business. This continuity reflects what our customers value: consistent material quality, rapid technical response, flexible production capability, and the kind of long-term supply reliability that only a 250-year-old manufacturer can offer.
The case studies on this page feature customers who have chosen to share their experience. Many of our projects — particularly in NHS, nuclear and conservation work — are confidential, so the named studies represent only a small fraction of the work we do. If you’d like to discuss your project, our team would be happy to talk through the supply arrangements that would suit your business.
