Stevenson Platers started in 1962 in London, founded by our grandfather with a simple idea: to restore and protect metal so it could be enjoyed for years to come. Over the years, the skills he learned were passed down through the family, from father to sons, and are still used in every restoration we do today.
What started with work for local churches has grown to include homes, collectors, and businesses across London and the UK. Every restoration is still handled by the Stevenson family with the same care and attention that has guided our work for over 60 years.

Our Story
How it Began
It all started in 1962 in London with our grandfather. He loved working with metal, taking worn or damaged items and restoring them so they could be enjoyed for years. He never rushed and never cut corners. Everything he worked on got his full attention.
Learning the Trade
Jimmy Stevenson began learning the trade as a child, watching his grandfather and getting hands-on from day one. He learned how to clean, repair, polish, and electroplate, but more importantly, he learned to care about every detail and take pride in doing the job properly. The skills and methods he was taught have been passed down through generations and are still at the heart of every restoration, enhanced with modern techniques where needed.
Still in the Family
Today, Jimmy runs Stevenson Platers, personally working on every restoration alongside other family members who share his dedication. Every item that comes to us is handled by a Stevenson family member, with the same patience, skill, and attention that has guided our work for over 60 years. What began with churches in London has grown to serve individuals, collectors, and businesses across the UK.
