Pillar boxes have been reclaimed and restored not only for use as it was intended when first made, but also examples have been used as a 'Laundry Shute'! However most pillar boxes that get rehomed are used to collect mail. When people visit our reclamation yard, the first thing many comment on is how much of the pillar box is buried in the ground, they’re positioned so that 6 inches of the black is visible at the base. In addition to this, most pillar boxes come with its original lock and key or some may have been fitted with new ones – so they’re fully functioning. The inside of the box is fully refurbished at this stage as well.Īll pillar boxes come with a pot of red paint so that you can touch up the paint after it has been placed into position. Simply let us know if you’d like the lettering in Gold or Silver.
Finally it is then hand painted in two top coats of post office red gloss. The post box is then painted using a rust inhibitor, then undercoated in a red oxide primer.We start by preparing the original surface ready for painting, by removing any loose paint and rust on the post box while keeping as much of the original paint and character as possible.
