Welding cast iron to steel

[restorer]

Does anyone know of a company or individual in the north London area who can do this?

I have a job from a customer that is beyond my capability. It's a steel bed-head with a cast iron dovetail bracket that slots into the side rails. The frame has cracked at the top of the bracket on one side, so the whole lot will need to be welded together if possible, to give it some strength. I have a photo but there is no point in showing it as it doesn't really help. But I know it's a specialist job.

If someone can give me a name so they can take it to show them, and see if it can be repaired. That would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

^ Thanks, that's a bit of a way from here but I may get back to you. The customer is in the Hornsey area.

Here is the photo for what it's worth. Bed Head

It was taken on a phone so not the best quality. As far as I know the frame has cracked around the top of the cast dovetail.
