When you ask us for your kiosk, you can have one in the most basic form or fully customized; the former is sandblasted and sprayed with two undercoats and two coats of genuine Post Office red paint (no glass windows but with new "Telephone" signs).
Further treatment is applied for any customization you require. Appropriate gear or fittings are installed by us. Delivery is undertaken anywhere in the world. The drinks cabinet is a very popular version and each one is delivered with a free bottle of 1983 Bollinger champagne.
When we adapt a phone booth to accommodate fish, the glass panels are replaced with 10mm armored glass.
The door is welded shut and then the inside is water–proofed with glass fibres. The roof is removable so that it can be lifted off for major cleaning operations.
However, the supply of these old kiosks is finite. Since 1988 when we bought ours, conservationists right the way across Britain have fought back with a considerable degree of success. As a result, only half the original number of kiosks given the death sentence in 1985 have disappeared from the landscape. The new British Telecom kiosks with their stainless steel and tinted, glass, may be easier to maintain, but the aesthetics are not the same. You can see they lack the rugged good looks and lineage of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott– kiosks.
Not surprisingly, British Telecom has cottoned on to this and sold some boxes by auction. So it´s probably fair to say that in a few years time all available kiosks not protected by a conservation order will have been sold.
For sale to you now, a little piece of traditional Britain and an excellent investment. Call us soon while stocks, as they say, last.
