Welcome to Simpson Refractories.


Simpson Refractories Limited was founded through the repair and maintenance of rotary cement kiln burning zones, where our dry lining speed, high standard of workmanship and 24-hour availability earned us a reputation for excellence which quickly spread to other companies with rotary kilns.

As a leading installer of refractories in rotary and shaft kilns our expertise is second to none. Whether it is cement, lime and aggregates, sand, lead, aluminium manufacturers/ processors or even bio-fuel boilers, our experience can save you time and money and we have a safety record which is 100%. Method Statements and Risk Assessments are supplied prior to the commencement of work and all personnel hold a valid Passport to Safety or CSCS equivalent.

Dry-lining, bedded and mortared brickwork are what this company's reputation was built upon and as technology has advanced, so has Simpson Refractories.

We have Brokk robotically-controlled demolition machines that dramatically reduce the manpower required for wrecking refractory brickwork, a process which is much safer and faster than the labour-intensive ways of the recent past, reducing down-time significantly and thus saving money.

Simpson Refractories also supply operatives for plant cleaning and maintenance

Lafarge Cement Award

Following the February 2012 shutdown, Lafarge Cement, Hope Works awarded Simpson Refractories a Shutdown CGIF - one of only two awarded for safety performance excellence and continued improvements.

We are proud to accept this award and can assure all our clients of the same high level of service and safety.

Recently installations have been completed in vertical shaft kilns, pre-heater cyclones, tertiary air ducts, calciners and clinker grate coolers.
