We Are Experienced Kettle Manufacturers

Newey and Bloomer Ltd has been the esteemed British manufacturer of the Simplex kettle since 1903. With a heritage dating back to 1850, the company excels in crafting exquisite copper kettles, including the Beehive Balmoral, Kensington, and Beehive Blenheim models. Each Simplex kettle is handmade by skilled craftsmen in Birmingham, West Midlands, using traditional hand-spinning techniques that have been refined for over a century. These kettles are celebrated for their authenticity, durability, and timeless design, proudly bearing the "Made in England" hallmark. Newey and Bloomer Ltd also offer kettles designed for AGA and Rayburn stoves. The Buckingham kettles are noted for their rapid boiling capabilities and elegant craftsmanship. Newey and Bloomer Ltd continue to uphold its legacy by producing these iconic Simplex kettles, ensuring excellence in every piece.

How Our Kettles Are Made?

For over a century, Simplex Kettles by Newey & Bloomer have been the premier British brand for whistling, solid copper tea kettles. Manufactured in Birmingham, England, these kettles are crafted with world-class expertise passed down through generations. Only the finest copper and brass are selected, hand-spun into the traditional shape with a central seam for added strength and stability. Each spout is lined with tin and curved to ensure a smooth pour. Our kettles are also hand-lined with hot molten tin, creating a superior bond to modern electro-tin plating. The patented whistling lid, a hallmark since the early 1900s, continues to be manufactured to the same high standards, preserving the iconic whistle sound for future generations.

We Excel in Handmade Kettle Care

To begin using your Simplex kettle, fill it just below the seam, boil, and discard the initial water. This prepares your kettle for making tea. Slight discoloration after boiling is normal and can be wiped away with a soft cloth soaked in warm water. For regular cleaning of our kettle range, use a soft cotton cloth and brass or silver polish to maintain its shine, avoiding abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. It's important to steer clear of lemon juice or vinegar, as their acidity can damage the finish. Brasso is recommended for copper kettles, while Hagerty Silver Polish works well for silver and chrome-plated kettles. To descale, use a non-acidic descaler and avoid lemon juice or vinegar to protect the tin lining. Using filtered water can help prevent scale buildup and improve the taste of your tea.

When heating water, fill the kettle just below the seam to ensure safe pouring and proper whistling. On gas stoves, place the kettle over the center of a small burner to prevent flame damage. Our kettles are designed to work efficiently on medium heat, saving energy. Listen for the whistle and turn off the heat to prevent boiling dry, which can damage the lining. Avoid filling a hot kettle with cold water. For models like the Kensington, Highgrove, and Buckingham, the whistling mechanism includes a ball and valve in the spout, while Beehive kettles have a whistle that fits onto the spout.
