Our consultancy work is designed to help the client and professional team ensure their project runs smoothly from start to finish, with services including condition surveys, feasibility studies, conservation reports, repairs specifications, project costing and project management.
As contractors we can work on an unrivalled range of project sizes
and types. Whether as subcontractors or main contractors, we routinely deliver contracts of all sizes, from the repair of individual artefacts to
the restoration or building of complete new structures.
Dorothea Restorations' work can be found anywhere that demands the very highest standards of craftsmanship, from architectural features (such as gates and railings , windows , verandas and canopies , roof lights and domes , balustrades , staircases and balconies ) through to complete structures (including iron bridges , conservatories and glasshouses , bandstands and fountains).
And our specialisms extend across the entire range of traditional metalworking materials, including wrought iron (‘puddled iron'), traditional cast iron, steel, copper and copper alloys (brass and bronze), tin, zinc, lead and gilded / decorative finishes, as well as all associated carpentry, joinery and glazing.
