Dorothea Restorations was born from a love of the machines that helped power the Industrial Revolution – and that passion still runs deep through our business today.
Whether working with steam, wind or water technology, we have been involved in many of the most memorable projects in recent engineering and industrial archaeology.


Our work is carried out for museums and private organisations alike,
and covers the widest range of industrial and heritage engineering equipment, both static (beam engines, pumping engines, expansion engines and the like) and operating / locomotive engines.

We also offer the UK’s most comprehensive mill conservation service, having worked on more than 150 windmill and watermill restoration projects in recent years.
