Dorothea Restorations is an established specialist in the care, repair, restoration, conservation and creation of metal gates
and railings.
Working in both cast iron and wrought iron (also known as puddled iron or recycled wrought iron), we provide all the services required for the successful repair and restoration of traditionally crafted railings.

Our service for gates includes not only a repair and restoration service for the cast iron or wrought iron fabric of the gates, but also the specialist engineering skills required to work with the most sophisticated hinging and hanging mechanisms.

And wherever new but traditionally-crafted gates and railings are required, we offer a unique new-build and replication service for clients. Covering the complete process from design and manufacture through to installation, we offer a range of options which allow customers to find so the highest quality solution for any environment.

As well as fully bespoke solutions, our railings service includes the Buxtonia Conservation Railing System, designed specifically for conservation areas and other similarly sensitive locations. They system embodies traditional methods of manufacture and installation, with components being hot-forged and pinned and bolted together with no unsightly welding, all by our own skill blacksmiths. Hot-dip galvanizing ensures long life, and the system is available in genuine wrought iron if required. Click here to download more details on the Buxtonia Conservation Railing System.

Whether working in wrought iron (‘puddled iron’), traditional cast iron, steel, or a range of decorative and gilded finishes, Dorothea Restorations is the first choice for railings and gates.
