And we can provide a complete service on projects from architectural features (such as gates and railings, windows, verandas and canopies, roof lights and domes, balustrades, staircases and balconies) through to complete architectural structures (including iron bridges, conservatories and glasshouses, bandstands, and fountains), wind and watermills, and historic machinery.
The Boat House, Cliveden, National Trust
Dorothea carried out the conservation of the 160 year old iron roller shutter.
Restoration of 17th century strong box
It not very often you get the opportunity to restore an object with so much history and stories to tell. The strong box forms part of the C. Hoare & Co history and the transfer of gold and coins across oceans and dirt roads.
Bishop Montague's Tomb, Bath Abbey
Dorothea Restorations had the privilege of working with Peter Meehan ACR on the restoration of the historic railings around the Montague Tomb. The conservation of these railings form a part of the significance the Abbey has played in Bath's long heritage and the history of the Abbey.
