Architectural & Heritage Castings

Maybrey has been producing castings for the built environment for over a century. We have worked on some of the most significant heritage buildings and public spaces in the country, producing bespoke ironwork, architectural fittings, and restoration pieces that must match the original material and character of a building precisely.

Notable Projects

What We Produce

The range of architectural casting work we undertake includes:

  • Heritage ironwork: railings, gates, balusters, bollards, lamp post components, grates, and bespoke fittings
  • Architectural bronze and copper work: door furniture, plaques, signage, and decorative elements
  • Restoration pieces: matching or replacing missing or damaged historic ironwork
  • New architectural work: bespoke commissions for new-build projects with heritage character

Working from Samples and Photographs

One of the most common challenges in heritage restoration is that the original drawing no longer exists. We are experienced in working from what survives:

  • A physical sample: we 3D scan it to produce a CAD model, spectrometrically analyse the metal to identify the original alloy, and produce tooling accordingly
  • A photograph or archive image: we can produce a working drawing and pattern from good quality photographic reference
  • A damaged or incomplete piece: we can reverse engineer the geometry and advise on the most appropriate approach
