Shepley Engineers was founded in the late 1940s and has been working in highly regulated environments, delivering projects to the highest quality standards, ever since. We have developed our breadth of services through both acquisition and organic growth and now operate in the Nuclear Engineering and asset care, Decommissioning and decontamination, and Restoration and renovation sectors.

Restoration and Renovation - Shepley became established as a specialist restoration and conservation contractor in 1985 when we completed a major iron project on the Grade 1 listed Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane, London. Since that time we have been engaged as the specialist contractor on numerous large high profile restoration schemes as well as a vast array of smaller private commissions.

Historic Metalwork Conservation Company Ltd (HMCC) was established by Peter Meehan to provide care and conservation advice to all those charged with the care, management and preservation of historic metalwork in all its various forms, but with a particular emphasis on historic ironwork. From historic iron structures to individual museum objects or collections.

HMCC's primary aim is to provide specialist advice to all those who have responsibility for historic metalwork in both the public and private sector. Services include the preparation of condition surveys and reports, conservation specifications, conservation budgets, maintenance programmes and guidance on collections care and metals conservation.

Dorothea Restorations provides the care and maintenance of architectural ironwork, and the conservation of historic structures and industrial heritage. We deliver a unique and comprehensive range of conservation, repair and restoration services across the UK.
Our engineering specialists apply the traditional skills and craft to the creation of new-build architectural metalwork and the reproduction of missing elements in historic settings.

Our crafts team work with a wide range of materials including genuine wrought iron, cast iron, steel, copper and copper alloys (brass and bronze), tin, zinc, lead and gilded/decorative finishes, as well as associated masonry, carpentry, joinery and glazing.

Our work can be found anywhere that demands the very highest standards of craftsmanship from architectural ironwork features (such as gates and railings, windows, verandahs and canopies, roof lights and domes, balustrades, staircases and balconies) through to complete architectural structures including iron bridges, conservatories, bandstands, fountains and glasshouses, and industrial heritage machinery (windmills, watermills).
