Experience Makes The Difference
Architectural Cast Iron for Buildings and Public Spaces
Cerdic Foundries are one of the UK’s leading iron castings foundries with many years of experience in the design and manufacture of architectural castings. Castings can be personalised with names, anniversary dates and logos. One-off customers’ road signage and posts are available on request.
Over the years, we have worked with architects, artists, designers, sculptors and business owners by offering a comprehensive architectural casting solution.

Matching Original Castings
Most restoration work starts with a broken or worn original. Our pattern shop can produce a new pattern directly from an existing casting, allowing for the shrinkage that occurs as iron cools, so the replacement matches the original in size and detail. Where no original survives, we work from drawings, photographs or surviving sections.
We carry out pattern making, melting, sand casting, heat treatment, CNC machining, and finishing on site at Chard, which keeps lead times short and gives us control over the finish at every stage.
