Metalwork projects

Metalwork replication for mainline railways stations is a growing sector of the business. Smaller projects include bespoke street furniture and signage - finger post signs, village noticeboards, town signs, columns etc.

In-house foundry and blacksmithing facilities allow Leander to produce bespoke architectural and decorative castings ranging from tree branches to wine cellar doors.

The range of products and materials are suitable for almost any environment – from seaside promenades, railway stations, nature reserves through to commercial property.

Design Service

Over the years, many aspects of the work have changed with the advent of computer design, laser etching, water-jetting, but old crafts such as hand-carving in clay are still practised every day. The dedicated team of engineers and designers will work with clients to produce beautiful designs within a given budget.

Manufacture

Materials worked

Leander’s products are manufactured in-house using high quality materials including aluminium, stainless steel, bronze and iron.

Glazing

The glazing systems used are of extremely high and robust specification, in a format that gracefully complements the designs.

Fabrication and assembly

A large fabrication and assembly workshop allows all but the largest structures to be completely ‘dry-run’ assembled before dispatch.

Royal Label Factory traditional signage

The Royal Label Factory has been incorporated into Leander Architectural in 1998.

The Royal Label Factory dates back to 1874 and has continuously worked with some customers since the 1940's.

The Royal Label Factory, concentrates on traditional signage and retains many of the casting patterns it developed in the 1930s for county and town council signposts and fingerposts.

Major elements of the workload include blue plaques for civic trusts and societies throughout the UK and signs of all kinds for heritage agencies - particularly the National Trust, Historic Scotland and Cadw-Welsh Monuments.
