What we fabricate

Metal Fabrication for Components of All Shapes and Sizes

Bespoke components

One-off and batch-produced components made to your drawings - brackets, plates, cleats, base plates, gussets and connection details.

Tubes & sections

RHS, SHS, CHS, angles, channels, flats and plate cut, drilled, coped and welded into finished assemblies.

Frames & assemblies

Welded frames, supports, stands, gates, railings and machine bases fabricated and trial-fitted before dispatch.

Fabrication from drawings

Send CAD files, PDFs or marked-up sketches. We work to your tolerances and flag anything that needs clarifying before cutting.

Site welding & alterations

Coded welders available for site welding, modifications and repairs when components need adapting on the job.

Finishing options

Primer, red oxide, galvanising and powder coating arranged to suit the environment the component will live in.

Standards in the workshop

How we work

Every component we fabricate follows the same disciplines, whether it is a single bracket or a full batch of welded assemblies.

Drawings reviewed and queries raised before any cutting starts
Fabrication to BS EN 1090 EXC2 with coded welders
Components checked against the drawing before finishing
Primer, galvanising or powder coating to suit the job

BS EN 1090 EXC2 certification, welder coding and insurance documentation is available on request for tender packs.

    We check the drawings, raise any queries on tolerances or details, then issue a clear, itemised price.

  3. 03

    Cut & prepare

    Tubes, sections and plate are cut, drilled and coped to size, ready for the fabrication bench.

  4. 04

    Fabricate & weld

    Components are assembled and welded to BS EN 1090 EXC2 by coded welders, then checked against the drawing.

FAQ

Common questions

What steel fabrication services do you provide?+

We fabricate bespoke steel and metal components, tubes, sections, frames and assemblies from your drawings. That covers cutting, drilling, coping, welding and finishing, plus site welding and alterations where the job needs it.

Can you fabricate from my drawings?+

Yes - fabrication from drawings is the core of what we do. Send CAD files, PDFs, schedules or even clear sketches with dimensions, and we will confirm the details, flag any queries and price the work before we cut anything.

Do you take one-off bespoke components as well as batch work?+

Both. We regularly produce single bespoke components - a bracket, a frame, a support - alongside repeat batch work for contractors and manufacturers who need the same part made consistently.

What materials and sections do you work with?+

Primarily mild steel in all standard sections - RHS, SHS, CHS, angles, channels, flats, beams and plate. If your project calls for stainless steel or aluminium, mention it in your enquiry and we will confirm.

What standards do you fabricate to?+

Fabrication is carried out to BS EN 1090 EXC2 with coded welders, so our work is accepted on structural and commercial projects. Certification and welder coding documentation is available for tender packs.

How quickly can you turn a job around?+

Send us your drawings with the date you need the components and we will give you a straight answer on lead time with the quote. Urgent one-off items can often be turned around quickly when the workshop programme allows.
