  • Bespoke metal fabrication

    Phase 01

    Bespoke metal fabrication

    Bespoke fabrication packages engineered around the client's specification, programme and budget. We consult on design intent, advise on buildability and value engineering, then fabricate and install to drawing under controlled, certified workshop conditions.

    • Spec, programme & budget led
    • Buildability advice
    • Value engineering
    • Certified workshop
  • Mild steel, stainless and aluminium

    Phase 02

    Mild steel, stainless and aluminium

    A consolidated supply partner across mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium — full range of grades, gauges and finishes. Materials are sourced from approved UK mills with EN 10204 3.1 certification retained and issued with the project documentation pack.

    • Approved UK mills
    • EN 10204 3.1 certs
    • Full grade & gauge range

    Phase 03

    Coded welding to BS EN 9606-1

    All welders are coded to BS EN ISO 9606-1 and qualified across the principal weld grades. Welding is executed against documented Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), with NDT carried out as the project specification requires.

    • Coded welders
    • Documented WPSs
    • NDT as required
    • Principal weld grades
  • In-house CAD and detailing

    Phase 04

Why fabricate with us

Fabricated by the team that detailed and will install it

CAD detailing, BS EN 1090 EXC 3 fabrication, coded welding, protective finishing and on-site installation are delivered under a single accredited UK contractor — one project manager, one certification pack and full mill traceability across mild steel, stainless and aluminium.

Capability

CAD-led bespoke metal fabrication

An established track record in designing, fabricating and installing structural and architectural steelwork across the commercial, industrial and infrastructure sectors.

Design, CAD and fabrication outputs are formally reviewed and approved against the project specification before issue, providing the audit trail and traceability required by principal contractors and approving authorities.

Architectural

Balustrades, railings and access steelwork

Experienced in architectural metalwork — balustrades, railings, escape stairs and access steel fabricated in mild steel, stainless and aluminium. Designed to load specification, coordinated with the cladding contractor and finished to the architect's brief.

Trailers

Custom trailers, jigs and equipment fabrication

Design and fabrication of custom trailers, jigs, frames and equipment to client specification. From engineering brief through to delivery, units are fabricated under controlled conditions to the durability and compliance standards the application requires.

Welding

Coded MIG, TIG and MMA welding

Welding is undertaken on purpose-built welding tables to maintain dimensional accuracy across production runs. Coded welders deliver consistent, repeatable, specification-compliant results across mild steel, stainless and aluminium.

Suitable for commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications where weld integrity, NDT compliance and full documentation are non-negotiable.

Fabrication sits at the centre of every project — fed by CAD and AI take-offs, finished by coded welders, and dispatched by our own fleet. Explore the services that wrap around the workshop to deliver complete contracts.

Metal fabrication

Metal fabrication and structural steel under one roof

Our metal fabrication workshop handles structural steel frames, secondary steelwork, stairs, balustrades, plant platforms, mezzanines and bespoke architectural steel. Sections are cut on CNC lines, drilled to model, welded by coded welders and finished in-house before dispatch.

Because metal fabrication and structural steel supply sit in the same building, lead times stay short and quality stays consistent — no third-party fabricator, no handover risk between supplier and workshop.

From model to fabricated assembly

Each assembly starts as a 3D model produced by our in-house CAD team. Part marks, weld maps and material schedules all reconcile to a single source, then run straight to the workshop floor.

Certified and audited

All metal fabrication runs under our BS EN 1090 and ISO 9001 system, with CE / UKCA Declarations of Performance issued against every order.
