Services
Sheet Metal Fabrication
We provide precision sheet metal fabrication from fractions of a millimetre to whole metres in scale. Our capabilities include tubular frames, box sections, and enclosures using aluminium, stainless steel, and mild steel. With CNC machinery, laser cutting, and press brakes, we produce components to exact specifications. Our engineers consider material properties and manufacturing constraints during design to ensure optimal production efficiency and product durability.
CAD Design
Our CAD design services transform concepts into production-ready models using 3D software. We import drawings from various formats and optimise designs for manufacturability, considering bend loss and tooling constraints. The digital models generate precise tool paths for CNC machines, ensuring accuracy and material efficiency. We support clients from initial concept through to production programming, enabling faster prototyping and reduced costs through digital optimisation.
Welding
Our welding specialists select appropriate techniques balancing speed, strength, and quality for each project. With extensive shop-floor space, we handle materials of all sizes using MIG, TIG, and spot welding methods. Our welders combine practical experience with ongoing training to maintain high standards across structural frameworks and precision components. Quality is assured through inspection protocols and adherence to industry-specific requirements.
Finishing Processes
We offer comprehensive finishing services including engraving, graining, plating, polishing, and silk screen printing. Our capabilities enhance both functional properties and aesthetic qualities through corrosion-resistant coatings, textured surfaces, and precision markings. In-house powder coating and wet spray facilities provide durable protective finishes while maintaining tight lead times. We advise on optimal finishing solutions based on environmental exposure and performance requirements.
Electronic and Mechanical Assembly
Our assembly service integrates electronic, mechanical, and hydraulic components into complete products. From initial design considerations to final testing, we ensure all elements function cohesively. We handle wiring, hydraulics, and complex sub-assemblies with quality checks at each stage. This comprehensive approach reduces supply chain complexity for clients while maintaining traceability and adherence to specifications throughout the assembly process.

SSM are so friendly and helpful. I fell off my bike at high speed and bent my crank arm inwards, they let me borrow a huge length of pipe to bend my crank arm back out successfully. More recently I had a metal fender for a cruiser bicycle tab snap off (common fault on these) and SSM fixed it for me free of charge, I expected the paint to be damaged (SSM did also) from the weld, but it came out so neat and tidy, very good job. Absolute legends, simply can't go wrong!

Having spent more than 20 years in industries which are highly reliant on sheet metal and precision components, I've used a number of Sheet Metal Specialists over the years with varying degrees of success. Imagine my delight when I discovered the outstanding levels of service, quality and resourcefulness which I enjoy with Stevenage Sheet Metal. We rely on their proactive approach, their reasonable and consistent pricing and their ability to get us out of trouble when we need it. We've called them at 2pm with an urgent 'out of the blue' requirement, and have been able to collect it at 4.30pm the
