Services
Vehicle restoration
Specialising in classic car and light commercial vehicle restoration, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering techniques. Our services include structural repairs, mechanical refurbishment, and performance enhancements for vintage automobiles. With expertise dating back to our founding in 1997, we've completed numerous high-profile projects for private collectors and automotive heritage organisations.
Structural engineering
We design and construct structural steel frameworks for architectural and industrial applications. Our capabilities include load-bearing structures, entrance tunnels, and custom metal installations. Using CNC tube bending and advanced welding techniques, we create durable solutions meeting strict engineering specifications for both commercial and residential projects.
Decorative metalwork
Creating bespoke ornamental metal pieces from wrought iron gates to stainless steel displays. Our artisans employ traditional forging methods alongside modern fabrication tools to produce intricate designs for gardens, public spaces, and commercial properties.
Sheet metal fabrication
Comprehensive sheet metal processing including folding, rolling, 3D shaping, and English wheeling. We work with steel, aluminium, and other metals to produce components for automotive, architectural, and industrial applications using precision machinery and hand-crafted finishing techniques.
Powder coating
Providing durable, high-quality powder coating finishes for metal components. This electrostatic application process creates a long-lasting protective layer suitable for both functional engineering parts and decorative metalwork, available in various colours and textures.
