Services
Precision Machining
Our precision machining department provides emergency repairs for worn and damaged industrial components. Using advanced CNC equipment, we produce bespoke parts from samples or technical drawings. The service caters to automotive, food processing, and mining industries requiring tight tolerances and rapid turnaround times. Our capabilities include turning, milling, and grinding operations for both prototyping and production runs.
Gearbox Repairs
We specialise in complete industrial gearbox refurbishment and reconditioning services. Our process includes component inspection, replacement of bearings and seals, and precision reassembly. The service covers obsolete units from brands including SEW Eurodrive and Flender. We maintain strict quality control procedures to ensure refurbished units meet original equipment specifications while minimising client downtime.
Gear Cutting
Our gear cutting specialists handle all types including spur, helical, and worm gears. Using hobbing, broaching, and milling techniques, we manufacture replacement gears to exact specifications. The service extends to specialist applications requiring non-standard gear profiles. We maintain comprehensive tooling inventory to support rapid production of both single components and batch quantities.
Hydraulics Repairs
We provide full reconditioning for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders to original performance standards. Our service includes seal replacement, barrel honing, and shaft re-chroming. Technicians diagnose faults and implement repairs that extend equipment service life. We maintain technical documentation for legacy systems while supporting modern hydraulic installations across multiple industrial sectors.
Welding Services
Our welding and fabrication team works with steel, aluminium, and stainless steel to create custom metal structures. Capabilities include MIG, TIG, and plasma welding for both prototype development and production work. We offer complete design-to-installation solutions for industrial clients requiring bespoke fabrication solutions. The service includes material sourcing and compliance with relevant engineering standards.

Nu gears welded a 60+ year old broken cast iron part for me. I found them through a friend of a friend for this job. They showed me around and they have much more to offer. I was looking only for cast iron welding but found more!
Milling, surface grinding, turning and cnc. Friendly people!

Used Nu Gears for a breakdown situation, they were amazing. Me and the guys do not understand how they reconditioned the gearbox and got the production line running again. We asked them about the clients they work with and when we understood they are the breakdown engineering company for the likes of BMW we had no issues testing. Now setting up a maintenance contract. Thank you.
