Services
Welding & Fabrication
We provide bespoke steel and alloy fabrication services tailored to commercial and industrial needs. Our team utilises advanced techniques to create precision components, from structural beams to custom designs. With over 25 years of experience, we ensure every project meets exact specifications while adhering to CE compliance standards.
Powder Coating
Our manual powder coating process delivers durable, high-quality finishes for complex items up to 7.5 metres in length. We offer a wide range of colours and specialist options like sparkling finishes, alongside preparation services such as shot blasting and de-greasing to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity.
Hot Dip Galvanising
We arrange hot dip galvanising for enhanced protection against oxidation in harsh environments. This process creates a robust zinc coating that extends the lifespan of steel components, particularly recommended for outdoor applications like railings and structural supports.
Shot Blasting
Our shot blasting service removes rust and contaminants to prepare surfaces for powder coating. This critical step ensures a flawless finish by eliminating imperfections that could compromise durability, particularly for items exposed to moisture or heavy use.
Profile Cutting
We coordinate laser profiling and water jet cutting for intricate shapes and complex designs. This service enables the creation of detailed components with tight tolerances, supporting architectural, industrial, and decorative applications requiring exact dimensional accuracy.

We are continuing to trade despite what Covid-19 tries to throw at us. Appropriate signs and disinfectant sanitizer are positioned around the building and we are asking visitors to wear masks and restrict only one visitor in the office areas at a time. There is plenty of space in the factory areas, H&S PPE is additionally required if taken into these areas. Thank you for your support. Alan

Removed, shot blasted, and powder coated my large ornate metal gates, refitted and even fabricated new hinge brackets where old rusty ones broke during removal. Excellent quality, friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

The driver of their Crafter flatbed doesn't seem to have any regard for the highway code and drives like a lunatic. Not good when the company name is written across the van.

I have been using Alan and his workforce for over 2 years now on a job that was supposed to have run for 2 months. I've always found the level of work to be of an excellent standard, the fabrication and paintwork is always of the highest level.
Chris in the Paint shop is extremely knowledgeable and they have helped with customer queries on several occasions. Their pricing is competitive for the standard of work produced and lead times are always met when prearranged. I won't hesitate to use them as my powder coating source for foreseeable future.
