Services
Precision Machining
Our CNC turning and milling capabilities enable rapid prototyping and batch production of precision-engineered components. Using advanced machinery, we deliver high-tolerance parts for industries requiring exacting specifications. This service supports clients needing durable, repeatable manufacturing solutions for critical applications.
Laser Cutting
We cut complex metal shapes up to 20mm thickness with fine detail using high-precision laser technology. This non-contact method ensures clean edges and minimal material distortion for components used in safety-critical environments across multiple sectors.
Fabrication & Welding
From concept drawings, we create custom metal structures including tanks, platforms, and lifting frames. Our coded welding of dissimilar materials meets industry standards for applications in chemical, nuclear, and rail sectors requiring structural integrity.
CMM Inspection
Our UKAS-approved coordinate measuring machine provides dimensional verification of components to micrometre-level accuracy. This ensures compliance with technical specifications for safety-critical parts used in regulated industries like nuclear and rail transport.
Planned Preventive Maintenance
We implement scheduled maintenance programmes to minimise unplanned downtime for production equipment. Our engineers perform precision component replacement and system overhauls to maintain operational efficiency across manufacturing facilities nationwide.
