Your Trusted Partner for Precision Engineering Solutions
Bill Quay Precision Engineering & Fabrications was established in 1988 by four former Marconi employees and has since been led by two apprentices who trained under those original toolmakers and fitters. We relocated to larger premises and invested in advanced CNC machinery to deliver a comprehensive range of engineered components. Our team combines traditional engineering principles with modern technology to meet the evolving demands of the engineering sector. We prioritise continuous improvement and training, from apprenticeships to experienced tradesmen, ensuring our ethos remains embedded in every project. Specialising in CNC and manual machining, toolmaking, fitting, light fabrication, wire erosion, and design, we work with materials ranging from plastics to super alloys, maintaining tight tolerances in both diameter and length.Adherence to industry standards has earned us a strong reputation, resulting in repeat business from valued clients. Our diverse equipment portfolio supports one-off components or large production runs, offering flexibility and efficiency. We pride ourselves on being a owner-managed, trustworthy company committed to timely delivery and competitive pricing. With decades of combined experience, we provide end-to-end solutions from design and prototyping to project-managed manufacturing and delivery.

Services
Turning
Our turning services utilise advanced CNC lathes and manual equipment to produce precision components with diameters ranging from 1mm to 500mm. We handle one-off prototypes or large batch production, ensuring tight tolerances and high-quality finishes. Clients benefit from our expertise in working with diverse materials, including plastics and super alloys, to meet exact specifications.
Milling
We offer milling capabilities up to 1m using Bridgeport VMCs and manual machines, supporting complex geometries and tight tolerances. Our equipment accommodates both small-scale and high-volume production runs. Clients receive consistent quality and rapid turnaround times, backed by our team's decades of machining experience.
Wire Erosion
Our wire erosion (EDM) services cut materials up to 180mm thick using precision Fanuc Robocut machines. This non-contact method ensures accurate cuts for complex shapes in conductive materials. Clients rely on us for intricate components where traditional machining may fall short, with guaranteed dimensional accuracy.
Fabrication
We provide full fabrication services, including MIG, TIG, stir, and welding for all materials. Our capabilities cover prototyping to large-scale production, supporting bespoke structural and mechanical components. Clients benefit from our skilled tradesmen and adherence to industry standards for durable, precision-engineered solutions.
Grinding
Our grinding services handle components up to 800mm in length and 300mm in diameter using surface and cylindrical grinders. This ensures ultra-smooth finishes and exact dimensional accuracy for critical applications. Clients trust our team to deliver high-precision parts for industries requiring strict compliance with engineering tolerances.
