Expert Metal Fabrication Services
Established in 1986, Ryeford Engineering has built a reputation for excellence in metal fabrication across Gloucestershire and beyond. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification underscores our commitment to quality management systems, ensuring precision in every project. With 25 years of experience serving clients like Andy Ward of Lister, we specialise in laser cutting, CNC punching, and TIG/MIG welding for materials including steel, aluminium, and copper. Our 10,000sq ft facility houses advanced machinery such as 3kW laser cutters and 170-ton folding equipment, enabling tolerances within 0.2mm. We offer tailored solutions from one-off prototypes to large-scale production runs, supported by in-house CAD design and kanban inventory systems.Our team's expertise in sheet metal rolling, polishing, and finishing delivers mirror, satin, and bead-blasted surfaces to exact specifications. Serving industries from pharmaceuticals to oil, we maintain free delivery within Gloucester, Cheltenham, Bristol, and Swindon. Our investment in high-tech equipment reduces costs while maintaining quality, with a minimum order charge of 30 for setup efficiency. Backed by 35+ years of operational history and a skilled workforce, we guarantee 100% customer satisfaction through rigorous quality control processes.

Services
Laser Cutting
Our 3kW laser cutting system achieves 0.2mm tolerances on steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and brass. This non-contact process ensures clean edges with minimal material distortion for complex shapes and profiles. Ideal for prototyping and production runs requiring high accuracy across various metal thicknesses.
CNC Punching
High-speed CNC punching creates flat components and 3D forms like louvres and embossed logos at 300 hits per minute. This cost-effective method suits batch production with consistent quality. Capable of complex geometries while maintaining tight tolerances for industrial applications.
TIG & MIG Welding
Certified welders deliver MIG, TIG, and silver solder welding for structural integrity. Our processes meet ISO 9001:2015 standards, producing clean welds on steel, aluminium, and copper. Suitable for fabrication projects requiring strength and aesthetic finish in both thin and thick metal sections.
Sheet Metal Rolling
NC-controlled rolling forms metal sheets up to 2m wide and 12mm thick. Capable of cylindrical and conical shapes in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and copper. This process supports large-scale production with consistent curvature for industrial enclosures and structural components.
Metal Polishing
On-site polishing achieves mirror, satin, or bead-blasted finishes using dedicated equipment. This enhances corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal for architectural and industrial applications. Complemented by local powder coating partnerships for protective and decorative coatings.
