METAL FABRICATION FAQ's

This is a great question.

In all honesty we are metal fabricators, we enjoy fabricating all things big and small out of Steel, Aluminium, Stainless, Brass and Bronze. If it can be MIG'd TIG'd or stick welded we will get the job done, and done neatly.

We have designed our business to promote fabrication of more intricate works as we like to push our skill limits and learn new techniques. We are though equally understanding that every day metalwork needs fabricators and will never turn down mainstream work such as gates and railings and household staircase projects.

Drop us a call if you have a metal fabrication job you'd like us to take a look at

But don't worry if your not on this list we would still love to hear from you

Yes

That is our primary objective, to supply our clients with bespoke / custom products

Yes

We have a 3D Modelling and Design Dept, who are ready to take you concept and turn it into real drawings that can be amended and changed until you have exactly what it is you want us to make

This part isn't likely to be the same for everyone. but this is the process we aim to follow.

1) Initial conversation and project outline

2) If you have a design and drawings we should be able to provide you with a quote for materials labour and delivery (If this applies to you go to 5)

3) If you don't have drawings or a design your "initial conversation and project outline" will be passed onto our Design Dept. They will asses the time to model and quote to draw up your project.

4) We will then expect you to pay for the design drawings before our team starts work on them.

Once design drawings are done you're and happy with them we can then quote for materials, labour and delivery.

5) From this quote you would be expected to pay 50% before we start fabrication.

6)The final 50% and delivery charges would be expected on completion and before dispatch.

*With larger, longer more intricate projects the labour payments maybe broken down into smaller chunks and split over the production time

We like to take on projects in the following materials:

Steel (inc. Corten)

Aluminum

Stainless Steel

Copper

Brass & Bronze

We offer:

Raw left material

Brushed Metal

Mirror polished

Hand Painted or Oiled

We completely understand the issues today's client's have, time pressures, your client's lack of decision making leading to tight turnarounds.

We have a wealth or experience in fabricating and know how to not waste time (and your money) on slow methodology and design. Therefore the only main time constraints we have to face is delivery (if required) of bespoke elements out of our remit . i.e specialist materials. specialist cutting and folding or elements that have to be bought in.

Once we have the go ahead from you and the parts are delivered we're swift and neat in our fabrication turnaround.

Both Jamie and Phil have a wealth of sculptural and artistic fabrication work under their belts, over 20 years specifically in bespoke sculpture.

Jamie has an background in theatre and production managing, and has worked in multiple fabrication jobs from industrial metalwork to roles as "Senior" fabricator covering multiple material mediums to provide the clients desired outcomes. He has undertaken many projects as project manager to help facilitate clients getting their concept through fabrication and into the public realm.

Phill has made metalwork by commission, and sold many sculptures of his own design, he has also taught welding for many years, currently at Plumpton college. He also runs experience days to allow those unfamiliar with metal fabrication to have a go and walk home with a metal creation they have made themselves.

Rob Fung has worked in the world of large industrial sculptural metalwork for over 15 years and couldn't be a better person to know how get the ball rolling with your projects concept, design and technical drawings
