Our Integrated Precision Engineering Services

Every project follows a different manufacturing route. Some components require a single process, while others move through several stages before they are ready for use.

Our team reviews the drawing, material, tolerances, quantities and intended application to identify the most practical route from initial manufacture through to finishing and testing. Our services can be used individually or combined to keep each stage connected, reduce unnecessary handovers and maintain design intent throughout production.

Our CNC Cutting and Profiling Services

Our CNC cutting services produce accurate profiles from sheet, plate and prepared materials before components move into forming, machining, fabrication or assembly.

CNC Metal Laser Cutting Services

CNC metal laser cutting provides fast and repeatable profiling for sheet metal components, brackets, panels, guards and fabrication-ready parts. Our fibre laser cutting service supports a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, helping customers produce clean, accurate profiles for prototypes, one-off requirements and repeat batches.

CNC Water Jet Cutting Services

Water jet cutting uses a high pressure abrasive cutting process to profile metals and other materials without introducing a significant heat affected zone.

It is suitable for thick materials, specialist alloys and components where thermal distortion or changes to the material structure need to be minimised.

CNC Routing Services

CNC routing supports accurate cutting, profiling, pocketing and shaping across suitable non-metallic materials.

Our CNC bridge-type router can produce foam packaging inserts, protective component nests, patterns, panels, plastics and other routed parts for engineering and manufacturing applications.

Large-format Additive Manufacturing

Our CNC Forming and Sheet Metal

Bending Services

CNC forming services shape cut sheet and plate into practical components ready for welding, fitting, assembly or further machining.

CNC Sheet Metal Bending Services

CNC sheet metal bending uses programmed press brake control to produce accurate bends, folds and formed sections.

We support brackets, mounting plates, channels, trays, panels, guards, covers, enclosures and fabrication-ready components across prototype, one-off and repeat requirements.

CNC Machining Services

Our CNC machining services support precision components, prototypes, tooling, fixtures and production parts for demanding engineering environments.

Machining requirements can be delivered as standalone work or combined with cutting, welding, finishing and assembly through a wider manufacturing route.

CNC Milling

CNC milling removes material using controlled multi-axis cutting movements to produce accurate faces, pockets, slots, holes and complex component features. We support small precision parts, larger machined items, tooling, fixtures and components requiring further fitting or assembly.

CNC Turning

CNC turning is used to manufacture cylindrical and rotational components such as shafts, pins, bushes, spacers, sleeves and threaded parts.

The process supports consistent dimensions across individual components, prototype work and repeat production requirements.

5-Axis Machining

5-axis machining allows complex features and multiple component faces to be machined within a controlled setup.

This can reduce repositioning, support tighter relationships between features and provide a practical route for complex aerospace and advanced engineering components.

Our Welding and Fabrication Services

Our welding services support individual components, frames, structures, equipment, jigs, fixtures, trolleys, cradles and larger bespoke assemblies.

The most suitable welding process is selected according to the material, joint design, component thickness, application and wider manufacturing requirements.

TIG Welding

TIG welding provides controlled, precise welding for components and assemblies where finish, accuracy and heat control are important.

It is commonly used for aluminium, stainless steel and detailed fabrication work.

MIG Welding

MIG welding provides an efficient process for joining suitable metals across fabricated components, frames and engineering structures.

It can support one off manufacture, development work and repeat fabrication requirements.

MAG Welding

MAG welding is widely used for carbon steel and other ferrous fabrication work.

The process supports strong, repeatable joints across structural components, frames, equipment and larger welded assemblies.

MMA Welding

MMA welding provides a practical and adaptable welding process for suitable fabrication, repair and engineering applications.

It can be used where component size, access, material condition or operating environment makes other welding processes less practical.

Our Finishing Services

Finishing services can be incorporated into the wider manufacturing route, helping customers move from machined or fabricated parts to completed components and assemblies with fewer external handovers.

Metal Painting

Our metal painting services use controlled wet spray application to finish components, fabrications, assemblies and specialist engineering equipment. The process can support appearance, identification and environmental protection according to the agreed coating specification.

Metal Coating

Metal coating services support the application of protective or functional finishes to suitable components and fabricated structures.

Requirements are reviewed against the material, operating environment, component use and specified finish before the appropriate route is agreed.

Proof Load Testing

Proof load testing applies a controlled test load to suitable lifting equipment, handling structures, fixtures and engineered assemblies. Testing requirements are reviewed against the design information, intended use and agreed acceptance criteria before the test is carried out and recorded.
