Due to the bespoke nature of our work most of the projects we take on require some form of product design or solution development. This process of development is worked through using CAD software to produce:

• Concept drawings and visualisations for approval

• Detailed drawings for signoff by your structural engineer (where required)

• Fabrication and assembly drawings

• Machine files

We have a capacity to produce both 2D drawings used in standard drafting and signoff processes and 3D models. Our 3D models can be used for visitation purposes such as VR or working through a 3D design with you on ZOOM, estimating weights and volumes, or to create machine files for both additive and subtractive manufacture.

It can often be challenging to take complex interior measurements for your project to fit perfectly with the existing architectural detail.

So that we can meet your needs without the normal limitations, we have invested in a large format 3D scanner. We can utilise this in projects such as spiral stair cases, contoured hand rails, etc.

Using a 3D scanner allows us to take a digital replica of your building interior. We can then bring this data into our CAD and machining process to generate bespoke solutions.

With real time visual 3D feedback we can verify and adjust projects to your specifications digitally before having to cut any material.

Tradition blacksmithing and hand crafted form work is where we started.

We can offer traditional hand forged items such as balconies, chandeliers, railings along with more obscure items.

Due to the unique nature of this process we recommend creating a sample relating to your project first.

We have capacity to form limited run steel in house working parameters:

• Max width 1270mm

• Max material thickness 6mm

Whilst we are not a dedicated machine shop we are able to provide small run lathe work.

Lathe work is generally utilised in the shop whilst providing solutions to fabrication your projects such as custom hinges or in the creation of bespoke components where stock parts are unavailable.

We have a variety of welding approaches to suit your needs utilising MIG, Tig and Arc we can weld just about whatever metal and thickness your project requires.

We generally specialise in one off projects that call for a detail orientated focus. However we are happy to look at production work where we think that we can add something to your project .

We have a large bead blasting facility. Enclosure working envelope:

• 2400mm (L) , 780 mmm (W), 340mm

• Material pass through access on both sides of unit for larger items.

Whilst most steel fabricators will not want to take on surface detailing preferring to send items straight to powder coat or the paint shop. We see the final detailing as an important stage of producing a completely hand crafted product from start to finish.

Generally we specialise in variations of a black oxide finish which can be produced in numerous shades, surface textures and with varying options around corrosion inhibition. We recommend producing a tailored sample set based on your individual needs prior to commissioning the final work.
