When to use
  • You need enclosures, brackets, frames or structural metalwork
  • You require castings in aluminium, steel or specialist alloys
  • You need cutting, forming or pressing in volume
  • You need finishing - powder coating, plating, anodising, heat treatment
What to look for
  • Capability for the material grade and thickness you need
  • In-house finishing vs. subcontracted (affects lead time and price)
  • Welding qualifications (BS EN ISO 9606, coded welders for regulated industries)
  • Quality systems - ISO 9001, EN 1090 for structural steelwork
Buyer FAQ

Common questions about Welding

Should I separate cutting, forming and finishing?

Most UK fabricators offer cutting, forming and welding in-house and subcontract finishing. A single supplier is usually faster and cheaper than splitting work.

What's the best process for low-volume enclosures?

Laser cutting plus bending is the default for prototype and low-volume sheet metal. For higher volumes, presswork becomes cost-effective.

How do I specify a finish?

Reference a standard (e.g. RAL colour for powder coat, BS EN ISO 7599 for anodising) and state any salt-spray or thickness projects.
