A good finish requires effective preparation. Our shot blasting line removes rust and scale quickly and efficiently, delivering a high quality surface preparation which is ready for future treatment.

We operate two shot blasting lines, to offer a high degree flexibility for our customers. We have the capability to work with product with a thickness of just 8mm, right through to large scale steel sections measuring up to 18,000 mm in length.

Our water-based primer is fast-drying, ensuring that we can process your steel quickly. The process delivers temporary protection against corrosion for steel constructions and cast iron.

We can deliver your product unpainted (shot blast only), or finish it in a choice of red or grey.

Main sheering steel
Order as few or as many pieces as you’d like, and in a wide variety of thicknesses. Most of our stores are equipped with ¼” x 10” hydraulic shears that cut aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel and a variety of types of steel. Our shears produce a straight, clean cut – no need to worry about burred edges or uneven cuts. Our professional, highly-trained staff will ensure the metal is sheared to your exact specifications
Machine water cutting steel
Water Jet Cutting equipment expels water and an abrasive substance such as Garnet at extremely high-pressures. This method is extremely precise and is often use to cut machine parts or pieces made of metals that might be highly sensitive to high temperatures used through other methods.
Machine plasma cutting steel
Plasma Cutting works by having an inert gas blown at high speed. An electrical arc is simultaneously created through and around the gas being blown, forming plasma. This plasma is hot enough to cut metal very quickly and precisely.
Machine plasma cutting steel
Laser cutting gives a precise edge finish and can perform tasks such as cutting, shock hardening, welding, heat treating and annealing. Laser Cutting involves the uses of a laser to cut several pieces of metal, often steel sheets. Laser cutting often leaves a high-quality finish on steel and metal surfaces.
Drilling metal

If you want a high-quality drilling solution then our advanced machines are the solution. Drilling is available on both the horizontal and vertical plane of long products in one pass. Whilst holes are being tapped, milled or countersunk. Material can also be cut/mitre cut to length as part of the same process. This integration of processes reduces overall costs and lead times to delivery. We can put a wide range of holes in your steels from 12mm to a 50mm hole.
