COMMERCIAL | PRIVATE | MANUFACTURE | REPAIR

Metal spraying worn areas and grinding back to standard size provides a salvage scheme that can keep the most precious machines alive.
Our extensive welding service includes Mig/Tig/Gas/Arc all carried out by our coded welders.




Manufacturing

Sometimes repairing a component is not an option and a replacement part is not always available.

Manufacturing a one off component for a lot of today's engineering shops is not cost effective and therefore they would not entertain that type of work, however with our combination of traditional and modern day engineering capabilities a one off component or large quantities is within our capability.

With over 60 years experience and a very versatile machine shop adapting to the ever increasing customer demands is taken in our stride.
