I do not have a drawing. Can you still quote?

Yes. A sketch on paper with rough sizes, or a photograph of something similar with a measurement written on it, is enough to start. We draw it up properly and send it back for your approval before anything is cut.

Is there a minimum order for a one-off?

No. Single pieces are normal work. A one-off costs more per item than a batch, because the setting out and the drawing happen once either way, and we say so in the quote rather than hiding it.

Can you match something already on site?

Usually. Send photographs with a tape or a ruler in the shot, and the sizes of the part it has to meet. Matching an existing profile exactly is not always possible, and we tell you before you order rather than after.

Do you design it for me?

We draw what you describe and advise on what will and will not work in steel. We do not provide structural design, and anything load-bearing needs your own engineer's drawings and calculations.

No. We make it, coat it and deliver it ready to fit, with the fixings specified. Fitting is arranged by you, which keeps the cost down and the lead time short.

How long does it take?

Typically two to three weeks from the day you approve the drawings to the day it is delivered. Repeat orders on a design we already hold are faster. If you have a fixed site date, tell us at enquiry stage and we will confirm whether it can be met before you commit.

Drawings are kept confidential. Ordering regularly? Trade customers

Work that exists once, made properly. A drawing is ideal, but a sketch on paper or a photograph of something similar is enough to start, and we come back with dimensions and a price before anything is cut. Architects, designers, builders and homeowners use us for the piece that has no catalogue number: a screen to fill an awkward opening, a frame around an existing feature, a handrail that has to follow a wall nobody built straight. We make it, coat it and deliver it ready to fit.
