Expert Cnc Profiling Cutting in Andover, Hampshire

When it comes to structural work, 'near enough' isn't good enough. You need to know that the steel you're putting into a building is fully compliant. We're proud to be one of the few fabricators serving the Andover area that is UKAS-accredited to BS EN 1090-1. What does that mean for you? Well, we’re approved for Execution Class 2 (EXC2) structural steelwork. This means our materials, our processes, and our people are all independently audited to meet the strict standards required for buildings and bridges. When you get a base plate, a gusset, or a custom profile from us, it comes with the peace of mind that it's CE-marked and ready for inspection by building control. Why take a risk with uncertified metal when you can have the real deal?

Different projects demand different approaches. If you're looking for high-speed, crisp cuts on aluminium or stainless steel, our CNC plasma cutting is the perfect choice. It’s incredibly efficient for thinner sheets and ensures a high-quality finish with minimal distortion. But what if you’re dealing with heavy-duty carbon steel that’s several inches thick? That’s where our oxy-fuel cutting comes into play. It’s the workhorse of the industry, biting through thick plate with ease to create robust structural components. We handle everything from intricate architectural features to the massive base plates used in industrial warehouses. Whatever the thickness, we can profile it to your exact specifications, ensuring the 'kerf'—that’s the width of the cut—is accounted for every single time.

Nobody likes paying for scrap metal. One of the biggest advantages of our CNC profiling service is how we manage material waste. We use advanced CAD/CAM software to 'nest' your parts on the steel sheet. Imagine it like a giant jigsaw puzzle; we arrange the shapes so they fit together as tightly as possible, squeezing every bit of value out of the material. This doesn't just reduce waste—it lowers your overall costs. You can send us your own digital designs (we love DXF or DWG files), or we can help you translate a rough sketch into a production-ready file. It's all about making the process as smooth and cost-effective as possible for our local clients in Andover and beyond.

Andover might be inland, but being based in Southampton ourselves, we do a lot of work for the marine industry along the South Coast. We’re experts in cutting marine-grade 316 stainless steel and specific aluminium alloys that can stand up to the salty air. This versatility means we’re just as comfortable cutting specialized components for a vessel repair as we are producing hundreds of identical brackets for a local housing development. We support contractors, independent builders, and industrial engineers across Hampshire and Wiltshire. If you need it cut, profiled, and delivered with a rapid turnaround, we’re the team to call.
