Measured once, made right, fitted
Putting a new machine into a food unit, a boatyard shed or an energy sector workshop in Lowestoft? We survey, make the steel in Norwich, then arrive with everything needed to set, level and anchor it.
Lowestoft, Suffolk, about 27 miles south east of Norwich by the A146.
Machine moving in Lowestoft
When the workshop is 27 miles away, the measuring has to be right first time.
Machinery installation in Lowestoft covers a wide mix: food processing lines, marine engineering kit at Oulton Broad, and workshop plant for the offshore wind operations around the port and PowerPark. For each we survey the floor and the way in, build the base or frame at our Norwich workshop, then bring it over with the install crew.
Be clear on the split of work. We look after the mechanical and steel side, and your electricians or the machine supplier look after wiring and commissioning. We are happy working beside either. A weight, a footprint drawing and a few photos of the floor and doorway get us started. Hired plant is booked where a lift needs more than jacks.

Survey, fabricate, install
A visit to measure, or good drawings from you, comes first. Then a free estimate, with the price agreed between us before a start date is set.
On the survey we check slab condition, door sizes and floor falls, which matter in wash down areas. On the day the machine is jacked up, skated to the agreed marks, packed level and anchored with fixings chosen for the floor and the maker's drawing.
Food and marine jobs often call for stainless steel. We TIG and MIG weld base frames, guards, access steps and pipe supports in mild or stainless steel, trial fit where we can, then deliver.
Taking on a bigger unit on South Lowestoft Industrial Estate? After your engineers isolate and disconnect, we lift the anchors, move the machine by road with suitable transport, and set it up again on a checked floor.
Fewer trips, less downtime
A line in Lowestoft cannot sit idle while a contractor drives back for a missing bracket. So we make and check the steelwork first, load spares, fixings and welding plant, and agree with your team which hours, nights or weekend the area will be ours.
Worth knowing: Lowestoft is divided by Lake Lothing and the harbour, so tell us which side you are on and how a lorry reaches your door. With the bascule bridge and the Gull Wing crossing to think about, we plan delivery and any hired crane route ahead.
Please send hygiene rules, induction times and permit to work details with your enquiry. RAMS are written for the job before we travel.
A line down in Lowestoft
A fractured conveyor support, torn bracket or cracked frame can close a line or a slipway. We offer 24/7 call out for repair welding on site in Lowestoft. On the phone we will ask what broke, what it is made of, and about access and power.
We are about 27 miles away, so we will give you a true arrival time, not a hopeful one. The first job is to make things safe, then we agree the full repair. The number is 07495 409006, day or night.
Emergency welding, LowestoftLowestoft and the coast
We travel to Lowestoft from Norwich on the A146 through Loddon and Beccles. The port, PowerPark, South Lowestoft Industrial Estate and the boatyards and marine trades of Oulton Broad are all within reach, and the crew that fits your steel is the crew that welded it.
Carlton Colville, Pakefield and Kessingland are covered on the same trip. If you also run a site in Great Yarmouth or elsewhere in East Anglia, tell us, because factory machinery installation at both can often be planned together.
