Moving into a bigger unit at Gateway 11, or adding a machining centre to a workshop off Ayton Road? We shift the machines, set them level, bolt them down and make the stands, guards and racking steel.
Wymondham, only about 10 miles south west of our Norwich workshop on the A11.
Workshop moves in Wymondham
An empty unit becomes a working shop the day the machines are level and fixed.
We provide machinery installation in Wymondham for the engineering and light manufacturing businesses along the A11, on Gateway 11 Business Park and the Ayton Road and Browick Road estates. Machine tools, saws, presses, ovens and assembly benches are brought in, lined up to your layout, levelled with care and anchored to the slab.
To be plain about scope, our work stops at the mechanical and steel side. Your electrician or the machine tool supplier connects power and air, then commissions. We plan our days in the unit around both. Let us have the machine list with weights, a floor plan and the door sizes. If a machine is too heavy to skate, a forklift or crane is hired.
Steel erection Wymondham
Fit out, equip, expand
Show us the unit or email the floor plan. Our estimate is free, and the price is agreed with you before moving day goes in the diary.
A lathe or machining centre only cuts true if it sits true. We skate it onto its marks, level it across the bed using the supplier's method and tolerances, then drill and anchor. New slabs on recent estates take fixings well, and we check older floors.
We fabricate machine stands, perimeter guarding, material racks, extraction and pipe supports and access steps at our Norwich base, ten miles up the road, and fit them once the machines are in.
Planning a move from Browick Road to Gateway 11? Your engineers disconnect power and air. We then unbolt each machine, load them in the order they will be needed, and place, level and fix them at the new unit.
Keeping orders moving
Small engineering firms cannot close for a fortnight to move. We can take a Wymondham workshop across in stages, shifting a cell at a time over evenings or a weekend, so some machines are always cutting while the others are on the back of a lorry.
Local note: the Hethel engineering cluster is a few miles from Wymondham, and work for that kind of customer tends to be precise. If your machine needs a particular floor flatness, isolation pads or a level checked after it has settled, say so at the start.
Give us the landlord's rules on floor fixings, your moving dates and site access hours when you enquire. RAMS are provided for site work.
When kit breaks in Wymondham
If a machine stand cracks, a guard is torn off or a handling frame gives way, production in a small unit stops dead. We run a 24/7 call out for on site repair welding. Let us know the fault, the material, your estate and the power on hand.
Our welder will make the area safe, then agree a proper repair and its cost with you. Running a machine on a cracked stand risks far more than a late order. Ring 07495 409006 to find out how soon we can come.
Emergency welding, WymondhamWymondham and the A11
Wymondham is the nearest town to us on the A11, so measuring up, dropping off a trial stand or returning to re-level a machine is a short journey. Gateway 11, Ayton Road and Browick Road are all minutes from the dual carriageway for the delivery lorry.
We also cover Hethersett, Hingham, Mulbarton and the Hethel area. Whether you need factory machinery installation for a whole new unit or one second hand mill set down in the corner, the process starts with a look at the floor and the door.
Steel fabrication in WymondhamWymondham installation FAQs
Yes. We plan the order with you, unbolt and move the machines, then position, level and anchor them at the new Wymondham address. Your electrician disconnects first and reconnects after, and the supplier recommissions if required.
We level to the method and figures in the maker's installation manual, using their jacking bolts or pads. Final geometry checks and calibration belong to the supplier's engineer, and we can be on hand to adjust.
Anchors mean drilling the slab, so check your lease first. We can use removable fixings, or make a steel base frame that spreads the load where drilling is not allowed. Holes can be filled when you leave.
Yes. They are all close to Wymondham and within a short drive of our Norwich workshop. A site visit is easy to arrange, the estimate is free, and steelwork made for the job is delivered by us and fitted by the same team.
