Metal fabricators serving Lowestoft
Steel fabrication in Lowestoft, for port, energy and marine trades.
We will not pretend to be a Lowestoft firm. Everything is fabricated in Norwich, roughly 27 miles up the A146, and brought to you.
Britain's most easterly town still earns its living from the sea, in a newer way. Offshore wind operations and maintenance bases, the port and PowerPark all run on access steelwork: platforms, walkways, handrails, stairs and frames that must stay safe. Around Oulton Broad, boatyards and marine trades need cradles, trailers and yard steel made or mended.
Away from the quays there are beams and mezzanines to make for units on South Lowestoft Industrial Estate, and gates, railings and balconies for houses in Pakefield, Carlton Colville and Kessingland. Spray carries a long way inland on this coast, so galvanising or a paint system, which we can arrange, goes into the quote and is not an afterthought.
Mobile welding in Lowestoft
Getting steel to Lowestoft
Quoted, made and fitted in three steps.
A Norfolk workshop and a Suffolk site. This is how the two join up on a typical job.
Built under cover.
The job is welded up indoors from your own drawings or an engineer's. Platforms, stair flights and balustrade panels are made as sections that bolt together, so they go through a doorway or onto a quay with little hot work on site.
Down the A146 and fixed.
We load the finished steel, run it to Lowestoft and install it with our own crew. Long or heavy pieces arrive by HIAB. Once everything is bolted, plumb and level, we go over it with you before we leave.
Services
Eight services for Lowestoft and Oulton Broad.
Workshop made: structural steel, architectural metalwork, steel staircases and balustrades, metal gates and railings. Site based: steel erection, plus machinery installation for factories and workshops on the estates. Each has its own Lowestoft page.
Much of what a port town needs is repair. Our mobile welder turns up with MIG, TIG or stick plant and a generator, so a quayside or boatyard with no supply is no obstacle. Out of hours, emergency welding is one phone call to 07495 409006.
Structural steel fabrication in LowestoftLowestoft questions, answered
A few answers up front.
Do you work in Suffolk, or only in Norfolk?
Both. The county line makes no difference to us. Lowestoft, Oulton Broad, Carlton Colville, Pakefield and Kessingland are all around 30 miles from the workshop, close enough to visit, deliver and fit.
Do you weld boats, or the steel around them?
We are steel fabricators, not boatbuilders. For yards at Oulton Broad we make and repair what sits around the boats: cradles, trailers, trolleys, racking, gates and handrails. For aluminium, ask us and we will say what we can do.
How fast can a welder get to Lowestoft?
That depends where our vans are when you ring. Call 07495 409006, say what has failed and where, and you will get a realistic arrival time.
