Thetford makes food and goods round the clock, and its factories need steel fitted without the line standing idle for long. We build it in Norwich, bring it down the A11 and install it in the hours that suit production.

Thetford, about 30 miles south west of our Norwich workshop down the A11.

Welders and fabricators for Thetford

Steel fabrication for Thetford's factories and builders.

Our base is Norwich, not Thetford. The A11 is dual carriageway between us, so steel and welders reach you without fuss.

This is an industrial town first. Food producers and manufacturers on Fison Way, Brunel Way and Thetford Enterprise Park need machines positioned, levelled and bolted down, bases and plinth frames made, guarding and platforms added, and pipe supports welded in during a shutdown. Warehouses beside the A11 need mezzanines, barriers and trailer repairs.

Food sites have their own rules and we work to yours: inductions, hot work permits, hygiene zones, stainless steel near the product, and tasks booked into night or weekend windows. Builders and homeowners in Thetford, Brandon, Croxton, Mundford and Watton can order beams, stairs, gates and railings from the same Norfolk workshop.

How we work in Thetford

Three steps, planned round your shifts.

A stopped line costs money, so the order of work is settled with you well beforehand.

01 / Walk round

See the plant, agree the window.

We visit your Thetford site, look at the machine, the floor, the route in and the services, and ask when the line can stop. You get a free estimate and a plan showing what happens in which shift.

02 / Prefabricate

Made ahead in Norwich.

Bases, frames, guards, platforms and brackets are made and trial fitted at the workshop beforehand, in mild or stainless steel as the area demands. The more we finish in Norwich, the less time we spend inside your factory.

03 / Shutdown

Fitted while you are down.

On the day we arrive with skates, toe jacks, welding plant and the steel. Machines are moved, levelled and anchored, new steelwork is bolted in, and the area is left clean for your team to restart.

Eight services

Everything we offer is available in Thetford.

Machinery installation and steel erection suit a manufacturing town: lines put in, mezzanines and platforms put up. Behind them the workshop supplies structural steel, architectural metalwork, steel staircases and balustrades, and metal gates and railings.

Mobile welders carry MIG, TIG and MMA sets plus a generator, for factory floors, farms and yards on the forest edge. If a conveyor frame cracks at 2am, the emergency welding number is 07495 409006, answered day and night.

Thetford, asked and answered

Questions from the factory floor.

Can you work nights or weekends in our Thetford factory?

Yes. Out of hours work is normal on production sites and we plan it with you in advance. Give us your shutdown dates early, so the steel is made and waiting before the window opens.

Do you handle electrics on a machine move?

No. We do the mechanical and steel side: moving, positioning, levelling, bolting down, bases, guarding and platforms. Disconnecting and reconnecting power and controls stays with your electricians, and we work alongside them.

Can you weld stainless steel in a food area?

Yes, we TIG weld stainless pipework and frames. We follow your hygiene and hot work rules, and we screen and clean the area we work in.
