Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers to common questions about our workshop capabilities, on-site services, quotes, and project timelines.

Do I need technical drawings to get a quote?

No formal drawings are required. While we regularly work with detailed technical CAD drawings, we are equally happy to fabricate from rough sketches or simply discuss your general ideas over a coffee to develop a design that suits your requirements.

How much will my engineering project cost?

Because every job is custom, costs depend on the required materials, complexity of the metalwork, and labor involved. Give us a call or send across your ideas, and we will provide a clear, competitive quotation tailored to your specific project.

What kind of jobs can your workshop handle?

As experienced blacksmiths and general engineers, we handle everything from bespoke forged ironwork and gates to agricultural and plant repairs. If it involves steel or metal, we have the skills and tools to complete it.

Do you offer on-site repairs and out-of-hours callouts?

Yes. While we carry out extensive fabrication in our dedicated workshop, we also travel directly to your location for on-site welding, equipment repairs, and installations. We also offer out-of-hours service to keep emergency downtime to an absolute minimum.

How long will my project take to complete?

Project lead times vary depending on the scale and complexity of the job, as well as the immediate availability of specialized steel. When we provide your quote, we will give you an accurate and realistic timeframe for completion.

How can I prepare before contacting you?

Having rough dimensions, photos of the work area, or basic sketches to hand is always helpful, but not essential. Simply give us a call with an outline of what you want to achieve, and we will take care of the rest.
