Why Choose Steelgram Sheet Fabrication
Need fabricated steelwork that actually fits when it arrives on site? Here’s what sets us apart:
- Precision that holds up under inspection. We fabricate to tight tolerances: ±0.005″ on flats, ±0.010″ on bends, ±0.020″ on welded assemblies. Lasers cut up to 1.00″ mild steel, 0.625″ stainless, 0.375″ aluminum, with edge finishes of Ra ≤ 32 μin. Our in-house team uses calibrated machinery to ensure a perfect fit during installation – no grinding on site.
- Fast turnaround, no excuses. Parallel production lines and large stock of UKCA-certified steel in 11-20 GA and structural sections keep things moving. Rush fabrication when required. We can react quickly when deadlines change.
- Lower cost through smarter engineering. Design-for-fabrication saves 8-15% on many jobs. Our nesting systems could cut waste by 12-18 lbs per 4×8 sheet. Tool change time: 3.2 minutes, around 40% faster than standard manual setup. You get transparent, accurate pricing without hidden extras.
- Engineering support that simplifies complex builds. We check every drawing for manufacturability before fabrication – bend radii (1× thickness for 5052-H32, 1.5× for 304 stainless), connection detailing, or tolerance stack-up. Working envelope: 48″ × 96″. That DFM pass ensures your structure installs cleanly on site.
- Over 50 years combined experience. Fully UK-based, UKCA-certified, and accredited to Constructionline Gold, CHAS Premium Plus, and Acclaim. We achieve 97.3% on-time delivery and under 0.8% rework rate. All work is done under full insurance – £10M Public, £10M Employers, £2M Professional Indemnity.
Decorative sheet metal can also be used as architectural cladding.
Our Process for Metal Fabrication
From concept to completion – here’s how we work with you.
- 1. Consultation & Quoting: We start by reviewing drawings, materials, and site requirements. Our five-point check covers material spec, routing, cycle time, tooling, and finish. You’ll get a full quote and design preview.
- 2. Engineering & Prototyping: We run your model through our CAD/CAM systems and structural checks before cutting metal. 3D scan accuracy ±0.003″, validated up to 10,000 mm² surface area. This process typically cuts field rework by 60%.
- 3. Fabrication & Finishing: All fabrication is completed in-house at our Sheffield facility. Lasers, press brakes, and coded welders handle parts up to 120″ × 60″ and assemblies up to 1,200 kg. Finishing includes powder coating (400°F cure, 2-4 mil film) and galvanizing to BS EN ISO 1461.
- 4. Inspection & Delivery: Every project is quality checked at multiple stages – AQL 1.0 per ISO 2859-1 and 10% dimension checks on runs over 250 pieces. Standard delivery: 7-10 working days; rush in under 2. Full digital inspection reports and site-ready labeling included.
- 5. Installation & Aftercare: We deliver and install nationwide, with fully trained site teams (CHAS and SSIP accredited). Files can be archived 5 years, every tooling or design change logged. Quarterly reviews help us refine repeat projects.

FAQs
What materials and finishes?
UKCA and BS EN 1090 certified steel, stainless, aluminum, 5052, 6061, A36, 304, 316. Finishes include powder coat 2-4 mil, anodize 0.0006-0.0012″, zinc 8-12 μm, bead-blast Ra 16-32 μin, and galvanizing to ISO 1461. Everything is specified upfront – no mismatched finishes.
Do you help with design mods or prototyping?
Always. You’ll get a DFM report including bend allowances, hole-edge minimums (≥1.5× thickness), and radii by alloy. This avoids costly rework before fabrication starts.
Certifications and tolerances?
UKCA marked, Constructionline Gold, CHAS Premium Plus, Acclaim accredited. We recalibrate equipment every 6 months. Certificates and material traceability included with each delivery.
How’s quality consistency handled?
Every setup digitally logged: laser power ±0.1 kW, press brake tonnage ±2%. Each job repeats from its archived digital profile – not memory.
Bottom line: Structural or architectural, we deliver steelwork that lands on time, meets spec, and installs cleanly. That’s what keeps our clients coming back nationwide.
