PRACTICAL
ENGINEERING. REPAIRS SOLUTIONS.

Repairs, modifications, fabrication, fitting, assembly, 3D printing and practical engineering support when standard parts are not suitable.

Supporting Legacy Rail with Practical Engineering and Fabrication

We worked with Legacy Rail to support the development of a large rail fabrication, helping turn an engineering requirement into a practical, workable assembly.

This type of work is where our general engineering approach is most valuable. Alongside machining and fabrication, we can help with problem solving, modifications, fitting, assembly and the practical details needed to move a project from idea to finished component.

How We Help

Practical Support Across the Workshop

REPAIRS & MODIFICATIONS

We help repair, alter and improve parts where replacement items are not available, too expensive or not quite suitable.

FABRICATION & ASSEMBLY

We support practical fabrication, fitting and assembly work alongside machining to help deliver complete engineering solutions.

CUSTOM SOLUTIONS

We are especially useful when a job needs thought, experience and problem solving rather than simply making a part from a drawing.

Welding, fabrication and general engineering repair work

Repairs, Alterations, Replacement Parts and One-Off Jobs

General engineering covers the work that does not always fit neatly into one box. It may involve machining, fitting, fabrication, measuring, reverse engineering, 3D printing or simply working out the most sensible way to solve the problem.

We are happy to look at one-off jobs, awkward components and practical repair work, as well as more regular engineering support.

Our Approach

We Start With the Problem, Not Just the Process

01

LISTEN

We find out what has failed, what needs improving, what the part must do and what outcome the customer actually needs.

02

ASSESS

We look at the part, drawing, sample or idea and consider the most practical route using machining, fabrication or printing.

03

MAKE

We manufacture, modify, repair or prototype the component using the most suitable in-house engineering method.

04

SUPPORT

We check the result, communicate clearly and help the customer get a working solution rather than just another part.
