What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of transforming flat metal sheets into functional products and components through cutting, bending, welding, and finishing. At Nottingham Metalworks, we specialize in precision CNC plasma cutting combined with professional MIG and TIG welding to create custom metalwork for businesses and individuals across the East Midlands.

Whether you need a single bespoke item or a batch of identical components, our sheet metal fabrication services offer the flexibility to bring your designs to life. We work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium, handling projects from small decorative pieces to large-scale commercial installations.

Our approach combines modern CNC technology with traditional craftsmanship, allowing us to manufacture everything from intricate metal signage and architectural features to precision parts for machinery. Based in Nottingham, we serve local businesses, contractors, designers, and homeowners who value quality fabrication at competitive prices.

Frequently Asked Questions about Sheet Metal Fabrication

  • What is CNC plasma cutting and when is it used?

    CNC plasma cutting uses a computer-controlled plasma torch to cut precise shapes from metal sheets. It's ideal for complex designs, intricate patterns, and both thin and thick materials. We use CNC plasma cutting for custom signage, decorative metalwork, precision parts, and architectural features. The process offers excellent accuracy and clean edges, making it perfect for projects requiring detailed cuts or repeated identical components.

  • What's the difference between MIG and TIG welding?

    MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding is faster and ideal for mild steel fabrication, offering strong joints for structural work. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding provides more precise, cleaner welds and is essential for stainless steel and aluminium work. We use both techniques depending on your project's material and finish requirements. For sheet metal fabrication, TIG welding often provides superior aesthetic results for visible welds.

  • Can you work from my drawings or designs?

    Yes, we work from CAD files, technical drawings, sketches, or photographs. If you don't have drawings, we can create them based on your measurements and specifications. We'll review your design to ensure it's structurally sound and manufacturable, offering suggestions for improvements where needed. For complex projects, we can develop prototypes before full production.

  • What thickness of metal can you cut?

    Our CNC plasma cutting capabilities handle a range of metal thicknesses depending on the material. Mild steel up to 15 mm, stainless steel up to 12 mm, and aluminium up to 18 mm. For thicker materials or specific requirements, please contact us to discuss your project specifications.

  • Do you offer finishing services like painting?

    Yes, we provide comprehensive finishing services. All mild steel fabrications are primed and hand-painted for superior protection against corrosion. We can paint to specific RAL colours to match your branding or existing metalwork. Powder coating is available for projects requiring extra durability. Stainless steel and aluminium can be supplied with polished, brushed, or natural mill finishes.

  • What's the typical turnaround time for sheet metal fabrication?

    Turnaround times vary depending on project complexity and our current workload. Simple projects like small signs or brackets typically take 2 or 3 days. More complex fabrications requiring design work, multiple components, or special finishes may take a couple of weeks. We'll provide an accurate timeline when quoting your specific project and can accommodate urgent requirements where possible.

  • Can you fabricate just one item or do you only do batch production?

    We happily undertake both one-off custom pieces and batch production runs. Whether you need a unique decorative panel, a prototype component, or fifty identical signs, we offer the same attention to quality and precision. Our flexibility is one advantage of working with a local Nottingham fabricator rather than large-scale industrial manufacturers.

  • Do you only serve commercial clients or can homeowners use your services?

    We welcome projects from businesses and homeowners alike. While we're expanding our commercial sheet metal fabrication services, we've built our reputation serving Nottingham residents with bespoke metalwork for homes and gardens. If you're a homeowner wanting custom metal signage, garden art, or unique decorative features, we'd love to help bring your ideas to life.

  • Are you able to install the metalwork after fabrication?

    Yes, we offer installation services for many of our fabricated items, particularly architectural features, signage, and structural elements. We have extensive experience installing gates, railings, and handrails across Nottingham, and we extend this expertise to commercial metalwork installations. Installation availability depends on the project type and location – we'll discuss this during your consultation.

  • How much does sheet metal fabrication cost?

    Costs vary significantly based on material choice, design complexity, size, finishing requirements, and quantity. Simple items might cost under £50 per unit, while complex commercial projects run into thousands. We provide transparent, detailed quotes with no hidden charges. Contact us with your project details for an accurate, competitive price. Our low overheads as a local Nottingham business mean we can often beat larger fabricators on price.
