Metalwork, made simpler.

Cut to your shape.

Plates, panels, brackets and profiles. Tell us the shape and what it needs to do; we help resolve the specification.

Mild steel

Laser cut up to 25 mm thick.

Stainless steel

Laser cut up to 20 mm thick.

Aluminium

Laser cut up to 15 mm thick.

Brass

Laser cut up to 5 mm thick.

Sheet size

Cutting bed up to 3,000 × 1,500 mm. Usable part size depends on material, thickness and the cutting detail.

Ask us about other grades or materials. We confirm material, dimensions and suitability with your quote.

Fold. Weld. Machine.

Turn separate pieces into the detail or assembly you need. A sketch and key dimensions are enough to start.

Folding and bending

Press-brake route up to 3 m / 100 tonnes. Achievable thickness depends on material, bend length, radius and tooling.

Welding

MIG, TIG, spot and stud welding equipment. Material and joint requirements are reviewed for each job.

Machining

Turning, milling, drilling and tapping, including details on turned components. Size and tolerance limits are quoted per part.

Assembly

Rivets, threaded inserts and component assembly. Tell us how the parts must fit together.

We coordinate the manufacturing route. Structural design, certification, installation and specialist inspection are scoped separately where required.

Choose the finish.

Colour, texture and protection, specified for the material and where the part will be used.

Powder coating

Powder coating for cut and fabricated parts, with pre-treatment and shot blasting where appropriate. We confirm colour, sheen and assembled size with your quote.

Galvanising

Galvanising for suitable parts and assemblies. We confirm the process and any venting or drainage details needed.

Polishing and graining

Stainless-steel graining and specialist polishing routes. Specify the required appearance or provide a reference sample.

Anodising

Anodising for suitable aluminium parts. We confirm alloy, colour, treatment and part dimensions with your quote.

Plating

Plating to suit the required coating and component specification. Ask us about your application.

Bronze powder coating is a colour effect, not solid bronze. Samples and the final finish specification are agreed with your quote; screen colours are illustrative.

Raw materials.

The metal you need, supplied through APG. Order stock sections or cut lengths for your project, with help choosing the right material and size.

Material routes

Steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper, subject to the selected product’s custom-cut option.

Sections, bars and sheet

Angles, channels, box section, tube, flat bar, round and square bar, plus sheet. Available shapes and sizes depend on the material and grade.

Stock or cut to length

Tell us the profile dimensions, required length and quantity. We bring material supply, cutting and delivery together in your APG quote.

Standard cut

Standard cut-to-length tolerance: −0/+3 mm, normally a 50 mm minimum length. Ask for deburring or edge finishing if required.

Clean edges or a closer fit?

Request deburring, finishing or machining explicitly. These are additional requirements, not included in the standard cut-to-length claim.

Unsure what to order?

Send a photo, sketch or example of how it will be used. We help identify the section and confirm the specification before supply.

Priced for your exact section, quantity, edge requirements and delivery postcode. Request a current delivered quote through APG.

Finished beautifully.

Go beyond choosing a colour. Specify how the metal should look and feel, from softly brushed surfaces to a bright reflective finish.

Bright or satin polish

Bright (mirror) and satin (brushed) options for selected aluminium, brass and stainless-steel profiles. Pre-polished stock and custom polishing are available, subject to the section.

Graining after fabrication

Directional graining and regraining for stainless-steel parts, including a DP1 finish route. Tell us which faces are visible and the direction you want the grain to run.

Edges and small components

Linishing, fettling and rumbling for suitable parts. We review the edge treatment and surface appearance required rather than assuming a standard cut is a finished edge.

Prepare, then protect

Shot blasting and pre-treatment where appropriate before powder coating. Share the intended setting and a sample or colour reference so we can agree the complete finish.

Finish availability depends on the material, shape and exposed faces. We confirm the specification, any sample requirements and price in your APG quote.

You do not need to speak engineering.

Describe what the part needs to do, where it will be used and roughly how big it is. Add a photograph, sketch or STEP file if you have one. APG helps resolve the specification and brings it all together in one reviewed quote.
